Question 1

What makes this different from other website builders?

Accepted Answer

Unshift is the only builder that lets you connect any AI model (Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini) over MCP, using your own subscription. Generate and customize your site visually, manage content with a built-in CMS, and publish to a live URL with a custom domain in minutes. The production-ready React + Vite code is yours to keep.

Question 2

Which AI models can I use, and what is MCP?

Accepted Answer

Connect Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), or Gemini (Google) over MCP, the Model Context Protocol. You bring your own model and subscription and can switch whenever you like, so your site is never tied to a single provider.

Question 3

Is there a CMS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every site includes a built-in CMS for editing copy, images, and structured content, plus API data connectors for live data. Update your site without touching code or redeploying.

Question 4

Do I need to know React?

Accepted Answer

No. Connect an AI model and the visual editor lets you build and customize without writing code, while the built-in CMS handles content. Knowing React helps if you want to extend the production-ready code you own.

Question 5

What technologies are used in the generated code?

Accepted Answer

All generated applications use React, Vite, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and shadcn/ui components. Sites are hosted on Cloudflare's global CDN. The code follows React best practices and is production-ready.

Question 6

Can I customize the generated code?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You have full access to the source code and can export and modify it however you need, then republish your changes to your hosted site.

Question 7

What's included in the free tier?

Accepted Answer

The free tier includes the full visual builder with professionally designed blocks, the theme builder, form builder, data connectors, free templates, and 3 published sites on Unshift subdomains (with Unshift branding). No credit card required.

Question 8

What's included in the Pro tier?

Accepted Answer

Pro is $20 per published site per month ($200/year, which is 2 months free). You can draft unlimited sites for free and only pay when you publish. Each published site includes a custom domain with managed SSL, traffic analytics, collaborators, code export, and removal of Unshift branding.

Question 9

What's included in the Business tier?

Accepted Answer

Business is coming soon. It adds team features on top of Pro (a shared team workspace, role-based access, centralized billing, and priority support) at $30 per user per month.

Question 10

Can I use the code commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The code you generate is yours to use commercially according to our licensing terms. The main restriction is that you cannot resell or redistribute our pre-built blocks and templates as standalone products.

Question 11

Can I resell websites built with your platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can build, host, and sell websites to clients. The generated code is yours to use commercially, and on Pro you publish on the client's custom domain with Unshift branding removed. Fuller white-label options are planned for higher tiers.

Question 12

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we take security seriously. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Sites are hosted on Cloudflare's global CDN with automatic SSL. We use industry-standard security practices and regularly audit our systems.
