Enchant.ee
Get started

Getting started

The landing page, and installing the app

The front door of Enchant.ee doesn't scroll. It's a deck of seven full-screen cards you move through one at a time. This chapter covers what's on each card, every way to move between them, how to add Enchant.ee to a phone home screen, and the three screens you'll see if something breaks.

What the landing page is

Open enchant.ee while signed out and you land on card one of seven. The other six are stacked behind it in 3D. Only one card is ever on screen — moving forward flips the whole card away and brings the next one up.

This replaces scrolling completely. There is no long page underneath, and no scrollbar. If you have used a site where the mouse wheel scrolls text, the wheel here changes card instead.

  • Card 1 — Home: the headline, the four keyword demos, and the first place you can claim your name.
  • Card 2 — Editor: a short silent film of the real editor building a page.
  • Card 3 — Widgets: two moving rows of the pieces you can put on a page.
  • Card 4 — Features: a grid of five tiles summarising what the product does.
  • Card 5 — Pricing: the four plans, a monthly/yearly switch, and a ten-row comparison.
  • Card 6 — FAQ: seven questions with answers.
  • Card 7 — Start: the closing panel, a second name field, and the footer links.

Note

Every button on the landing page that starts something takes you into setup, not into a sign-up form. You build the page first; the account comes afterwards, to save what you made. The one exception is Sign in in the bar at the top, which is for people who already have an account.

Watch out

The landing page always renders in light mode, even if you set Theme to Dark. So do sign-in, sign-up, choosing your name and setup. Dark mode starts once you're inside the app. There's a full explanation further down.

Moving through the deck

Five different controls do the same job. Use whichever suits the device you're on.

On a phone or tablet — swipe

  1. Put a finger anywhere on the card.
  2. Drag up for the next card, or down for the previous one.
  3. Lift. If the drag travelled more than 45 px — roughly a fingertip — the deck flips.

The card does not follow your finger. Nothing moves until you let go, and then it either flips or it doesn't. A harder swipe never skips two cards.

On a computer — wheel, trackpad or arrow keys

  • One wheel click, or one two-finger swipe on a trackpad, flips one card. A short pause is enforced afterwards (700 ms) so a trackpad's coasting doesn't fly through three cards.
  • goes to the next card and to the previous one, from anywhere on the page.

Tip

The arrow keys are ignored while your cursor is inside a text field. That's deliberate — it means you can type a name into the Enchant.ee/ box without the deck jumping around under you.

Jumping straight to a card

  • The dot rail — a column of seven dots on the right edge, on wider screens. The current card's dot is a tall pill; the rest are small. Hover one to see its name.
  • The progress pill — the same seven dots in a small capsule at the bottom centre, on phones. Each dot is a tap target.
  • The bar at the top — on wider screens it carries five links: Editor, Widgets, Features, Pricing, FAQ. There is no link back to card 1 and none to card 7; use the dot rail for those.
  • The footer links on card 7 also jump back into the deck — Features, Widgets, Pricing and FAQ.

Note

Dots and links jump straight to a card. Swiping, wheeling and the arrow keys walk — one card per gesture, always. Press an arrow again before a flip has finished and the deck queues it and keeps walking, about a third of a second a card. So card 1 to card 7 is six flips by arrow key, and one by dot.

The hint on your first visit

On a phone, a small dark capsule sits above the progress pill reading Swipe up to explore. It fades away the first time you change card, by any method.

Watch out

The hint isn't remembered between visits. It comes back on every fresh page load until you move off card 1 again. Seeing it a second time doesn't mean anything went wrong.

If a card looks cut off

Cards 2 to 7 shrink themselves to fit your window rather than scroll. On a short window the whole card — type, spacing and all — gets smaller together. Past a certain point it stops shrinking and the overflow is trimmed, and because there's no scrollbar there's nothing to reveal it. Making the window taller, or turning a phone upright, brings it back.

