Create your first workspace
Create a workspace and choose a Workspace Username. A workspace is the top-level home for your clients, projects, content, and team.
Your workspace is the home for your clients, projects, content, and team. When you create your account, Acrosite guides you through making your first workspace. This guide explains each field and how to choose a good Workspace Username.
Who this is for
Anyone creating a new Acrosite account, or an existing owner creating an additional workspace.
Before you start
- You have signed up and verified your email.
- You know what you want to call the workspace (your company, brand, or agency name works well).
Create the workspace
After you sign up, Acrosite takes you to Set Up Your Workspace. First choose a plan and billing period, then fill in:
- Workspace Name — a human-friendly name, such as your company or agency name.
- Workspace Username — a short, unique handle used in your in-app URLs. Acrosite checks availability as you type and can suggest one based on your workspace name.
- Workspace Profile — whether the workspace is for an Agency, a Business, or a Solo creator. This only tailors the experience; you can use Acrosite fully either way.
- Website URL *(optional)* — the main site this workspace is for.
Review the trial terms — your plan, amount, tax handling, trial end and first-charge date, and how to cancel — confirm them, and choose Continue to Secure Payment to add a payment method on our payment provider's secure page. Your workspace is created as soon as your payment method is confirmed.
Workspace Username rules
The Workspace Username appears in your in-app URLs, so it follows a few rules:
- 3 to 30 characters.
- Lowercase letters and numbers only.
- Must start with a letter.
- No spaces, hyphens, or underscores.
- Some reserved words (like
admin,app, andbilling) are not available.
If a username is taken or reserved, Acrosite tells you and offers a suggestion. You can change the Workspace Username later from Workspace settings, with a short cooldown between changes.
What happens next
Once the workspace exists, you land in your workspace dashboard. From here you can:
- Add your first project — see Create your first project.
- Invite people to help — see Invite a Team Member.
- Review your plan and trial — see Billing, trial, and plan limits.
Troubleshooting
- The username I want is not available. It may be taken or reserved. Try a variation, or accept Acrosite's suggestion.
- I created the wrong workspace name. You can rename the workspace from Workspace settings; the name and the Workspace Username are managed separately.
- I need more than one workspace. Additional workspaces beyond your included trial workspace require a paid plan. See Billing, trial, and plan limits.
