This YouTube transcript discusses two new AI-powered website builders for WordPress. The first builder, available for free through a plugin, creates basic websites by asking for a business name, description, and image selections.
It rapidly generates site designs, text, and images, which are all customizable with point-and-click editing. The second AI website builder, which will be available through a paid plan, allows web creators to generate detailed sitemaps and wireframes by creating outlines and content for each page. This allows users to create websites with more customization and control.
Users can create an entire site in minutes, but final design touches are still required to make the website unique.
Overview of New AI Website Builders for WordPress
The YouTube video introduces two new AI website builders designed to create WordPress sites.
The first AI builder will be familiar to users and is enhanced with languages and custom options for images.
The second option uses the business name and description to build a site map, wireframes, and then the WordPress site.
This process can be completed in minutes, streamlining the traditional web creation workflow.
The AI determines the necessary pages for the website, but users can edit, remove, or add pages as needed.
The AI generates an outline of content for each page.
Users can create wireframes with real text based on the provided business description.
The wireframes are editable, allowing users to change the design.
With one click, the website can be created.
These tools are designed to speed up website creation, not replace web creators.
Design touches, colors, topography, and images still require manual input.
The goal is to accelerate the process of building and delivering website projects.
First AI Website Builder: Features and Access
To try the first AI website builder, users can visit try.new, which creates a new WordPress website for testing purposes.
The test website expires in 30 minutes.
The video suggests installing the “starter templates” plugin.
After activating the plugin, users can access the AI Builder via the appearance settings.
Using the AI Builder requires connecting to the AI provider, ZipWP, which is free.
Users must create a free account to link to the service.
The process involves six steps, starting with naming the website and choosing the business category.
Users can select the language for the website.
A brief description of the business should follow the WWW framework: who, what, and where.
The AI can improve the description, which users can then verify and edit.
Users can enter business information and social media profiles to populate contact forms and the about us page.
The option to upload or select images is available, with a search function for various image types.
Users can preview and choose from targeted website designs for their niche, with multi-purpose options available.
The designs display generated text based on the business description.
Users can add their logo, change colors and fonts, and see responsive previews for different devices.
Capabilities like video players, automations, payment forms, and live chat can be added.
The website is built in approximately 30 to 60 seconds.
The completed website is customizable, allowing users to change images and text.
The design is built on WordPress, allowing for point-and-click editing.
Users can edit pages and replace images from the media library or free stock images.
The AI tool creates a four or five-page website, but users can add more pages.
Second AI Website Builder: Sitemap and Wireframe Approach
The second AI website builder is designed for professional web creators needing more control for larger projects.
This builder is not yet released but is expected in April.
Unlike the first builder, this one requires a paid plan due to higher costs associated with custom models.
The builder starts with a site map, then creates wireframes, and finally the website.
The canvas allows users to zoom in/out and move elements.
The sitemap includes an outline of content for each page, with brief descriptions used to generate content.
The wireframe is built only for pages with content outlines.
The wireframe builder learns from prior design selections.
Setting a design for testimonials or calls to action on one page ensures consistency on subsequent pages.
Users can select different layouts for sections like testimonials and calls to action, with content generated upon selection.
Content sections are editable, allowing users to insert additional content.
Generating a single page first helps verify the design and set preferred page title areas.
Users can add sections to guide the AI on what content to include in the wireframe.
Generating subsequent pages uses the same page header and design choices.
The background color of sections can be changed.
The color will correspond with the color palette once the website is created.
Users can generate outlines for all pages but should first remove any irrelevant pages and add necessary ones.
The AI can add SEO-targeted pages, like residential or commercial landscape design under Services, which can be deleted if not needed.
It is important to review the content outline for each page to ensure it aligns with the website’s goals.
The entire wireframe for the website can be built instantly.
Users should verify the design and content of each section.
Clicking the “create website” button builds the entire website.
The final step involves adding design touches like topography, color palette, and images.
Users can select a color palette and topography, which are applied site-wide.
Customization and Final Touches
The website is built using WordPress, so users can customize the color palette and topography in the customizer.
Menus and other elements can be adjusted.
Service pages, submenus, contact forms, and calls to action are all included.
The website requires designer touches to make it unique.
Both AI website builders are powered by ZipWP.
The first builder is free, allowing users to create free accounts and websites.
The second builder, with the sitemap feature, requires a paid plan.
The sitemap builder will be released with an alpha status, which means there might be bugs.
The builder may need additional work, like expanding section designs.
The writing quality is solid, and the designs are good, but more advanced designs will be added in the future.
The AI tools can save web creators a lot of time and effort.
Using the tool is not technical; it involves choosing a section category and describing the section’s purpose in natural language.
Expertise is required for the design phase, including topography, colors, and finishing touches.
The AI website builders can be a significant time-saver for professional web agencies.