Card 1 — the hero and the four keyword chips

The headline reads Beautiful page, on one line and designed to connect. on the next. Underneath it, a sentence has four small pill buttons built into it: link in bio, portfolio, art gallery and shop, followed by the prompt Tap one to see.

Tapping a chip throws a cloud of example cards across the screen behind the text — the kind of page that word describes. It's a demo, not a setting: nothing you tap here is remembered or carried into your own page.

ChipWhat flies out
link in bioSocial app icons, a now-playing music card, link rows, a follower count, a video card.
portfolioA name and job title, an availability badge, work and skill cards, a client quote, certificates, a showreel.
art galleryTwelve framed photographs in three frame styles, with handwritten captions.
shopProduct cards with prices and sale badges, an earnings panel, and new-order notifications.
  • The demo starts on link in bio.
  • Left alone, it changes on its own every 5 s, in the order the chips appear. It stops after twelve changes so the page doesn't animate forever.
  • Tapping any chip restarts that budget from zero. So does coming back to card 1 — and, on a computer, moving the pointer into the card after it has settled.
  • On a phone the cloud is capped at eight cards and stays in the top band of the screen, so it never covers the words.
  • If your device is set to reduce motion, the cards appear in place without flying, and the automatic changes are switched off entirely — the demo stays on link in bio until you tap a chip.

Claiming your name from card 1

The field under the sentence shows Enchant.ee/ followed by a box with yourname in it, and a button reading Claim yours. This is the shortest route into the product.

  1. Type the name you want. Only letters, digits and _ are accepted, and everything is forced to lowercase as you type. The box stops at 20 characters.
  2. Watch the small slot on the right of the box: a spinner while it checks, a green tick for Available, a red cross for Taken.
  3. Press Claim yours, or hit Enter. Setup opens with the name already filled in.

What the tick and cross actually mean

  • Nothing is checked until you've typed 3 characters. A one- or two-letter name shows no icon at all — it isn't accepted, you just find out later.
  • The check waits for a short pause in your typing before it asks the server, so the icon lags your keystrokes slightly.
  • When a name is taken, the button changes to Name taken and stops working until you change the text.
  • A green tick is advice, not a reservation. The name is only yours once you finish setup. If someone else takes it in the meantime, you'll be told then.

Watch out

A handful of names are permanently reserved and will always read Taken no matter how obscure they look. Every starter template name is reserved too.

explore  marketplace  store  shop  pricing  terms  privacy  blog  docs

Heads up

The button is not disabled on an empty box. Pressing Claim yours with nothing typed still opens setup — you'll simply be asked for a name there instead.

The full rules on names, including what happens if the one you want is gone, are in Create your account.

Cards 2, 3 and 4 — what the product does

Card 2 — the editor film

Headline Build it in minutes. Underneath, a silent animation of the real editor plays by itself, in four acts:

  1. A cursor picks a widget out of a palette and drops it onto a phone canvas; the blocks below it move out of the way and the widget snaps into place, then gets dragged taller.
  2. The plain block turns into a working music widget — a spinning record, floating notes, a progress bar.
  3. A star sticker is dragged straight onto the canvas, to show that not everything has to be a box.
  4. The same page cross-fades to desktop size in a browser window, and the music widget is dragged two columns wider while its neighbours shuffle.
  • On a computer the film loops. On a phone it plays once and rests on the final desktop scene.
  • The button below it reads Start building and opens setup with no name filled in.

Watch out

With reduce-motion on, this card shows only its opening still — the palette and an empty phone. None of the four acts play, so the card's promise isn't illustrated. Nothing is broken; the animation is simply switched off.

Card 3 — the widgets

Headline Everything you are, one link away. Two rows of real-looking page pieces slide past in opposite directions: social icons, link cards, photos, a map, quotes, a portfolio card. The note underneath reads Drag, drop & resize any of these on your own page.

  • On a mouse or trackpad, hovering a row pauses it so you can look at something. Tapping does not pause it on a touchscreen — that's on purpose, because a tap-hover sticks and would freeze the row for good.
  • Phones show the first seven items of each row rather than all twelve.
  • Reduce-motion stops both rows where they stand.

