Helm Design
Your website, designed and built by your AI team.

What Helm Design is.
Helm Design is the website studio inside Axiom Helm. You give a short brief about your business. Forge prepares three distinct design directions, you pick one, and the site is built as editable pages in your workspace.
Every change becomes a version. You can name a version, compare, roll the draft back, and after publishing, roll the live site back to an earlier release. A design quality check runs before publishing, so a page that fails it is held back instead of going live.
Hosting is on a free address under axiomhelm.site once the hosting platform is verified for your workspace. Custom domains connect through Domains. Some pieces, like automatic SSL status for custom domains, are still rolling out and are labelled that way below.
- Exactly three directions are prepared per request.
- A page that fails the design quality check is not published.
- Live hosting requires the platform hosting check to pass for your workspace.
- SSL confirmation for custom domains is rolling out. Form-to-CRM capture and built-in site analytics are not available.

1. Describe Write a brief: what you sell, who buys it, the feel you want. You can see an estimate before directions are prepared.
2. Choose a direction Forge prepares exactly three distinct art directions as hero previews. Nothing is built or published until you pick one.
3. Build Your choice becomes a site with pages, blocks, theme and page-level SEO fields you can edit.
4. Edit and preview Ask for changes or edit pages directly. Preview any page, share draft links, leave design comments and request a review.
5. PublishRolling out Publishing runs a design quality check first. The site goes live on your free axiomhelm.site address when hosting is verified.
6. Roll back Restore the draft to an earlier version, or roll the live site back to a previous published release.
7. Name versions Give important versions a name so you can find and restore them later.
