Sign up with an email address#
Creating a CubeSites account takes a name, an email address and a password of at least 10 characters. There is no Google or Microsoft sign-in: your email address is your sign-in. Use an address you will keep, because it is also where website messages and invoices are sent.
Signing up starts a 14-day trial in a new workspace, with one trial licence for one website, working as Pro unless you choose Standard. A workspace holds your websites, your licences, your media and the people you work with. Most people give the workspace their company name and never change it again.
Start building your website
Try everything for 14 days, no card needed. Buy a licence when you are ready to publish.

Check your email to verify your address before you sign in.

The menu keeps every part of the workspace a click away, and the cards at the bottom show your trial and AI drafts.
Step 1 of 5
Your name
Colleagues see this beside anything you do, so use your own name rather than a job title.
Reduced motion is on, so the walkthrough waits for you. Use the arrows or pick a step.
- 1Open the sign-up page and enter your name and email address.
- 2Choose a password of at least 10 characters.
- 3Give the workspace a name, usually your company or team name.
- 4Press Create account.
Good to know: The workspace name can be changed later in Settings, under Workspace.
Confirm your email address#
CubeSites sends a short message to the address you entered. Open it and follow the link before you sign in. If it has not arrived, look in your junk folder and search for CubeSites.
Verification confirms that you control that mailbox. It is separate from any invitation you might also receive: if you have both, verify the account first, then accept the invitation with the same address.

Step 1 of 2
Create the account
The form checks the details, then sends the confirmation message to the address you entered.
Reduced motion is on, so the walkthrough waits for you. Use the arrows or pick a step.
Before you continue: Never forward a verification link to anyone. If the link fails, return to the sign-in page and ask CubeSites to send a new one.
What you get straight away#
A new workspace starts empty. Websites, Licences, Templates, Media and Settings are the places you will use most, and the AI drafts card shows how many drafts the month allows.
A trial builds and previews one website, on Standard or Pro, but nothing can be published until a licence is bought for it. That gate keeps a half-finished site off the internet by accident, not to surprise you at the end.
If a colleague signs up later, invite them into the same workspace rather than letting them create a second one. Two workspaces do not share websites or media.

Step 1 of 3
The places you will use
Home, Websites, Licences, Templates, Media and Settings. Everything you do daily lives in one of them.
Reduced motion is on, so the walkthrough waits for you. Use the arrows or pick a step.
- 1Take a look at the Websites page, which stays empty until you start a site.
- 2Open Settings once to check your name and time zone.
- 3Invite anyone who will work on the site early, so they can watch it grow.
Your first real task#
Most people do one of two things next: start a website from a template, or describe their business and let AI draft the pages. Both routes lead to the same editor, and everything the AI writes is a draft you can change or throw away.
- 1Start your first website.
- 2Or read how the editor works first.
Good to know: Nothing you do in a trial needs a card. You can build the whole site and buy a licence for it when you are ready to publish.
Common questions
Can I change the email address on my account?
Not from inside the app. Ask support to change it, from the address that is currently on the account.
Do I need a card to start?
No. The trial starts without a card. A card is only needed when you buy a licence, so a website can be published.