Card 4 — the features grid

Headline Every part of you, connected. Five tiles, and nothing to click — this card is a summary, not a menu:

  • A large Every social, one tap tile with nine platform icons and a dashed "add more" slot.
  • A dark tile reading Thousands / pages created / day.
  • A photo tile badged Galleries.
  • A product tile labelled Sell with a price chip.
  • A quote tile reading Finally a page that feels like me., over five overlapping avatar dots.

Card 5 — the plans

Headline Start free. Grow when you do. Four plans, a billing switch, and a ten-row comparison. Nothing on this card charges you or picks a plan — every button opens setup.

The monthly / yearly switch

  • It opens on Yearly, with a SAVE ~30% badge beside it. Yearly prices are shown as an effective monthly figure with the real monthly price struck through.
  • Clicking Monthly switches to monthly prices.
  • Yearly is billed once for the year. On Vedette that saves $44/yr; on Icône, $90/yr.

Watch out

The word Monthly is a button, but the word Yearly is not. Once you're on monthly, clicking Yearly does nothing — you have to click the switch itself to go back.

The numbers count up when the card arrives. Plans and limits is the authoritative version of this table.

Reading the table on a phone or tablet

Below desktop widths the four plan columns are wider than the screen, so the feature names stay frozen on the left and the plan columns slide sideways underneath them. A small swipe → hint sits at the right edge until you pan once; if there's nothing to pan it never appears.

  • Drag sideways to pan — with a mouse as well as a finger. It keeps a little momentum when you let go, unless your device is set to reduce motion.
  • Swiping up or down here still changes card, as everywhere else.
  • With the table focused, and pan it in 80 px steps.

Watch out

The button in each plan column — the one under that plan's price — leads exactly where all the others do: setup. Choosing a plan here does not select it, remember it, or start a payment. You pick a plan later, inside the app.

Card 6 — the questions

Headline Questions? Answered. Seven questions in an accordion. One is open at a time — opening another closes the first, and clicking the open one closes it with nothing left open. The first question is open when the card arrives.

Is it free?
Yes — there's a generous free plan with everything you need to launch a beautiful page. Upgrade to a paid plan when you want more pages, bigger grids, premium effects and selling.
Do I need to code?
Never. Enchant.ee is pure drag & drop — pick widgets, drop them on the grid, resize and arrange. No HTML, no CSS, no templates to wrestle with.
What can I build?
A link-in-bio, a portfolio, an art gallery, a little shop, or a personal intro page — all on the same flexible canvas. Mix and match however you like.
How do I share it?
One clean link: Enchant.ee/yourname. Drop it in your bio, your stories, your email signature — it works everywhere.
Can I sell things?
Yes, on Élégante and up. Add product widgets with a price and checkout, and keep more of what you earn with low transaction fees (just 1.5% on Icône).
Can I cancel anytime?
Of course. Plans are month-to-month with no lock-in — cancel whenever you like and keep your free page.
What's the personality widget?
A quick OCEAN personality test that turns your results into a beautiful chart right on your page — a playful way to show people the real you.

Keyboard: each question is an ordinary button, so Tab reaches it and Enter opens or closes it. There are no arrow-key shortcuts between questions.

Card 7 — the closing card

A dark strip scrolls across the top listing what the product covers — link in bio, portfolio, art gallery, shop, drag & drop, custom fonts, glass effects, embeds, products. Below it a dark panel reads Designed to connect. / Starting with you.

The second name field

There is another Enchant.ee/ box here, with a button reading Get started free. It goes to the same place as the one on card 1, but it behaves differently in three ways worth knowing.

Card 1Card 7
Availability checkTick or cross as you typeNone — no icon ever appears
Button when the name is takenName taken, and it stops workingAlways active
Characters acceptedLetters, digits, _Letters, digits, _ and -

Watch out

A hyphen typed into the card 7 box is accepted there and then silently removed when setup opens — my-name arrives as myname. Hyphens are not valid in an Enchant.ee name. If you care about the exact spelling, use the field on card 1, where you also get a tick or cross.

