Documentation

Everything Snazy does, explained in plain language. Pick a topic. Every guide is short, because the tools mostly explain themselves. These pages tell you what exists and where to find it.

Start here

  • Getting started: from sign-up to your first published page.
  • The Wheel: the editing wheel, with a working demo you can click.

Build your site

  • Pages: the URLs of your site. Layouts, slots, navigation, publishing.
  • Content: the words and data. Entries, drafts, announcements.
  • Blocks: reusable pieces that pick content and render it, with a live preview while you edit.
  • Layouts: the skeletons pages hang blocks on.
  • Templates: the field schemas behind every kind of content.

Make it yours

Account
Your Snazy login. An account owns sites (matched by email) and can hold several; the account is the identity, a site is something it owns.
  • Account
Advanced CSS
A theme’s layer for hand-written CSS, for anything the visual controls don’t cover. Included on every plan.
  • Themes
Announcement
A dated update entry: release notes, news, notices. Ordinary content with a date and a place to shine.
  • Content
Block
A reusable piece of page: it picks content and renders it. Built from a Template plus a source, edited with a live preview.
  • Blocks
Column
A vertical division inside a Row. Layouts arrange Rows and Columns; blocks fill them.
  • Layouts
Connected apps
The page listing every AI assistant connected to your sites, each with a Disconnect button. In your account, and per site in admin.
  • AI connector
Connector
The address an AI assistant uses to reach your site over MCP. One universal address for all of Snazy; you pick the site when you connect.
  • AI connector
Content (entry)
One piece of what your site says, shaped by its Template: an article, a FAQ item, a team member.
  • Content
Cord
A patched connection between two jacks on the I/O bus. No cord, no flow.
  • Signals
Custom domain
A web address you already own, pointed at your Snazy site. Available on any plan.
  • Account
Datasource
A named feed of entries a block can render as a set, such as every published entry of one template. Powers grids, lists, and this glossary.
  • Blocks
  • Content
Draft
Anything unpublished. Visitors cannot see it; you can, as a preview. Nothing goes live until you publish it.
  • Pages
  • Content
Effects
Ready-made motion and polish a block can carry, toggled on per block. No code.
  • Blocks
Event
What a Signals Send fires on: a value change, a click, a key press, a mouse button, or one element touching another.
  • Signals
Field
One input a Template defines: a heading, a body, an image, a date. Filling in fields is how you write templated content.
  • Templates
  • Content
Free plan
Every design and content tool, unlimited pages, a real site at no cost. Reach and commerce features live on Pro.
  • Account
Guard
A condition on a Signals Receive: it reacts only when the page is in a named state. How simple cords add up to real behavior.
  • Signals
I/O bus (patch bay)
The rack of numbered jacks where Signals wiring lives, and the one place to see everything that is connected.
  • Signals
Jack
One numbered socket on the I/O bus. Sends publish into a jack; receives listen on one.
  • Signals
Layout
A page’s skeleton: named regions in a responsive grid, holding no content of its own.
  • Layouts
Markdown
A light way to write formatted text (headings, links, lists, bold) that renders to clean HTML. Some content bodies use it.
  • Content
Match
A filter on a Receive so it answers only to specific values. List items can match per item, each reacting to its own.
  • Signals
MCP (the AI connector)
The open Model Context Protocol. Snazy speaks it so assistants like Claude and ChatGPT can read and edit your site with your approval.
  • AI connector
Media library
Your site’s shared image store, on managed storage. Upload once, use anywhere.
  • Media
Meta description
The short summary a Page carries for search engines and link previews. Each page sets its own.
  • Pages
Nav (navigation)
Your site’s menu. A Page joins it when “Include in nav” is ticked, and sort order arranges the items.
  • Pages
Page
A URL on your site: a title, a Layout, and a Block in each slot.
  • Pages
Pro plan
Adds the outward-facing machinery: a store, forms, a newsletter, community features, the AI connector, custom branding, more editors, and a write API.
  • Account
Prose
A plain writing surface for an entry’s body: paragraphs, no fields to fill in. The Article template’s body is prose.
  • Content
  • Templates
Publish
The switch that makes a draft visible to the world. Pages, entries, and changes all wait for it.
  • Pages
  • Content
Receive
A block’s listening side: it reacts to a value arriving on a jack with a verb (set text, toggle a class, count, filter, show or hide).
  • Signals
Region
A named area of a Layout (hero, body, sidebar). Regions hold the slots a Page fills with Blocks.
  • Layouts
Row
A horizontal band of a page. The Wheel appears around a Row while editing; the add-arrows create new Rows.
  • The Wheel
  • Layouts
Search box
A live search field you drop on a list: as the visitor types, a filter cord hides the items that don’t match. No code.
  • Signals
Send
A block field’s publishing side: on an event (click, keypress, typing, contact) it publishes a value into a jack.
  • Signals
Share image
The image a Page shows when its link is posted to a social network or chat. Set per page.
  • Pages
Signals
The wiring system that lets blocks talk to each other: sends, receives, jacks, and cords. Interactivity with zero code.
  • Signals
Site
One website you own on Snazy, with its own address, content, and theme. A single account can own several sites.
  • Account
Slot
One named position in a Layout that a Page fills with a Block.
  • Layouts
  • Pages
Slug
The short lowercase name that identifies a page or entry, and forms the page’s address: ?page=about.
  • Pages
  • Content
Source
Where a Block gets its content: one specific entry, the entry named after the current page, a list of entries, or a datasource.
  • Blocks
Static layout
The simplest Layout: one column that renders the content entry sharing the page’s slug. The quickest way to make a written page.
  • Pages
  • Layouts
Style editor
The click-to-style tool: click any element on your live site and change exactly that.
  • Themes
Template
The field schema behind a kind of content, driving both its edit form and its rendering. Yours to author on every plan.
  • Templates
The Wheel
The ring of editing controls that appears around a Row. Every seat keeps its place, so your hands learn it fast.
  • The Wheel
Theme
Everything about how the site looks: tokens, styling, and advanced CSS, kept separate from the words.
  • Themes
Theme assets
Images that belong to a theme (textures, backgrounds) rather than to your shared Media library.
  • Themes
  • Media
Token
A named design value in a theme (a core color, a font choice, a spacing step) that the basics refer to.
