# Quickstart

> Go from a new account to your first website.

Make your first website with Ted. You tell him about your business in your own words, he builds it, and you publish it to a link you can share.

<Note>
  New accounts start on the waitlist. When you’re let in, Build, Run and Payments open up, and we let you know.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your free account">
    Go to [foundable.com](https://foundable.com/) and choose **Get Early Access**. Then choose **Continue with Google** or **Continue with Apple**, or type your email and choose **Continue**.

    If you use your email, we send you a code. Type it in, and you’re signed in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tell Ted what to make">
    You’ll see **Let’s create your business.** Pick one way to start:

    * **I have an idea**: tell Ted about it. Even one sentence is plenty.
    * **Show me some ideas**: pick one of Ted’s ideas, and he starts building it right away.
    * **Surprise me**: Ted chooses a business for you, plans it and makes your first build.

  <Step title="Look at your website">
    Your first website opens in **Build**. Only you can see it until you publish.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish it">
    Choose **Publish** at the top of Build, then **Publish** again. When you see **Your website is live**, choose **Copy link** to share it.
  </Step>
