Getting started
Quick start: WordPress
From a new account to the first change on your WordPress site, in five steps and about ten minutes.
Before you start
You need a WordPress site where you can install plugins, and an e-mail address. Use a staging copy of the site if you have one: everything works the same there.
Five steps
- Create the account. Go to rekhu.com, give your company name, your e-mail and a password, and confirm with the code we mail you. The account is your company; colleagues join it later under Team.
- Make a project for the site. In the account, open Projects → New project → WordPress site and give it a name. The project's Connection tab shows its key once: copy it.
- Install the plugin. Download Rekhu Builder from the same tab, then in WordPress go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, install and activate it. Paste the key in its setup screen. From then on the plugin updates itself.
- Tell Rekhu about the site. On the project's Knowledge & skills tab, write what Rekhu should always know: who the site is for, the tone of its texts, what never to change. Or press Scan this site in the chat, and Rekhu writes a first profile itself.
- Ask for a change. Open the Chat tab and say what you want, for example:
Make a new page "Our team" in the design of the About page, with a short text for each of the four people on the Contact page.
New pages are made as drafts. Open the draft from the chat, and publish it when it is right.
What happens when you change a live page
Before Rekhu changes a page your visitors see, it asks you first, saves the page as it is, and afterwards opens the live page to check it. Every change is listed on the project's Activity tab with an undo. See Changes to live pages.
Next
- Projects and chats: how a project, its chats and its knowledge fit together.
- Knowledge and skills: teach Rekhu your way of working once, for every site.
