Quick Start: Your First App in Minutes
Building a web application with Manus is designed to be a fast and intuitive process. This guide provides the essential steps to get your first project up and running.1. Initiate Your Project
Start by telling Manus what you want to build in plain English. The more descriptive you are, the better the initial result will be. For example:“Build me a modern landing page for a new SaaS product. It should have a hero section with a signup button, a features section, a pricing table, and a footer.”
2. Review and Refine the Plan
Mantus will analyze your request and present a development plan. This plan outlines the structure, features, and technologies it intends to use. At this stage, you can provide feedback or ask for adjustments before the build process begins.3. Watch Manus Build
Once you approve the plan, Manus gets to work. You can watch in real-time as it scaffolds the project, writes the code for both the frontend and backend, and configures all the necessary components. A live, interactive preview of your application is available from the very beginning.4. Iterate with Natural Language
With the live preview, you can instantly see the results of your requests. If you want to make changes, you don’t need to write code. Simply describe what you want to modify:“Change the color of the signup button to a vibrant blue.”Or, for more structural changes:
“Add a testimonial section between the features and pricing sections.”Manus will understand your instructions and update the application instantly. This conversational approach makes iteration incredibly fast and allows you to focus on the creative aspects of your project.
