website-builder 0.15 — German sites, now legally and technically complete 🇩🇪

As always: your favorite AI assistant takes you by the hand — just ask it, in your own words, and it does the work.

What's new:

  • ⚖️ The Impressum is here. German law requires this page on essentially every commercial German site — v0.14 shipped the quality checks but forgot the page itself. Now there's a ready-to-fill draft (with the German privacy page it needed too), linked from every page like it has to be.
  • 🖼️ Long German words no longer get cut off. Share-preview cards (the image that shows up when you paste your link into WhatsApp or Slack) could silently clip a long German word right off the edge. Fixed — and it now tells you loudly if a title genuinely can't fit, instead of shipping it broken.
  • 🇩🇪 A German-only site is now a first-class citizen, not an afterthought. The most common shape — build the whole site in German, no English version — previously got zero protection against English content sneaking in under a German label. It does now. Same for du/Sie (informal/formal) mixing on one page.
  • 🌍 Building a bilingual site? Partial translations (a German-only blog post on an English site, say) are now fully supported, with a lightweight option for sites that only need a couple of translated pages. Search engines get consistent signals either way — the exact kind of hreflang mistake that makes Google quietly drop your translated pages is now caught before you ship it.
  • 🔍 German market SEO gets sharper, from title lengths (German words run wider) to Google/Bing search tracking that actually understands German spelling variants (München vs. muenchen) instead of reporting phantom zero traffic.
  • 🧰 The toolkit itself got more honest — when the underlying skills improve, sites now find out about it (previously that update channel had a blind spot), and every claim the README makes about German support now has something real behind it.

New here? How to start: download website-builder.zip below, unzip it, and paste the starter prompt from the README into your AI assistant — it takes you by the hand from there.

Already have a German site from v0.14? Ask your assistant to check for updates (make whats-new) — the Impressum and the other fixes are worth adding to an existing project too.

For the technically curious: this release closes out a full audit of the v0.14 German launch — 40 findings across 15 pull requests, every one independently reviewed. Start at PR #33 if you want to read through them.
