How it works
The whole run, before you sign up for anything.
A brief goes in and a site on your client's domain comes out. In between there is one gate you control: nothing gets designed until you have read the content plan and agreed to it.
Free plan available. No credit card required.
Step 01
Give it whatever you already have.
Most client projects do not start from nothing. Bring the thing that is closest to the work — the address of the site they have now, the brief they emailed you, or a few sentences about the business.
A web address
https://oldclientsite.com
A redesign reads the site they have now, keeps the pages and the content, and rebuilds the design around them. A WordPress site brings its pages and posts across.
A brief or a document
lotus-and-marigold-brief.pdf
Upload the PDF the client sent you, the scope document, or the notes from the call. It becomes the page architecture and the content plan.
A description
Beauty studio in Miami. Facials, brows, bridal. Calm and premium, never clinical.
A business name and a few sentences is enough to start. Copy you already have is used as you wrote it rather than rewritten.
You can combine them. A web address plus the brief plus the new copy is the most common start.
Step 02
It asks for what it is missing.
A brief is never complete. Rather than filling the gaps with plausible-sounding invention, the builder asks — in plain language, a few questions at a time, about the things that would otherwise have to be made up.
It asks instead of assuming
Prices, opening hours, service names and areas covered are the things a generator invents. These are the things it asks about.
Answer now or later
Skip a question and the plan marks it as needing your input rather than filling it in for you.
What are we building? Paste a web address, drop a brief, or just describe the business.
Beauty studio in Miami. Facials, brows, bridal. Calm and premium, never clinical.
Got it. Two things I would otherwise have to guess: do you want prices shown on the treatments page, and is bridal a package or a separate service?
Prices from, not exact. Bridal is its own page with three packages.
Step 03
The gateNothing is designed until you approve the content plan.
This is the step that separates a website from a demo. Before a single design exists, you get the whole site written out page by page — what each page is for, what goes on it, and where every fact came from. Read it, change it, then approve it. Only then does anything get built.
It is also the answer to the thing agencies are actually afraid of. A design you can fix in an afternoon. A price the AI invented, published on your client's site, is a phone call you do not want to take.

Step 04
Three complete designs. The same content in all three.
One round produces three complete, multi-page designs from the plan you approved. The words, the pages and the offer are identical in each. What changes is composition, typography, colour and rhythm — the part your client actually has an opinion about.
Pick a direction to see it larger.
Three directions produced from one beauty-studio brief.
Ask for more rounds
If none of the three is right, run another round. A site holds up to ten designs.
Switch the live one any time
The designs your client did not pick stay on the site. Changing which one is live takes a click.
Send it for review
A review link works on desktop and mobile. Your client clicks an element and leaves a note against it, or approves.
Step 05
Change it by clicking, or by saying what you want.
Once a direction is chosen you refine it rather than regenerate it. Click any element on the page and edit it in place, or describe the change and let the assistant make it. Both go through the same version history.
Click it
Select a heading, an image or a button and change it where it sits. No separate editor, no rebuild.

SavedAsk for it
Describe the change in a sentence. Layout, spacing, tone, a whole section rewritten — it is the same instruction you would give a designer.
Make the hero feel more premium and move booking above the gallery on mobile
Widened the hero spacing, tightened the type scale, and moved the booking block above the gallery at phone widths. Content unchanged.
AppliedAnything can be undone.
Every change — yours, the assistant's, a client note turned into an edit — lands in version history with the person who made it. Restoring an earlier version is a click, so nobody has to be careful.
Step 06
Publish to the client's domain.
Connect the domain, publish, and the site goes out as static pages on our CDN. You keep editing afterwards — publishing again is the same button.
Their domain, their site
The published site carries no Mondovo branding and lives on the address the client owns.
Hosting and SSL included
Both come with a live site on Pro. There is nothing else to buy or renew.
Free plan publishes too
The free plan puts one site live on a Mondovo subdomain. A custom domain needs Pro, at $20 a month for that site.

And then it keeps going
The run ends at publish. The work does not.
A launched site is where a retainer starts. Enquiries land in an inbox and become contacts, SEO is set per page, forms need no third-party service, and every edit stays undoable.
Before your first run
What people ask about the process.
How long does a run take?
The brief and the questions take as long as you want them to. The content plan and the three designs are generated while you wait rather than scheduled for later. The honest answer is that reading the plan properly is the slowest part, and that is the part worth not rushing.
What stops it inventing prices or details?
Two things. It asks about the facts it would otherwise have to guess, and it writes the whole site out as a content plan you approve before any design exists. If something is wrong you find it in a page of text, not on a published site.
What if none of the three designs is right?
Run another round from the same content plan. A site holds up to ten designs, and the ones you do not choose stay available. Switching which one is live takes a click.
Can I use copy the client already wrote?
Yes, and it is used as written. Paste it in at the start or upload the document. The content plan shows you exactly where it landed.
What happens to the site they have now?
A redesign keeps the existing pages and content and rebuilds the design around them. A WordPress site brings its pages and posts across. You review what came in before anything is designed.
Can I do this from Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. Mondovo has an MCP connector, so an assistant you already use can create a site, generate and compare designs, refine a page and publish, inside that conversation. There is also a voice mode for describing the business out loud and asking for changes.
Start with the brief on your desk
Run it once and see what comes out.
The brief, the plan, the designs and the revisions cost nothing. You pay when a site goes live.