Eight links, under two headings — Product and Company. On a phone they collapse into one row of chips instead.

  • Features, Widgets, Pricing and FAQ jump back to those cards in the deck.
  • Manual opens this manual, at /docs. It is the only route from the landing page into the documentation.
  • About, Terms and Privacy are real pages and leave the deck.

Why the landing page is always light

This one surprises people, so it's worth stating plainly. If you set Theme to Dark and then sign out, the landing page still opens in light. So do sign-in, sign-up, choosing your name, and setup. Dark mode returns the moment you're inside the app.

It is not a bug and there's nothing to fix — dark mode is deliberately scoped to the signed-in app.

Where you areDoes Dark apply?
The landing page, sign-in, sign-up, name, setupNo — always light
Your dashboard, the editor, previewYes
Someone's public page or shopYes
A post or profile linkYes
About, Terms, PrivacyYes
The 404 pageYes
The crash screenIt inherits — dark if the page behind it was dark, light if the crash happened on one of the always-light entry screens

Watch out

The hint under the setting reads Follow your system, or force light or dark. The word "force" isn't honoured on the entry screens, and the setting doesn't mention the exception. This chapter is the mention.

The setting itself lives in Settings → the Appearance card → Theme, with three choices: System, Light and Dark. It starts on System, which follows your phone or computer and changes live when that does. Dark is true black.

Installing Enchant.ee to a home screen

Enchant.ee is a website that a phone or computer can install like an app: it gets its own icon, opens without an address bar, and appears as its own card when you switch apps.

There is no install button inside Enchant.ee

No banner, no prompt, no "Install app" item in any menu. Installing is done entirely from your browser's own menu — the steps for each browser are below. If you go hunting for it in the app, you won't find it.

What installing gives you

  • A home-screen icon — a purple square with the white Enchant.ee swirl.
  • A window with no address bar and no browser tabs. On Android the phone's own status bar is hidden too, so there's no clock, battery or signal while you're in the app.
  • Its own entry in the app switcher.
  • On iPhone and iPad, it is the only way system notifications can work at all — Apple requires a home-screen app for them.
  • Every Enchant.ee address opens inside the installed app, including other people's pages and shops.

What it does not give you

  • Offline use. With no connection the installed app shows your browser's own offline error. Nothing is stored on the device to read later.
  • Extra features. It is the same site, with the same account and the same plan limits.

Watch out

The launch splash on Android is white with the purple icon — even if you have Dark selected. It's drawn by the operating system before any of the app's own code runs, so it can't follow your Appearance choice.

Heads up

In the installed app, the back gesture or back button closes whatever is open on top — a sheet, a panel, a viewer. When nothing is open, it closes the app. Because there's no address bar left to explain what happened, this can feel abrupt the first time.

Installing on iPhone and iPad

iOS never offers to install anything by itself. You add it from the Share sheet.

  1. Open enchant.ee in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button — the square with an arrow coming out of the top.
  3. Scroll down the sheet and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. The name is pre-filled as Enchant.ee. Change it here if you want a different label under the icon — this is the only place it can be edited.
  5. Tap Add.

Chrome, Edge and Firefox on iOS use the same Share → Add to Home Screen path. On older versions of iOS that item may only exist in Safari; if you can't find it, open the page in Safari and follow the steps above.

What it looks like once installed

  • It opens with no address bar.
  • The page draws all the way up under the notch or Dynamic Island. The strip behind the clock is painted by the app and follows the page — white on a light screen, black on a dark one.
  • Content is kept clear of the notch and the home indicator automatically.
  • Pinch-to-zoom works everywhere; nothing caps it.

Watch out

The iPhone's clock, signal and battery glyphs stay white. On a light screen they can be hard to read. This is a known trade-off of being able to recolour that strip as you move around the app.

