Where signing up starts

There is no separate sign-up page. Every button that starts you building opens the same four-step setup wizard from the landing page. The one exception is Sign in, which skips the wizard entirely.

The name field at the top

The first card of the landing page has a box that reads Enchant.ee/ followed by a field with the placeholder yourname. It tells you live whether that name is free.

1. 1Type a name. Capitals become lowercase, and anything that isn't a letter, a digit or an underscore is dropped as you type.
2. 2Pause for about 0.4 seconds. A spinner, a green tick or a red cross appears at the right of the field.
3. 3Press Enter, or click Claim yours to the right.

If the name is already taken, that button changes to Name taken and stops working until you change the name. This field is capped at 20 characters, and nothing is checked until you've typed 3.

The name field at the bottom

The dark closing card of the landing page has the same field again, with the button Get started free. It behaves slightly differently: there is no availability check on it at all, and it lets you type a hyphen that the wizard then silently deletes. Type my-name there and it arrives in the wizard as myname.

Every other button on the landing page

The Start building button on the editor card, and every button on the pricing card — including the ones on the paid columns — all open the same free setup wizard with nothing pre-filled.

The Sign in pill in the floating navbar at the top skips the wizard entirely and goes straight to the account screen.

Username rules — and the one that's permanent

A username is 3 to 20 characters long and may contain only:

• lowercase letters a–z
• digits 0–9
• the underscore _

No capitals, no spaces, no dots, no hyphens, no emoji. Anything else is removed as you type it.

Names nobody can claim

Some words are reserved because the site itself uses them. They include admin, api, www, login, signup, settings, help, about, dashboard, explore, marketplace, store, shop, pricing, terms, privacy, blog, docs, templates, profile, post, dev, health, paypal and enchantee — plus every template name, such as portfolio, gallery, influencer, creator, minimal, launch and consultant.

The tick, the cross and the spinner

Three fields check a name as you type: the one on the first landing card, Your link in the setup wizard, and the username field on the account screen. (The field on the landing page's closing card checks nothing.) They share the same icons.

Claim your link

The first setup step. The progress pill at the top reads 25%. There are two fields and you need both.

1. 1Your link — the name after Enchant.ee/. Pre-filled if you typed one on the landing page. It autofocuses, so you can start typing straight away.
2. 2Display name — placeholder What should we call you?. This is the human name shown on your page, and you can change it later in your profile.
3. 3Press the button at the bottom right. With a name typed it reads Claim Enchant.ee/yourname; with the field empty it reads Continue.

The button stays disabled until the name check comes back clear and the display name has something in it. If the name is taken, red text appears under the field: That name's taken — try another.

If you already have a page, the line Already have a page? under the fields ends in a Sign in link that jumps to the account screen. Going back from there returns you to this step, but the two fields come back empty — only a name you typed on the landing page survives the trip. Use Sign in when you mean it, not to peek.

The celebration screen

The second step isn't a step you do anything on. App icons and dots burst out from the centre, your display name appears large, and your new handle types itself in one character at a time: Enchant.ee/yourname is yours.

It leaves on its own after 3 seconds. You can cut it short three ways:

• Click or tap anywhere on it.
• Press Enter or Space.
• Press Escape.

With your device's reduce-motion setting on, the burst is skipped and the screen lasts 0.9 seconds instead.

What are you here to make?

The third step, at 55%. A list of five kinds of page, each a wide row with an icon, a description and a checkbox. It is a multi-select — you can turn on as many as apply, or none of them.

Link in bio is switched on for you. Tap it to switch it off.

A sixth row, Something else, is a free-text box with the placeholder Tell us what you want to make (optional). The row lights up as soon as you type in it.

Continue is disabled until at least one row is on or you've written something in the free-text box.

What your answer actually changes

One thing, and only one: your page's category — the grouping used by the discovery and trending rows. It is written on your first save, and only if your page doesn't already have a category, so it can never overwrite one you set yourself later.

Nothing here changes your layout, your widgets or your plan. It is one label.

