> What uxdeck is, what you can make with it, and where to start in this Guide.

uxdeck is a design canvas that runs in your browser. You draw screens, make them responsive with auto layout and breakpoints, link them into a prototype, add motion and working Blocks, and publish the result as a real website. A UX coach checks your work as you go, and an agent can draw or fix screens for you.

Everything you make is saved to your uxdeck account as you work, so your files are there on any computer or phone you sign in on, and the people you share them with see your changes live.

## Start here

1. **Sign in** with Google, GitHub, or a link sent to your email. There is no password to remember. Read [Sign in and your account](/guide/sign-in).
2. **Make a file** from [Home](/guide/home): **New file** for an empty deck, or describe a screen in the box at the top of Home to have the agent draw a first screen from a sentence.
3. **Find your way around** the [editor](/guide/editor): the canvas, the panels, the toolbar.
4. **Build your first screen** step by step in [Your first screen](/guide/first-screen).

If you remember only one shortcut, make it <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>K</kbd>: [Quick actions](/guide/quick-actions) finds any command, layer or page by typing.

## What you can do

- **Design:** frames, shapes, the pen, text with real type settings, fills, gradients, pictures and video. Read [Draw and edit](/guide/pages-frames-sections).
- **Lay out:** [auto layout](/guide/auto-layout), [breakpoints](/guide/breakpoints), [components and variants](/guide/components-and-variants), [variables and modes](/guide/variables).
- **Prototype:** link screens, add interactions and overlays, and play them in [Preview](/guide/link-and-preview) or on a phone.
- **Move:** things that [appear on scroll](/guide/appear-on-scroll) or [change while scrolling](/guide/while-scrolling), [effects](/guide/effects-library) on pictures and text.
- **Add Blocks:** carousels, accordions, notices and more that work on your site. Read [Add and style Blocks](/guide/blocks).
- **Work together:** [share a file](/guide/share), see each other's cursors, [comment](/guide/comments) and talk in a [voice call](/guide/voice).
- **Get feedback:** the [UX coach](/guide/coach) measures contrast, tap targets, text size and more, and fixes many of them in one click. The [agent](/guide/agent) draws and edits on request.
- **Ship:** [publish a site](/guide/publish) at your own uxdeck.site address or [your own domain](/guide/domain), or [export the code](/guide/export).
- **Bring work in:** [import a Figma file](/guide/import-figma).

## Free and Pro

You can start on **Free**, which includes 3 files of your own, one published site, the coach's measured rules and a monthly allowance of agent credits. **Pro** removes the file limit and adds more sites, your own domains, code export, voice calls and more. Read [Free and Pro](/guide/plans) for the full list.

## Where to get help

- **This Guide.** Search it with <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>K</kbd> or <kbd>/</kbd> on any Guide page.
- **In the app:** **Help** > **Keyboard shortcuts** in the **Deck** menu, and **Reading** in the Review tab for UX articles and a glossary.
- **Something wrong?** Read [Messages and what to do](/guide/messages) and [Get help](/guide/get-help).

## Catches

- **uxdeck needs a modern browser.** It is made for a computer with a keyboard and a pointer. Read [Browsers and devices](/guide/browsers).
- **On a phone you view, comment and play prototypes,** but the editor needs a wider screen. Read [uxdeck on your phone](/guide/phone).
- **Losing the connection is fine.** You can keep working on an open file offline, and your edits are sent when you are back. Read [Working offline](/guide/offline).
