# Launch your website

Convella turns your YouTube channel into a website, complete with articles generated from your videos. Here's how to get started.

**1. Connect your YouTube channel**

When you sign up, you'll connect your YouTube channel. Convella automatically pulls in your channel information and builds a website tailored to your content.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Your website is typically ready in **2–3 minutes**. We'll also start turning **10–15 of your existing videos** into articles.

**2. Review your website**

Open the [Website page](https://convella.com/site) to review your site. Once your website and initial articles are ready, you can launch whenever you're happy with everything.

Before launching, we recommend:

* **[Customize your design](https://help.convella.com/website/design/theme.md)** — Choose a theme and personalize your website's appearance.
* **[Review your articles](https://help.convella.com/articles/editing-articles.md)** — Check your generated articles and adjust your article generation settings if needed.
* **[Review your pages](https://help.convella.com/website/pages.md)** — Update your website's pages and content.

**3. Launch your website**

When you're happy with your website, you're ready to go live!

Choose a plan using **Launch your website** at the bottom of the sidebar. After upgrading, if your website is still private or offline, this widget changes to **Ready to go live?**. Click **Go live** to open the launch flow and make your website public.

You can also [connect a custom domain](https://help.convella.com/website/domain.md) to give your website its own address.
