Locofy.ai + Hostwares: From Design to a Live Website
Turning a design into a working website can take time, especially when you need to convert designs into production-ready code. With Locofy.ai, you can transform supported designs into code. Once your project is ready, Hostwares can provide the hosting and deployment environment to take your website online. This guide shows you how to move from your design to a live website step by step.
Step 1: Create Your Design
Start by preparing your website or application design in a supported design tool, such as Figma. Make sure your pages, layouts, buttons, images, and responsive elements are organized properly before converting the design into code.
Step 2: Import Your Design into Locofy.ai
Open Locofy.ai and import or connect your supported design project. Use Locofy.ai to convert your design into a frontend project. Review the generated code and make any necessary adjustments to your layout, components, responsiveness, or interactions.
Step 3: Export Your Code
Once your project is ready, export the generated code using the available Locofy.ai export options. Depending on your workflow, you may export the project directly or send it to a connected GitHub repository. Make sure the project contains all required files before deployment.
Step 4: Choose a Hostwares Hosting Plan
Now it’s time to put your website online. Visit Hostwares and open the Hosting section. Review the available plans and choose the one that matches your project's requirements. Click Get Started or Buy Now and complete the checkout process.
Step 5: Open Your Hostwares Dashboard
Log in to your Hostwares account and open your Dashboard.Find the Deploy section to begin setting up your website.
Step 6: Connect Your GitHub Repository
If your Locofy.ai project is stored on GitHub, select the GitHub deployment option in Hostwares. Connect your GitHub account and choose the repository containing your generated frontend code. Select the appropriate branch for deployment.
Step 7: Configure Your Deployment
Before launching your website, review the deployment settings. Depending on the technology used by your Locofy project, you may need to configure:
- Build command
- Output directory
- Runtime settings
- Environment variables
- Required dependencies Use the configuration required by your project's framework.
Step 8: Deploy Your Website
Once the configuration is ready, start the deployment. Hostwares will build and deploy your project based on the connected repository and configuration. After a successful deployment, you will receive a live URL where you can view your website.
Step 9: Test Your Website
Open the deployment URL and check your website carefully. Make sure:
- All pages load correctly
- Images and assets appear properly
- Buttons and links work
- Responsive design works on mobile and desktop
- Forms and integrations work correctly
- There are no visible layout issues
Step 10: Connect Your Custom Domain
A custom domain gives your website a professional identity. Open Domain settings in Hostwares and add your domain. Then update the required DNS records at your domain provider using the instructions provided by Hostwares. Once DNS propagation is complete, your domain will point to your deployed website.
Step 11: Enable SSL
Protect your website with SSL/HTTPS. Use the available SSL settings in your Hostwares dashboard and follow the configuration instructions. Once SSL is active, visitors can securely access your website using HTTPS.
Step 12: Update and Manage Your Website
Your website is now live, but you can continue improving it. When you update your design or code in Locofy.ai, export or push the updated project to your GitHub repository. Then redeploy the updated version through Hostwares when required. Your workflow becomes: Design → Locofy.ai → Code → GitHub → Hostwares → Domain → SSL → Live Website
