Build a website with AI — step by step

You don't need to know how to code. Describe what you want, and today's AI website tools will design, write, and build it for you. Here's the exact process, a prompt to start from, and the tools we recommend.

The process

1. Write down what your site is for

   One or two sentences: who it's for and the single action a visitor should take (call you, book, buy, read). Everything else flows from this.

2. Gather your raw material

   Your business name, a few photos, your services or products with prices, contact details, and 2–3 sites you like the look of. AI fills gaps, but real details make it yours.

3. Pick a tool below and paste the starter prompt

   Start with our Best Choice unless the "why" on another pick fits you better. Paste the prompt, replace the bracketed parts with your details, and generate.

4. Refine in plain English

   Don't settle for the first draft. Ask for changes the way you'd tell a designer: "make the header darker", "add a testimonials section", "shorter about text".

5. Connect a domain and publish

   Every tool below has a publish step — connect your own domain name (or use a free subdomain to start) and your site is live.

Your starter prompt

Build a modern, mobile-friendly website for [business name], a [type of business] in [city].

Pages: Home, About, Services, Contact.

The main goal: get visitors to [call us / book an appointment / buy online].

Style: clean and professional, [dark/light] theme, accent color [color]. 

Include: a clear headline about [main service], a services section with [list your services and prices], customer reviews section, and a contact section with [phone/address/hours].

Write all the text in simple, friendly English. Avoid buzzwords.