Installing on Android and on a computer

Android

  • Chrome — ⋮ menu → Add to Home screen (labelled Install app in some versions) → confirm. The suggested name is Enchant.ee.
  • Samsung Internet — ⋮ menu → Add page toHome screen.
  • Firefox — ⋮ menu → Add to Home screen / Install.
  • Edge — ⋮ menu → Add to phone.

Note

Chrome sometimes offers an install banner on its own. Don't wait for one here — use the menu. The icon also can't be cropped to your launcher's shape, so most Android launchers show the purple square inside a plain plate rather than filling the whole icon.

Computers

  1. Open enchant.ee in Chrome or Edge.
  2. Click the install icon at the right of the address bar — a small monitor with a downward arrow — or use ⋮ → Cast, save and shareInstall page as app in Chrome, or AppsInstall this site as an app in Edge.
  3. Confirm. The app opens in its own window.

On a Mac, Safari can do it with FileAdd to Dock. Firefox on the desktop cannot install sites.

Notifications, and what the app tells your device

Enchant.ee can send system notifications — a new follower, a comment. The control is a row labelled Push notifications, pinned along the bottom of the notifications surface, whichever one your screen gives you: the full-screen sheet on a phone, the popup under the bell on a tablet, or the notifications column on a wide screen.

  1. Open notifications.
  2. Look at the bottom of the panel. The row sits outside the scrolling list, so it's already in view — you don't have to scroll to it.
  3. Tap Enable.
  4. Accept your browser's own permission prompt.
  5. The row changes to Enabled with a double tick.
  • If you've previously refused permission, the row reads Blocked in browser settings and is not a button. Turning it back on has to be done in your browser's or phone's settings for the site.
  • On iPhone and iPad this only works once Enchant.ee has been added to the Home Screen.
  • If the row isn't there at all, notifications aren't available in that browser.

Watch out

If enabling fails, the row quietly returns to Enable with no message. There is no error to read. Check that you accepted the permission prompt, and on iPhone that you're in the installed app rather than Safari.

When something goes wrong

Something went wrong.

A full-screen message with the Enchant.ee mark, the heading Something went wrong. and the line That last step hit a snag — you're still signed in. Try again, or reload the page. This is the ordinary crash screen: one part of the app failed, not the whole thing, and your session is untouched.

  1. Tap Try again. It re-runs the screen that failed. You will not be signed out.
  2. If nothing changes, tap Reload for a full page reload.
  3. If it keeps coming back, screenshot the box headed Error detail (screenshot this) — it holds the real message and a ref code — and email it to support@enchant.ee.

Note

Right after an update, an old tab can ask for a piece of the app that no longer exists. Enchant.ee reloads once by itself to fix that, and it can't loop. If you land on this screen anyway, Try again quietly does the same thing as Reload — both work.

Something broke.

A plainer screen with the heading Something broke. and the line An unexpected error took the page down. A reload usually fixes it. You see this only if the whole shell failed, which is rare. It has one button, Reload, and no error detail to screenshot.

Watch out

That button re-renders the app rather than reloading the browser, so if the failure is consistent it can look like it does nothing. When that happens, reload from your browser or close and reopen the app. Getting here can also return you to the sign-in screen.

Note

This screen follows your device's light or dark setting, not your Theme choice — it's drawn before the app's own styling loads.

The 404 page

A framed card with the wordmark, a large 404 whose middle zero drifts gently, and the line This page wandered off the grid. Let's get you back to building something beautiful. One button: Take me home.

You reach it when:

  • The name in the address doesn't belong to anybody.
  • The extra page or shop after the name doesn't exist.
  • A post or profile link points at something that's been removed.
  • The account behind the link has been suspended or is being deleted.

Watch out

All of those look identical. The page never says why it's missing, so a typo and a closed account are indistinguishable. Check the spelling first — that's the usual cause. Browser Back works normally from here.

Errors on the landing page itself