Connect your socials

The last setup step, at 80%. Seventeen rows, each a brand tile and a text field. Whatever you type becomes a real social widget on the page you're about to get. The subtitle is honest about it: Add as many or as few as you like — skip the rest.

What to type

• A bare handle is enough. A leading @ is removed for you.
• Paste a full URL — anything starting http:// or https:// — and it is used exactly as pasted, ignoring the templates below.
• Empty fields, spaces, and a lone @ are all thrown away.
• There is no format checking on these fields. A typo becomes a broken link, silently.

When you're done, press Create my page. While it works it shows a spinner and is disabled, so you cannot submit twice.

Where each handle points

What Create my page actually does

Pressing Create my page does not create an account. It builds the page, in memory, and then asks you to save it. Here's the order.

1. 1Your handle and display name are remembered locally.
2. 2Because your name isn't claimed yet, there is no saved page to load — so you get a starter page built from the Portfolio template, with the template's demo photos, name and contact details stripped out. What you keep is the layout, under your own name.
3. 3Every social handle you typed becomes a real widget on that page.
4. 4You land on the account screen, in Sign up mode, framed as saving what you just made.

Your starter page is clamped to the Novice grid and starts unpublished — it is not on the discovery feed until you publish it yourself.

If your socials don't all fit

The starter page already fills the Novice grid, which is 4 columns by 8 rows on a phone. To make room, matching social widgets are replaced in place where possible, and spare filler widgets are removed from the end. If some of your links still don't fit, a warning appears:

• 2 social links didn't fit — Your grid ran out of room — free a cell in the editor to add them. The number is however many missed out.

Nothing is lost that you can't add back: open the editor, delete a widget you don't want, and add the link yourself.

Saving your page — the account screen

One card, two modes, chosen with a sliding pill labelled Sign in and Sign up. Arriving from the setup wizard it opens on Sign up; arriving any other way it opens on Sign in.

The headline tells you which situation you're in. Coming from the wizard it reads Your page is ready. Otherwise it reads Enchantée.

The username field

One field with the placeholder yourname and a fixed enchant.ee suffix, so it reads like an address. This field does cap at 20 characters — paste something longer and the extra is quietly cut off. While you're on Sign up, a line under it tells you where you stand:

The password field

On Sign up it is always there. Minimum 8 characters, enforced on the screen and again on the server; the helper under it reads At least 8 characters. The eye button on the right toggles Show password and Hide password.

Signing in: your username first, password second

In Sign in mode there is no password box to begin with. You type your username, the app looks up how that account signs in, and then does the right thing.

1. 1Type your username. The button reads Continue.
2. 2Press Enter or click it.
3. 3If the account uses a password, the password field slides in and takes focus, and the button becomes Sign in.
4. 4If the account uses Google, you are handed straight to Google — no extra tap.
5. 5If no such account exists, you see That name isn't registered yet — claim it? where claim it? flips you into Sign up.

If that lookup fails — you're offline, or the server hiccups — the password field appears anyway, so you are never stuck with nowhere to type.

The bot check

On Sign up only, a small "verify you're human" widget sits above the button. The submit button stays disabled until it passes. If the check expires or errors, it clears itself and the button disables again; if a sign-up attempt fails, the widget resets so you can retry. Sign-in and Google are not gated by it.

The button

Its label always states the outcome:

What signing up creates

You are never asked for an email address. One is generated for you, internally, and you never see it. It is deliberately not built from your username.

On success your page is snapshotted, saved to your new account, and you land on the dashboard. If you signed up without going through the wizard, there was no display-name field, so your display name starts out as your handle — change it later in Edit profile.

Under everything: By continuing you agree to our Terms & Privacy. Both words open a scrollable dialog in place rather than navigating away, each ending with a Read full page link.

Continue with Google

Under an or divider there is a full-width Continue with Google button. While it works it reads Connecting…. It works in both modes — creating a Google account is signing up.

Google's account chooser always appears, even if you're already signed in to Google, so you can pick which account to use.

