# Create a project

You need a Flexkit account and permission to create a project in the chosen team. If your team has already invited you, start with [Join a project](/docs/getting-started/join-project).



## Create the project

1. [Sign up](/signup) or [log in](/login) and open [Dashboard](/dashboard).
2. Select the team that will own the project. Team billing and project access are administered separately.
3. Use the project creation action, enter a recognizable name, and complete the form.
4. Open the new project's **Settings → General**. Copy **Project ID** into your Studio configuration's `projectId`.

The ID identifies the backend project. The project name helps people recognize it; changing a name is not a data migration. Your configured Studio title can differ from the Dashboard name.

## Connect an application

Choose the [Next.js](/docs/quickstart), [Astro](/docs/quickstart/astro), or [TanStack Start](/docs/quickstart/tanstack-start) guide. You will define a schema, install extensions, add a server handler, and deploy the schema with the CLI.

Creating a Dashboard project does not publish a Studio URL. Share your hosted Studio URL with teammates after [application deployment](/docs/deployment).

## Check the result

The project should appear under the intended team, and its ID should match the configuration. If creation is unavailable, ask a team administrator to create the project or adjust your access. Do not configure a different team's project merely because it appears in the selector.

Next: [framework quickstart](/docs/quickstart).
