Creating a Codeless Project

Overview

A Codeless project is a full Drupal website you manage from the FlexSite dashboard — no Git required. The New Project wizard collects your site name, starter template, and theme, then FlexSite provisions servers and installs Drupal for you.

Key concepts

  • Drupal CMS (Codeless) — the tile you pick in the wizard for dashboard-driven hosting.
  • Site template — starter content and configuration (Starter, Byte, Haven, or marketplace packs).
  • Theme — visual design applied at creation; you can change later under Themes.
  • Provisioning — automated setup after Create Project; see Launch and Provisioning.

Prerequisites

  • Org Member with permission to create projects.
  • Enough credits on Billing for project + default environment.

Steps

  1. From Projects, click New Project.
  2. Select FlexProject Hosting (not Atom).
  3. Choose Drupal CMS with category Codeless.
  4. Enter project title and URL slug your team will recognize.
  5. On the template step, pick:

- Starter — general marketing site (most common).

- Byte — SaaS / product marketing layouts.

- Haven — community or portal-style starter.

- Marketplace pack — only if you need a specific industry recipe (may cost credits).

  1. On the theme step, keep the bundled theme or browse Theme Marketplace previews.
  2. Click Create Project and watch Overview until status is ready.

After provisioning

  1. Click Quick Login to meet Drupal admin.
  2. Open Environments if you plan separate staging and production copies.
  3. Review Billing → Usage for creation charges.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing FlexLab tile by accident — you will get Git workflows you may not need.
  • Starting on TRIAL without checking credits for template + theme charges.
