As a User, I want to create a Space for the first time so that I can begin adding knowledge, structuring my space and inviting members.

Acceptance criteria

Ways to create site:

User arrives from the marketing site (hypermedia) and clicks "Create Site"

User opens the avatar menu on any site — whether logged in or not — and clicks "Create Site"

User is signed in, navigates to "My Profile," and clicks the "Create Site" button

User names the space with maximum of characters and decides if the space is public or private (permissions task)

Identity elements:

User have the option to add a cover image, a logo and a favicon . User can skip this step and do it later in space settings accesible from the avatar dropdown.

If user does not add a logo, the name of the space will be added on the header's logo area.

If user does not add a cover or a favicon, will simply not appear.

Navigation & Appearance step:

On the create site flow, the admin sets global options (show publication tabs, show publication date, etc.)

Admin does it here and applies to all documents, instead of configuring each document individually, keeping all documents consistent.

As a result, we can remove "document settings" from the 3-dot menu.

First time landing / next steps:

User lands in the home page after the space is created. A success toast is shown confirming it.

The homepage is empty with indicators on how to start (Introducing space, Insert content, importing...)

Publish trigger

The Publish action (and associated account creation prompt) is triggered only after the user has made at least one meaningful edit to their space (e.g. filled in the title, description, or added a content block), not before they've previewed their work on the live canvas.

Card disappear once one of them is completed

Create account and domain flow

When user clicks publish, create account + domain flow happened → ⚠️As an admin, I want to publish my website with a free Hypermedia URL

Links items (header):

We're shifting the mental model. The header is no longer the navigation base — it's now a space where admins can optionally add links . The primary navigation base is the document browser we just implemented.

No sections or documents are created here — only quick-access links to existing docs.

Invite collaborators trigger

✅ As an admin, I want to manage who has access to my space

Design

Create site on avatar dropdown.

In browser, user will create a site and access her site from the avatar dropdown.

Create site from profile:

First time landing / next steps: on boarding concept

Add or edit links on the header:

Implementation Review Log create site

User already has a site This is what is currently implemented This is what I propose Paragraph sizes and what is coming backround Make Paragraph size 1 point bigger in all screens to make it easier to read Add blurred background to create expectation of what is coming in all screens Identity elements Add image as I designed for cover image. It gives information to the user of where it will go. Navigation and appearence On the meeting we had we said: I can not create space to see what happens next and review the next of the flow 🧐 When creating the space, we should: on desktop, when user clicks create site from the on boarding option, we should show the same flow, right panel. Also, the get started with Seed should have a selected status in this case. Can we implement the on boarding screen after site creation? This could change, but we need some guide for the user to understand how to start. Also the different treatment to the home to be able to introduce the site.
