Get started with Uniform
Uniform offers a variety of paths for exploring at your own pace. If you're new to Uniform and visual workspaces for composable architectures, the best way to start is to request a demo. Complete the form, pick the date and time that works for you, and the team will walk you through Uniform's composition, personalization, and integration tools.
Prerequisites
You must have access to a Uniform team with the ability to create new projects. If you are an active customer or a partner, please get in touch with your Uniform team administrator colleague and ask for an invite.
If you are not sure or your company does not have a Uniform team, you can request a sandbox here.
Starters#
The fastest way to spin up a new project is with a starter. This is the best for those who learn by doing. With a starter you will:
- Use the Uniform CLI to create a new Uniform project
- Get a feel of Uniform visual workspace
- Experience in-line visual editing
- Get to know how personalization and A/B testing works
Each starter automatically connects the local codebase to the Uniform app and comes with live preview and in-line editing enabled.