Your typed name, your social handles and your goal answers are carried across the trip to Google and back, so nothing you did in the wizard is lost. Starting a fresh Google sign-up that isn't saving a built page deliberately wipes any leftovers first, so a second person on a shared device can't inherit the first person's handles.

While the app works out who you are, the whole screen is replaced by the Enchant.ee mark, which zooms out to reveal the app. It always lifts within 6 seconds, even if something has gone wrong behind it.

The name-conflict dialog

One Google account owns exactly one Enchant.ee name, always. If you build a page under one name and then sign in with a Google account that already owns a different name, a dialog appears:

• Title — This Google account is already connected to @othername
• Body — The page you just built won't be saved to a different name.

The other things that can happen on the way back

• Everything worked → your page loads and you land on the dashboard. If the app was expecting a different name, a neutral note says This Google account is connected to @yourname.
• Someone claimed your name in the meantime → @yourname is already taken — pick another name, and you're put back into the setup wizard. Your social handles are held, so finishing again rebuilds the same page under a new name.
• Something transient failed → Couldn't claim your name — please try again, and you're returned to the account screen. Signing in with Google again retries the claim. You are deliberately never told to pick a different name here, because claims are permanent and the name may still be yours to take.

If you can't get back in

Read this before you choose a password. It is the one thing in this chapter that can cost you your account.

The reason is the sign-up flow. You are never asked for an email address, and the one your account carries internally is a generated placeholder you never see and cannot read. There is no mailbox for a reset link to arrive in. There is also no change-password screen in the app.

If your account uses Google

1. 1On the account screen, in Sign in mode, type your username and press Continue.
2. 2You are handed straight to Google without being asked for a password.
3. 3Recovery is Google's, not ours — recover the Google account there, then come back and sign in.

If your account uses a password and you've forgotten it

There is no self-serve way back in. Not a hidden URL, not a support form inside the app. Your only remaining move is to email support@enchant.ee and explain. This manual will not promise you that support can reset it — only that this is the address to write to.

Two other things that block sign-in

• Account suspended — the account has been suspended. It is blocked on every sign-in method, including Google.
• Account scheduled for deletion — you deleted this account yourself and it is still inside its 30-day window. Same block, same message.

What a new account starts with

Every account begins on the free plan Novice. These limits apply from the first minute:

• 3 pages — your main one plus two more.
• A 4 × 8 grid on a phone, 8 × 4 on a desktop.
• 8 links across the page.
• 500 MB of storage, with a 25 MB ceiling on any one upload.
• Video up to 720p and 30 seconds.

Your page is the Portfolio layout under your own name, clamped to that grid, with your onboarding socials applied over it — and it starts unpublished, so it stays off the discovery feed until you publish it. Plans and limits has the full comparison.

You also get 5 welcome AI credits, once, on top of the Novice plan's 3 credits a month. The welcome five are granted the first time you use an AI feature, not at signup, so a brand-new account shows none until you touch one.

The setting-up bar

While you're new, a slim progress bar appears in the pages area of your dashboard Home. The left says Setting up yourname and the right says how far along you are — 50% set up at the halfway mark. It counts four things, 25% each:

1. 1Signing up — always counted.
2. 2Customising — you edited the page, or added a sub-page.
3. 3Previewing — you opened the preview screen.
4. 4Publishing — a save succeeded, or you switched your main page to published.

It shows or hides itself once, when the dashboard opens — so it doesn't vanish under you mid-session. Once it has reached 100%, the next time you open the dashboard it is gone for good. There is no checklist and no confetti — just the bar.

Logging out and switching accounts

All three live under Account on the dashboard, and they do not behave the same.

Keyboard, back and reduced motion

Going Back inside the wizard never destroys anything you typed. From the socials step you land on the goal step; from the goal step you land back on Claim your link — skipping the celebration, which would only throw you forward again.

Screen readers announce the availability status and the sign-up hint line as they change. In the setup wizard and on the account screen, keyboard focus on buttons and links shows a thick purple ring.

When something goes wrong

Every message this flow can actually show you, and what to do about it.

If none of that fits, email support@enchant.ee.
