Tier: Quick win · Order: 14 of 35 · Effort: S · Impact: med

What

An empty page shows Choose a template / Add a section / Generate with Sitesmith. Empty containers show an inline + to add a block.

Why

Every competitor's onboarding avoids the blank canvas. Ours shows passive text (Canvas.tsx:109-131).

Today

“Drag blocks from the left panel” hint.

Depends on

None

From the 2026-10-07 site-builder research (competitor review, user sentiment, code audit, Fable prioritization). Roadmap: https://claude.ai/artifact/QpQcSCk21z6SN7LPSm8tKE · id empty-state-actions
