With the AI revolution in full swing, you've probably been tempted to see how far you can take AI in creating you a brand new, high-converting website for your business. The truth is, you can use AI to help you create that website, and you should. AI is an incredible new tool that we all have access to now that will help us do more in less time, increasing our productivity and reach. However, most people are doing it wrong and ending up with subpar websites that don't help their business. In this guide, I'll show you the best way to use AI for your website where it will help you the most, while avoiding aspects that aren't ready yet. When you follow my process, you can create a complete website from scratch to live in just one afternoon.
Section 1: The Main Categories of AI for Website Creation
When thinking about using AI for your website, it comes down to three main categories:
-
Text generation tools like ChatGPT. These are great for writing all your website content.
-
Mockup generators that create static images of what your website could look like. These are only part of the process and can't build a full functioning site.
-
All-in-one website creators. These claim to build a full site with just basic info, but don't focus on conversions and messaging. The content and layouts are generic and ineffective. While improving, AI generation of images, content, and full sites isn't ready for high conversion sites yet.
Section 2: The Best Way to Use AI – Focused Content Creation with ChatGPT
There is a better way to use AI that works much better. The most important part of a website is the written content, so no strategy can work without starting there. I've found an amazing method of using ChatGPT to help develop all your website content. However, you can't just ask it to write the whole site – you need to go section by section. I provide the specific prompts and sections you need below. ChatGPT can write really effective, stylized content following your guidance.
Section 3: Build Your Site with an Intuitive Page Builder
Once you have all your custom content, creating the finished site is easy without using AI builders. My favorite is the Elementor page builder plugin for WordPress. It comes with pre-designed templates where you can simply swap in your text, images, colors and more. I've created a 3 part video guide walking through:

By following this process, you can go from nothing to a high-converting, professional website built and online in just one afternoon. AI is a powerful tool when used correctly for content generation, but isn't quite there yet for full-service site builds. My method leverages AI's strengths while avoiding its weaknesses.
