Can AI build a website for my business?
Short answer
Yes. AI website builders from Wix, Squarespace, Hostinger and others can create a draft site, with pages, text and images, from a few answers about your business. ChatGPT and Claude can also write website code. You still need to add real photos, check every claim, set up contact details and make sure the site appears in Google.
Your options
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| AI website builder (Wix, Squarespace, Hostinger and similar) | Most small businesses: hosting, editing and forms included |
| ChatGPT or Claude writing code | People comfortable publishing files themselves |
| Web designer using AI | When you want it done for you, faster and often cheaper than before |
What to check before going live
- Your real business name, phone, area covered and opening hours.
- No made-up reviews, awards or accreditations. Only list Gas Safe, NICEIC or similar if you hold them.
- Real photos of your work where possible.
- A privacy notice and a working contact form.
- A Google Business Profile linked to the site.
