Create a site
Set up your first EarlyForge site with categories, countries, languages, and a style guide.
Create a site
A site is your workspace in EarlyForge. It holds your articles, briefs, configuration, and connected CMS. If you completed the onboarding, you already have a default site — this guide shows how to configure it or create additional ones.
Multi-site support: On Pro plans and above, you can manage multiple sites from a single account. Each site has isolated content and settings — perfect for agencies managing multiple client blogs.
Configure your site
Open site settings
Navigate to Sites in the sidebar. Click on your site name, or click "New Site" to create a new one.
