📄 Description

Motivation

Provide a first-class “Don’t have a website” flow that generates an AI-driven starter site from minimal user input and keeps the experience black-box for non-technical users.
Produce a reproducible, template-driven static site pipeline (Hugo) that can be previewed in onboarding and deployed automatically to GitHub + Netlify.
Ensure generated sites are usable for SEO and brand identity by adding page metadata, JSON-LD for shop templates, and per-user safe CSS theming via LLM tokens.
Reuse existing Exa research and LLM text-gen capabilities to enrich content and keep the system subscription-aware and cost-tracked.

Description

Backend: added LLM intake and schema in services/onboarding/website_intake_service.py to produce site_brief + exa_query_map, and services/onboarding/website_style_service.py to request safe design tokens and render scoped CSS (render_css).
Preview & automation: implemented local preview generation in services/website_automation_service.py that writes HTML/CSS to generated_sites/ with meta tags, Open Graph/Twitter, canonical URL logic, and shop ItemList JSON-LD; added GitHub + Netlify orchestration in api/onboarding_utils/website_automation_service.py to create repos from templates, commit Hugo config.toml and content/ pages, inject static/custom.css, and call Netlify POST /sites.
Persistence & wiring: added user_websites DB migration (backend/database/migrations/add_user_websites_table.sql), SQLAlchemy model (backend/models/user_website.py), Pydantic request/response (backend/models/user_website_request.py), service (backend/services/user_website_service.py), migration runner (backend/scripts/run_user_websites_migration.py), and registered the model in services/database.py so tables are created during initialization.
API & endpoints: exposed preview and deploy handlers in backend/api/onboarding_utils/endpoints_config_data.py (generate_website_preview and deploy_website) and wired routes into onboarding (manager and endpoints), and extended the onboarding summary to expose preview_url and live_url via OnboardingSummaryService.
Frontend: expanded Step 2 intake UI to website-focused fields and caching in BusinessDescriptionStep.tsx, added generateWebsitePreview and deployWebsite calls in frontend/src/api/onboarding.ts, and added a preview iframe + deploy action in FinalStep.tsx to surface preview HTML and trigger deployment.
Exa integration: extended ExaService with search_with_contents(...) aligned to Exa /search OpenAPI, including subscription preflight validation and usage tracking; intake schema produces exa_query_map to be executed in future enrichment steps.
SEO & assets: added programmatic meta description generation, canonical URL preference for Netlify domains, Open Graph/Twitter tags, and shop ItemList/Product JSON-LD; product asset handling and simple image references are included in preview/markdown outputs.
Documentation: added a comprehensive developer SSOT at docs/Onboarding/WEBSITE_MAKER_IMPLEMENTATION.md describing flow, files, environment variables, limitations, and next steps.
