The gap nobody talks about
You can design a site. You can get an AI tool to write clean HTML and CSS for it. You have a finished folder sitting on your desktop that looks exactly right.
And then the next step is a wall of things nobody taught you: repositories, build commands, DNS records, a terminal. Every guide you find assumes you already know what those are, and the ones that do not assume it are trying to sell you a website builder that would mean rebuilding the thing you already finished.
The gap is not between designing and coding. You solved that. The gap is between having the files and having a link.
What this looks like on sofast
That is the deployment step. There is no second one.
Not a generated string of characters. Something you can say out loud on a call.
HTTPS is already on. It works on a phone. Nobody has to download anything.
Upload a new version and it replaces the old one at the same address. Everything you already shared keeps working and now shows the update.
What you do not have to learn
None of that is on the path. Not hidden behind a simple mode, not optional for advanced users. It is not there.
"I can just use a free drop tool"
You can, and for a link you need this afternoon you probably should.
The problem arrives later. Free drop tools give you a random address and, in most cases, are not designed to keep your site around — some hold a preview for an hour, others remove anything nobody claimed. That is fine for a check. It is not fine for the link in your email signature, on your business card, or in the job application you sent last month.
The difference is not speed. Both take under a minute. The difference is whether the link still works in March.
Compared with drop tools →"It is expensive for one site"
Starter is $5 a month billed yearly, and covers two sites with your own domain and SSL included. Billed monthly, it is 20% more.
Most freelancers stay there until the day a client is about to see the link and a generic subdomain suddenly feels wrong. That is when a custom domain matters — and it is included from the first plan.
See the plans →What people actually put here
A portfolio. The single most common one. Your work, your name in the address, updated whenever you finish something.
A resume as a link. Instead of a PDF attachment that freezes the moment you send it. Fix a typo after applying and every application you sent now shows the corrected version.
A landing page for one project. A launch, a side project, a pitch. Live in a minute, gone whenever you want.
A client's site, before you hand it over. Somewhere real for them to look at it that is not a screenshot in a shared document.
If your site came out of an AI tool
That is what this is built for. The files Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Lovable produce are static HTML, CSS and JavaScript — exactly what sofast serves.
The part that varies is getting the files out, and each tool does it differently. Claude downloads artifacts directly. Gemini has no download button at all. Lovable exports full application source that needs a build step first.
Common questions
No. If you have the files, you have everything you need. Publishing is an upload.
You cannot break anything permanently. Uploading a new version replaces the current one, and your files stay on your own computer regardless. If a site arrives looking wrong, it is almost always a missing file rather than anything lost.
When a site looks broken →Yes. Your files are yours and downloadable from your dashboard at any time. There is no proprietary format, no lock-in, and no export fee. If you had a custom domain, you repoint its DNS records and leave.
No. Starter is $5 a month billed yearly, and you can cancel at any time — you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
Larger plans add more sites — 10 on Pro, 30 on Large. If you grow into managing sites for several clients, that is a different shape of problem.
