## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe">
    Tell Rocket what you want in plain language. Include the app type, key screens, features, and any design preferences. The more specific you are, the closer the first result will be to what you have in mind.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Rocket plans the architecture, writes production-ready code, and shows a live preview the moment generation finishes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Refine and launch">
    Iterate through chat, Visual edit, or Code until the app is exactly right. Click **Launch** when ready.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I edit the generated code?">
    Yes. You have several options:

    * Open [Code](/build/editor/code) to browse and edit source files directly.
    * Use [Visual edit](/build/editor/visual-edit) to click and change elements on the canvas.
    * Inject [custom code](/build/editor/custom-code) for scripts and snippets.
    * Download the full project as a `.zip` file and continue in your own editor (paid plan required).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is Redesign?">
    Redesign transforms an existing website. Provide a URL and describe the changes you want (a new visual style, updated layout, or improved conversion flow) and Rocket generates a redesigned version. See [Redesign](/build/create/commands/redesign) for details.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is there a limit on builds?">
    Build tasks consume credits based on your app's complexity and the number of screens generated. Your credit allocation depends on your subscription plan. See [Pricing](/getting-started/pricing) and [Credits](/getting-started/credits) for details.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use my own domain?">
    Yes. After launching, connect a custom domain through the **Launch** menu (paid plan required). Rocket handles SSL certificates and DNS configuration automatically. See [Custom domains](/build/launch-web/custom-domain) for the step-by-step guide.
