Website Building
Build a business and portfolio website
Kliv is an AI app builder for custom websites. Describe your work, case studies, galleries, price guide, and inquiry pipeline, and it builds a site on your own domain.
Just enter your idea into the text box and AI will build it for you
What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a theme library or a drag-and-drop page tool — it’s an AI that builds software for you.
You describe the site you need in your own words, and Kliv builds it: the pages, the records behind them, the forms, the admin screens, and the publishing flow. What you get is a real website that’s yours, on your own domain, and you can keep changing it by asking for changes. It isn’t a template you fill in.
On this page, that site is a business and portfolio website. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one example.
Why build your own portfolio site?
A good business site does more than display images. A restoration carpentry studio needs to show what happened on each project: the building, the damage, the repair, the photos, the client quote, and the kind of work the next customer is trying to understand.
Kliv builds the site from real records — projects, photographs, testimonials, price ranges, and inquiries. A case-study page renders from a project record, so adding the next commission means adding the project, not rebuilding the page. When a visitor gets in touch, the inquiry becomes a lead you can track.
What the site knows
Behind the pages, a small set of records does the work.
Projects and case studies
Each project is a record with the building, brief, time on site, and photographs in sequence. The case-study page is generated from that record.
The photo archive
Full-resolution originals live in the file store, private by default. Galleries serve optimized public copies, while outtakes stay private unless you publish them.
Inquiries and the pipeline
The contact form writes a lead record with status, notes, and next step, so a serious inquiry is not just another email.
The price guide
Ranges for sash restoration, staircase rebuilds, and bespoke joinery are editable in place, versioned in your database, and shown where a serious client looks.
Testimonials attached to work
Each reference can be tied to the project it describes, so the quote sits beside the work rather than on a separate wall of praise.
The studio’s agent
An agent can answer visitors from your published case studies. A question such as “Have you worked on Georgian sashes?” returns your actual projects, and the conversation lands in your database.
An example: Jonah’s restoration carpentry studio
Here’s how one studio might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own services, projects, photos, pricing, and inquiry process.
He turns projects into case studies
Jonah adds a staircase restoration with the building age, the brief, the months on site, and before-and-after photos. The public case-study page is built from that record.
His photo archive stays organized
Full-resolution images and mid-job outtakes stay private unless Jonah marks them public. The gallery uses optimized copies, so the site stays fast.
Visitors see useful price ranges
A serious visitor can read ranges for sash restoration, staircase rebuilds, and bespoke joinery before sending an inquiry.
Inquiries become a pipeline
A church-vestry inquiry arrives with project type, timeline, budget range, and notes. It becomes a lead with a next step instead of a loose email.
Search can read the work
Each project page is prerendered, so search engines and AI assistants can read the case study as content, not an empty app shell.
Describe what you want to build
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Say what you do, what records the site needs, and how inquiries should work. Here are three to build on:
Carpentry studio site
Case studies, galleries, a price guide, and leads.
“Build a portfolio website for my two-person restoration carpentry studio. Create a case-study page for each project, before-and-after galleries, a price guide with ranges for sash restoration, staircase rebuilds, and bespoke joinery, and an inquiry pipeline with status, notes, and next step.”
Consulting engineer profile
Credentials, publications, and project records.
“Build a business website for my structural engineering consultancy. Include a project archive, publications, accreditations, a services page, and an inquiry form that asks for building type, location, timeline, and whether drawings already exist.”
Landscape design portfolio
Seasonal galleries and site-visit requests.
“Build a portfolio site for my landscape design practice. Organize each garden by season, add a design-philosophy page, and create a site-visit request form with preferred dates, garden size, budget range, and project goals.”
How it comes together
Pages are readable to search engines. The site is published on your own domain, with prerendered pages served to crawlers, including AI crawlers. A per-page SEO audit can show which project pages need work.
Analytics can answer practical questions. Define events such as “requested a price guide” or “opened the staircase case study,” and see which projects lead to inquiries.
You can edit it directly. Visual edits let you click text or images and change them. Nothing reaches visitors until you publish. The site’s source syncs to your own Git repository, and your records and photographs can export.
When the site starts feeding a real pipeline, the rest of the service business — proposals, projects, invoicing, and a client portal — is covered on the services solutions page.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI that builds custom web apps and websites from a description. For a portfolio site, that can mean pages, project records, galleries, inquiry forms, admin screens, and publishing.
Do I get a real website, or a template?
A real website. Kliv builds the pages and the records behind them for your business. It is not a theme you fill in.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can ask for changes in plain words, such as adding a new service, changing a case-study layout, or updating the inquiry form.
Will search engines and AI assistants see my work?
Yes. Kliv serves prerendered pages to crawlers and generates a sitemap, so your case studies are readable as content.
Can I change the site myself without breaking it?
Yes. Visual edits are staged until you publish, so you can change text and images before visitors see the update.
Where do inquiries go?
Into your database as lead records with status, notes, and next step. You can also receive email notifications on your own templates.
Do I own the site and content?
Your photos and records are in your database, the app source syncs to your own Git repository, and you can export your content.
What does hosting involve?
Nothing separate. The site is live on Kliv when you build it, with HTTPS, and can run on your own domain once you connect it.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. The site can run on your own domain.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The code syncs to your own Git repository, so leaving is a git pull rather than a rebuild.
Do I need a separate CMS?
No. The site is its own admin. You edit projects, photos, price ranges, testimonials, and page text while signed in.
Can the site include an AI assistant?
Yes, if you want one. It can answer from the published case studies and records you provide, and conversations can be saved in your database.
