AI revolutionized the process of creating websites, saving you the time and money it takes to build one from scratch. If you’re looking to design a new website and don’t know where to start, opt for an AI website builder. These handy tools let you make custom websites without any coding knowledge. Simply describe the site you want, and AI will automatically generate a template based on your input. Depending on the software, some even provide text and stock images to populate your template. Use these prompt ideas to create your own:

  • Construct a clean, minimalist blog template for a personal website. Include sections for blog posts, an about me page, and a contact form. The theme should feel modern and use light, neutral colors.
  • Make a small-business website template for a local coffee shop. Include pages for a menu, customer reviews, and an online ordering option. The theme should feel cozy and use warm colors, with space for social media links and location details.

Bring your designs to life with AI

AI image generation tools create realistic website mockups based on your prompts. Describe your ideal website to your image generator, including style, color scheme, aesthetic, product, and purpose, and AI generates various images of web designs you can use for inspiration. These tools often generate multiple images, so select your favorite and continue to refine the design until you find what you need. Try the following prompts to get started:

  • Design a homepage layout for an environmental nonprofit organization. Start with a mission statement banner followed by sections for featured projects, volunteer opportunities, and a donation button. The design should be clean, using green and earth tones, with visual elements like leaf icons and a calm, organized layout.
  • Build a homepage layout for a professional photographer’s portfolio. It should have a full-width header with a high-impact hero image followed by a grid of categorized photo galleries, a bio section, and a contact form. The design should feel sleek and modern, using monochromatic tones to let the photos stand out.
“AI will create an outline of a potential website structure based on your input, which you can refine and use as a blueprint when designing the site itself.”

Ask AI for website structure ideas

Generate website structure ideas with these tools to take the guesswork out of designing your website. For example, ask AI to “design a website about [product], and target it towards [target audience].” AI will produce an outline of a potential website structure based on your input, which you can refine and use as a blueprint when designing the site itself. Experiment with different layouts and navigation ideas until you have a starting point that matches your brand’s style.

With AI, designing a website that captivates your audience has never been easier. Start building your vision today, and let AI handle the heavy lifting for a stunning, user-friendly site.
