Advanced Planner: detailed website planning before generation

Advanced Planner is the more detailed website planning flow in Centuply.

It helps you provide more information about your business, audience, pages, services, tone, and goals before AI generation starts.

When to use Advanced Planner

Use Advanced Planner when:

  • you want more control before generation,
  • you have many services,
  • you want a specific page structure,
  • you want to define the brand more clearly,
  • you have a clear target audience,
  • you want more professional planning,
  • you do not want AI to guess too much,
  • you are creating a website for a more complex business.

Difference from Simple Mode

Simple Mode is fast and easy.

Advanced Planner is more detailed.

In Advanced Planner, you can provide more details, such as:

  • website goals,
  • key pages,
  • target audience,
  • communication tone,
  • services,
  • locations,
  • CTAs,
  • features,
  • content,
  • SEO direction.

If you want a quick start, use Simple Mode. If you want more careful planning, use Advanced Planner.

Step 1 — Open Advanced Planner

Open the Centuply app and select Create website or New site.

If creation options appear, choose Advanced Planner or Advanced setup.

Step 2 — Describe the business

Write a clear business description.

Try to answer:

  • what the business does,
  • which services it offers,
  • who it serves,
  • which area it serves,
  • what makes it different,
  • what main message you want to communicate.

Example:

We are a premium hair salon in Piraeus offering haircuts, color, hair treatments, and bridal styling, with a focus on personal service and modern aesthetics.

Step 3 — Define website goals

Goals help AI create a better structure.

Goal examples:

  • generate new leads,
  • increase bookings,
  • present services,
  • show trust,
  • strengthen local SEO,
  • drive phone calls,
  • promote a specific service,
  • improve brand image.

You can have more than one goal, but there should be one main goal.

Step 4 — Define target audience

Describe who the website is for.

Examples:

  • new local customers,
  • professionals,
  • families,
  • women aged 25-55,
  • small businesses,
  • tourists,
  • patients,
  • parents,
  • customers looking for a premium service.

The target audience affects tone, CTAs, and website structure.

Step 5 — Add services in detail

In Advanced Planner, you can describe services in more detail.

For each service, write:

  • name,
  • short description,
  • who it is for,
  • key benefits,
  • whether it needs booking or a form,
  • any special information.

Example:

Hair color: professional color service with consultation, shade selection, and personalization based on the customer's style.

Step 6 — Suggest pages

If you know which pages you want, add them.

Common pages:

  • Home,
  • About,
  • Services,
  • Contact,
  • Gallery,
  • Pricing,
  • Booking,
  • Blog,
  • FAQ,
  • Locations,
  • Testimonials.

Do not add pages without a reason. Keep the structure clean and useful.

Step 7 — Choose tone and brand direction

Tone helps AI write better copy and suggest the right presentation.

Tone examples:

  • premium,
  • minimal,
  • friendly,
  • professional,
  • modern,
  • serious,
  • warm,
  • dynamic,
  • elegant,
  • local and human.

Also write what you do not want.

Example:

I want a premium and clean tone, not too playful and not cheap advertising language.

Step 8 — Add CTA preferences

CTAs are the actions you want visitors to take.

Examples:

  • Book an appointment,
  • Request a quote,
  • Contact us,
  • View services,
  • Call now,
  • Book a free consultation,
  • Start now.

Advanced Planner helps place CTAs in the right parts of the website.

Step 9 — Add features

Choose the features the website needs.

Examples:

  • forms,
  • bookings,
  • chatbot,
  • blog,
  • gallery,
  • testimonials,
  • offers,
  • multilingual content,
  • local SEO,
  • newsletter,
  • FAQ,
  • contact map.

Do not add features you will not use. A clean website is often more effective.

Step 10 — Review the planning summary

Before continuing, review the summary.

Make sure:

  • the business is described correctly,
  • services are correct,
  • pages make sense,
  • the goal is clear,
  • target audience is correct,
  • tone fits,
  • CTAs are useful,
  • there are no mistakes in contact details.

Step 11 — Continue to payment and generation

When the planning is correct, continue to the next step.

Depending on the flow, you may go through payment before generation starts.

After confirmation, Centuply uses the planning to create the initial website draft.

Step 12 — Review the generated website

When the site is generated, check whether it followed the planning.

Review:

  • whether pages are correct,
  • whether services appear well,
  • whether the tone fits,
  • whether CTAs are correct,
  • whether key information is missing,
  • whether the website has a good initial structure.

Then you can continue in the editor for detailed changes.

Best practices

  • Provide specific information.
  • Avoid very generic descriptions.
  • Write what you want and what you do not want.
  • Keep one clear main goal.
  • Do not add too many unnecessary pages.
  • Review the planning summary before continuing.
  • Use the editor after generation for final improvements.
