Microsites

Microsites let you build and share standalone web pages directly from Vū AI — a quick way to package content into a shareable link without leaving Vū Studio. You describe what you want in plain language, Vū AI generates the page, and it is saved to your library as a web asset you can preview, refine, and share.

A microsite comes in one of three formats:

Format	Best for
Page (default)	A complete, standalone single-page site — landing pages, one-pagers, and interactive presentations.
Whitepaper	Long-form content — white papers, reports, and briefs. A page styled as a document: cover block, table of contents, sections, and images.
Dashboard	A data-style layout rendered with the dashboard renderer.

Microsites are private by default. The link only works for you until you publish it (see Sharing a Microsite).

Creating a Microsite

Open Vū AI and ask it to create a microsite, describing what you want it to contain. The assistant assembles the page for you and saves it so you can revisit and update it later.

To create one:

1. Open Vū AI.
2. Describe the microsite you want — for example, "Create a landing page for our spring product launch with a hero section, three feature cards, and a contact form," or "Make a one-page whitepaper summarizing this report."
3. Vū AI generates the microsite and adds it to your library as a web asset. It opens in the microsite sidebar so you can review it.

Ground it in your own material

If you give Vū AI substantial source content to work from — an attached document, a pasted brief, or an existing asset — it will base the microsite on that material rather than inventing content. Paste or attach what you have before asking it to build the page.

White papers

Ask for a white paper, report, or long-form brief and Vū AI builds it as a regular microsite styled as a white paper, rather than as a plain text document. Because it is an ordinary page underneath, it gets everything a page gets:

• Full page editing — the element picker, direct text editing, image and video swapping, and the Code view, all in the microsite sidebar.
• Real images — library assets and stock photography, placed in the layout (see Embedding your own images and video).
• An editable table of contents — a sticky contents bar written as part of the page, so you can rename, reorder, or remove entries like any other content.
• Animation — calm by default (subtle reveals as you scroll). Ask for a livelier treatment if you want one, and ask for a static page if you want none.

The layout follows a consistent shape — a cover, an executive summary, numbered sections, and a conclusion — and pulls its facts from the material you provide. Paste or attach your source content before asking, exactly as for any other microsite.

note

White papers created before this change keep rendering and editing the way they always have. Existing pages are not converted, and their links stay the same.

Embedding your own images and video

Microsites can embed images and video from your Vū Studio library instead of using generic placeholders. Reference the media you want in your request (for example, attach or pin the assets, or ask Vū AI to find them), and it will place them in the page. Only image and video assets can be embedded; if a suitable asset is not available, Vū AI uses a neutral placeholder so the layout stays intact.

Built-in stock imagery

When you have nothing in your library that fits the topic, Vū AI can pull built-in stock photography into the page as a starting point, so a new microsite arrives with real imagery instead of grey boxes. It is used for generic or atmospheric subject matter — cityscapes, textures, abstract backdrops, anonymous people in an office. It is never used to stand in for something of yours: your logo, your product, your team, your venue. For those, point Vū AI at your own assets.

You stay in control of which source is used:

• "Use my own photos" — Vū AI uses library assets only.
• "Use stock images" or "you pick the photos" — Vū AI chooses stock imagery.
• "No stock photos" — Vū AI leaves neutral placeholders you can fill later.

A single page can mix both — your logo in the header, a stock photo behind it.

Swapping a stock image. In Edit mode, select the image and use the Swap control. The picker offers two sources: My Library for your own assets and Unsplash for other stock photos. You can also ask Vū AI to swap it ("replace the hero image with the one I attached"). Swaps are buffered like any other manual edit and are written when you select Save.

Photographer credit for stock images is added to the published page automatically as a single credits line. It updates itself: swap a stock photo for one of your own assets and its credit disappears; remove the last stock photo and the line goes away entirely. You never need to write an attribution yourself.

Uploading HTML files

Already have a finished web page? Upload the .html file and Vū Studio hosts it as a microsite instead of storing it as a file. The page keeps its own markup, styling, and scripts — nothing is regenerated — and it gains everything a generated microsite has: a shareable link, version history, AI and manual editing, publishing, and casting to a display.

There are two ways to bring one in:

• From the Microsites gallery — at one.vu.studio/ai/microsites. Click the Vū Studio icon to go Home → click Vū AI → click Microsites, then click Import an HTML file below the prompt box and pick your file. The imported page opens straight in the editor so you can review it.
• From the Asset Library — at one.vu.studio/library. Click the Vū Studio icon to go Home → click Asset Library, click the Add Media button (➕ icon) → Upload files, and drop the .html file in. It is imported as a microsite and lands in your library rather than going through media processing.

