Tier: Bigger bet · Order: 31 of 35 · Effort: M · Impact: high

What

A 5-question onboarding (business, services, area, tone, palette preview) is saved with the site, and any section can be regenerated in one click from those answers, with undo.

Why

Users criticise generic AI copy and whole-site rerolls; Durable's per-section Regenerate and Squarespace's palette preview are the praised patterns. Sitesmith already does section generation, so the gap is the saved profile and the one-click action.

Today

Sitesmith works prompt-by-prompt with no stored business profile.

Design notes

Profile lives in project.json; “try a different look” becomes a token swap, not a regeneration.

Depends on

  • #44 Site colors and fonts actually restyle the site
  • #32 One undo step per edit, not per keystroke

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