LearnOSM. TileMill is a rugged application for designing detailed, beautiful maps. It is not meant for editing data or conducting analysis, but rather for cartography. With TileMill you use: data (this could be your OpenStreetMap database, or shapefiles)icons (you can use existing icons or design your own) TileMill provides a platform in which you can style your data in an elegant way and apply your own icons.
You can then export your map as an image or in the MBTiles format, which can be hosted on MapBox and placed on your website as an interactive map.

Exploring TileMill Map Legend. TileMill. TileMill (tilemill.com) is a design environment developed by MapBox for cartography, constituting Mapnik as a renderer, CartoCSS as a stylesheet language, and a locally-served web interface with node.js as a server and based on Backbone.js for the client. Since version 0.9.0, the web server is wrapped with a native GUI on all supported platforms.
TileMill can load shapefiles or connect to a PostGIS database for rendering. Raster data such as GeoTIFFs can also be rendered. By default TileMill renders to an MBTiles file, an SQLite bundle of tile images that enables compression and faster transfers. PNG and PDF output is also supported for static maps. Mercator is the main supported projection. As of 2015, TileMill is no longer under active development by Mapbox, which replaced it with Mapbox Studio, an online system that uses vector tiles.

Hi Charly, Yes, the default mapbox layers that used to be there are no longer available by default. It is still possible to use Mapbox base layers that you create on your own and add as a base layer.
The issue is that with Mapbox we are not able to control how people are using those base maps and we have detected overusage. Instead of complicating payments we will ask users that want to use a mapbox base map to get an account and get their own base map URL and use it inside CartoDB. Do you need help figuring out how to add a Mapbox Street basemap?
