Your First Deployment

Deploying with Skappa takes a single click. Your app is built, optimized, and pushed to production on Vercel's global edge network. No CI/CD configuration, no terminal commands, no Docker files. This guide covers the full deployment process from first click to custom domain.

One-Click Deploy

Click the "Deploy" button in the top-right corner of the editor. Skappa runs the Next.js build process, optimizes your assets (images, fonts, JavaScript bundles), and deploys the output to Vercel. Deployment typically completes in 10–30 seconds depending on the complexity of your app. A progress indicator keeps you informed throughout the process.

Your Live URL

Once deployed, you receive a unique URL such as yourapp.vercel.app. This URL is live and accessible to anyone on the internet. Share it with friends, clients, or teammates for instant feedback. Every subsequent deploy updates the same URL automatically, so your audience always sees the latest version.

Preview on Mobile

Skappa generates responsive code by default using Tailwind CSS breakpoints. Open your live URL on any phone or tablet to verify the layout. You can also use the editor's built-in device preview toggle to simulate different screen sizes (mobile, tablet, desktop) before deploying. This is especially useful for catching layout issues early.

Deployment History

Each deployment creates a snapshot. If you deploy a change that introduces a problem, you can roll back to a previous deployment from the project settings. This gives you confidence to ship frequently without worrying about breaking your live site.

Next Steps: Custom Domains

Ready to go professional? Connect your own domain (e.g., myapp.com) in the project settings. SSL certificates are provisioned automatically — your site is HTTPS from day one. See the Custom Domains documentation for step-by-step DNS setup instructions.
