Definition

An AI website builder is a tool that uses prompts and machine-generated design and content to create a working website in minutes. It can generate a site structure, pages, section layouts, copy, and images — then let you refine the result with simple edits.

How it works

  1. Prompt: Describe your business, goals, services, and style.
  2. Generate: The builder creates pages, navigation, and initial content.
  3. Customise: Tweak layout, copy, and images; add sections or pages.
  4. Publish: Connect a domain and go live.
