Definition
An AI website builder is a tool that uses prompts and machine‑generated design/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
- Prompt: Describe your business, goals, services, and style.
- Generate: The builder creates pages, navigation, and initial content.
- Customize: Tweak layout, copy, and images; add sections or pages.
- Publish: Connect a domain and go live.
Key features to look for
- Multi‑page generation with consistent design
- SEO‑friendly structure and metadata options
- Mobile‑first layouts and fast performance
- Editable sections and visual controls
- Image tools (generate, crop, background removal)
Pros and cons
Pros
