Type your restaurant's name. Watch it appear.

Almost every course about building a website starts with a chapter you can skip. This one doesn't. Type three things and your site begins.

Look to the right. Your name is already there, on the very first version of your site. That browser-chrome around it isn't a screenshot — it's a tiny working page that re-renders every time you type. Read it once. Then come back.

Everything after this lesson uses your own restaurant — your name, your cuisine, your neighborhood — as the working example. Generic examples aren't allowed on Muntin. We don't show you what some restaurant's site looks like. We show you what yours looks like, one decision at a time. Two more inputs and you're done with this lesson.

Notice the small colored chip that just appeared above your name in the preview. That's a placeholder for your brand color, picked by your cuisine. You'll choose three colors that are actually yours in Lesson 7; for now, you're seeing a reasonable starting point.

Scroll the preview on the right. Your address now appears under Find us.

That's it. You're done with Lesson 1.

You just made the first three decisions of your restaurant website. Everything that follows builds on these. The next lesson is about what a restaurant website is actually for — five minutes, no typing required.