Either way, the first version is recorded as Imported from <filename> in the microsite's version history, so you can always get back to the file exactly as you uploaded it.

What is accepted

Condition	Result
A single .html or .htm file, up to 5 MB	Imported
References to images hosted over https://	Imported — external images load normally
References to files next to the original page (./style.css, ./app.js)	Imported, with a warning naming what is missing
References over http://	Imported, with a mixed-content warning — those files are blocked once the page is served securely
An empty file, a file over 5 MB, or a file that is not HTML	Not imported — the message tells you which

Single file only. The importer takes one self-contained page: only the file you pick is uploaded, so anything it links to alongside it — a separate stylesheet, script, font, or image file — does not come with it. The page still imports and renders, minus those pieces, and Vū Studio names the first few missing references so you know what to inline. Put your CSS and JavaScript inside the file, and either host images at an https:// URL or add them afterwards in the editor.

Sharing an imported page. Uploaded HTML is treated as untrusted content, so when someone other than you opens it — through a share link, a published link, or a shared folder — the page runs in a restricted sandbox. Two consequences worth knowing: a page that saves state in the browser (cookies or local storage) will not be able to do so for those viewers, and a collaborator cannot use the visual Edit mode on your imported page, though editing it through Vū AI still works. Your own view of the page is unrestricted.

Reviewing in the sidebar

The microsite sidebar has three views:

• Preview — a live view of the current version of the page.
• Edit — a WYSIWYG mode for making manual adjustments yourself (see Updating a Microsite).
• Code — the raw HTML.

Sharing a Microsite

Once a microsite is ready, share its link with anyone who needs it. Recipients can open the microsite in any browser — no Vū Studio account required.

Because microsites are private by default, you must publish one before its link will work for other people. Until you publish, the link opens only for you and returns a "not found" page for anyone else.

You can publish in either of two ways:

• Ask Vū AI — tell it to publish or share the microsite (for example, "Publish this and give me the link"). Vū AI makes it public and returns the shareable URL.
• Use the sidebar — select the Share / publish action in the microsite sidebar to open the publish dialog, then publish and copy the public link.

Published microsites are served from a stable public link, and the link stays the same across publish and unpublish cycles.

Making a microsite private again

To stop sharing, unpublish the microsite — ask Vū AI to make it private again, or use the sidebar. Unpublishing takes down the public link for everyone.

caution

Unpublishing breaks any link you have already shared. Anyone you sent the link to will no longer be able to open the microsite.

Updating a Microsite

Ask Vū AI to make changes to an existing microsite at any time — updating text, swapping content, or adjusting layout. When you request a change, Vū AI can review the microsite's current content first, so edits build on what's already there and update only the parts you asked about. Your changes are saved to the same microsite, so the shared link always reflects the latest version.

You have two ways to update a microsite: through Vū AI, or by editing it yourself in the sidebar.

Updating with Vū AI

Ask Vū AI to edit the microsite you are working with — for example, "Make the headline shorter," "Swap the hero image for the one I just attached," or "Add a pricing section below the features." Vū AI applies the change in place and saves a new version. Because it edits the existing microsite rather than creating a new one, your link and version history are preserved.

Editing it yourself (Edit mode)

Open Edit in the microsite sidebar to make manual adjustments without going through the chat. Edit mode is available for page-format microsites, including white papers and imported HTML pages (dashboards use the dashboard renderer instead, and white papers created before the change edit as markdown in the Code view). It offers three kinds of change:

1. Text — text elements on the page become directly editable. Click into any text and type.
2. Image / video swap — click a media element (or its Swap control) to pick a replacement from your library. You can swap an image for a video or vice versa; the surrounding layout is preserved.
3. Section delete / reorder — each section has corner controls to move up (▲), move down (▼), and delete (✕).

All manual edits are buffered as you work — nothing saves per action, and the editor shows Unsaved changes until you save. Select Save to write every change at once. Each save appends a new version.

note

In Edit mode the preview renders statically without page animations so that your edits stay accurate. Any motion effects return in the normal Preview and on the published page.

Version history

A microsite records a new version every time valid page changes are saved, so the history is a complete record of how the page got to where it is. That covers every way a page changes:

• an edit you asked Vū AI to make;
• a manual Save in Edit mode (all buffered text, swap, and section changes are written as one version);
• a save from the Code view;
• restoring an earlier version — the restored content is added as a new version at the top of the history rather than rewinding it, so nothing is ever lost and you can roll a rollback forward again.

Versions are numbered in order (v1, v2, …) and labelled with what produced them — for example Initial version, the instruction behind an AI edit, or Restored: …. Step between them with the previous/next controls in the sidebar and restore any one of them. The shared link always serves the current version.
