How to Make a Website Using AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)

No coding and no prompt-writing. Tell us about your business in a few boxes, we turn it into instructions, and one click opens them in your AI. Thirty minutes from now you'll have a real website at your own address.

6 steps · about 30 minutes AI: free Hosting: a few dollars a month Skills: none
Start with step 1 ↓
  • A finished website in a file you own

Step 1 · 1 minute

Choose your AI

All three can build a complete website. Pick the one you already have an account with — every button on this page will open your instructions in it.

Use one chat for the whole project. The AI remembers your brief, your colours and every change, so each step builds on the last.
Next: describe your website →
Step 2 · 5 minutes · interactive

Describe your website

This is what separates a generic template from a site that sounds like you. Fill in what you know — blanks are fine, the AI will ask about anything it needs.

About your business

The AI replies with a page plan, headlines and three colour options. Read it, answer any questions it asks, and remember which colour option you like — step 3 asks for it.

				
Next: build it →

			


			

				
Step 3 · 10 minutes · interactive

				
Build it

				
Now ask for the website itself, in the same chat. You'll get one file that opens on your computer and uploads anywhere.

Paste it into the same chat as step 2 so the AI keeps your plan and colours.

Save it and take a look

				
    
					
  1. Copy the code the AI gives you — there's a copy icon at the top of the code block.
    2. 
					
  2. Open Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac, Format → Make Plain Text), paste, and save as index.html on your desktop.
    3. 
					
  3. Double-click the file. It opens in your browser. That's your website.
    4. 
				

				

					
file:///Users/you/Desktop/index.html

					

						
					

					

						This is what the bakery example produced — open your saved index.html and you'll see your own version like this.

Before you move on: email the file to yourself and open it on your phone. Tap every menu link. Anything that looks wrong goes in the box above — it's a one-line fix now and a headache later.

				
Next: get your domain →

			


			

				
Step 4 · 5 minutes · the only step that costs money

				
Choose a domain name and hosting

				
Your site needs an address (the domain, like willowandrye.com) and somewhere to live online (hosting). You get both in one purchase; the domain is usually free with a yearly hosting plan.

				

					
Find a name that's free

					
					
					

					
Click a suggestion to check if it's available on Hostinger. Short, easy to say out loud, no hyphens. If .com is taken, try your country's ending before anything unusual.

				

				
Then get hosting, with the domain included

				
    
					
  1. Choose a web hosting plan. The cheapest plan is plenty for this site. Pick a 12-month term so the domain is free for the first year.
    2. 
					
  2. Create your account and pay. You'll land in the control panel, called hPanel.
    3. 
					
  3. When it asks, claim your free domain — type the name you chose above.
    4. 
					
  4. Skip the "install WordPress" offer; you already have a site. Choose Empty website or close the wizard.
    5. 
				

				
We use Hostinger in this guide because you can upload a file without any technical setup and the free domain keeps the whole thing to one small payment. Some links are affiliate links; your price is the same.

				
Next: publish →

			


			

				
Step 5 · 5 minutes

				
Publish

				
Five clicks from a file on your desktop to a live website.

				
    
					
  1. In hPanel open Websites → Manage next to your domain, then Files → File Manager (what it looks like).
    2. 
					
  2. Open the public_html folder. If there's a file called default.php, delete it.
    3. 
					
  3. Click Upload and choose your index.html.
    4. 
					
  4. Visit https://yourdomain.com. If you still see a placeholder, wait a few minutes and reload — new domains take a moment to wake up.
    5. 
					
  5. Under Security → SSL, check it says Active and switch on Force HTTPS so visitors see the padlock.
    6. 
				

				
Prefer not to touch files at all? Hostinger's AI website builder can take your step-2 description and build and host the pages itself — less control, nothing to upload.

Contact form not delivering? A plain form needs a free form service behind it. In step 6, type: "connect the contact form to a free form service and walk me through the two-minute setup".

Improve it

				
Your site is live. The same chat is now your web developer — on call, free, and it already knows your site. Two things worth doing today.


				
Get found on Google

Paste your index.html where the instructions say. Upload the updated file, then add your site at Google Search Console (free) so Google finds it sooner.

Common questions

				
Is a website made with AI good enough for a real business?
Yes, for the site most small businesses need: what you do, who you are, proof, how to reach you. If you need to take payments, let the AI design the pages but run the shop on a proper platform such as WooCommerce or Shopify.

				
Which AI is best?
For the code and longer pages, Claude usually gives the cleanest result; for writing and images, ChatGPT; if you're all-in on Google, Gemini. All three finish the job with these steps.

				
Do I need the paid version?
No. Free plans have message limits — if you hit one, wait a little or paste the same instructions into another of the three.

				
The AI's answer got cut off halfway
Type: "Continue exactly from the last line — don't repeat anything." Or ask for the file in two halves.

				
I changed something and now it's broken
Type: "Give me the full file as it was before the last change." And keep dated copies of index.html on your computer, so you can always re-upload the last good one.

				
What does it all cost?
The AI: free. Hosting with the domain included: a few dollars a month on a yearly plan (renewal is higher — the checkout page shows both). Nothing else is required.


				

					
That's a website.

					
Describe, build, name, publish, improve. The same five forms work for every site you make next — bookmark this page.
