Imagine this: You have an idea—maybe it’s a side hustle, a passion project, or a bold new business. Instead of wrestling with site layouts and design choices, you just say the word…and your website appears.
Creating a website should be simple. And now it’s as simple as having a conversation.
That’s the magic of our new AI website builder. It takes your input and instantly creates a fully designed, content-ready WordPress website, complete with text, layouts, and images, for you. Just you and your vision, with AI handling the rest.
Who is it for?
Our AI website builder is ideal for anyone who wants to launch a great-looking website quickly and easily, including:
- Entrepreneurs and small business owners who need a professional online presence without building it all from scratch.
- Freelancers and creators who want a portfolio that looks great with little effort.
- Bloggers and side hustlers who want to quickly share their ideas online.
- Developers who want to spin up ideas quickly for clients without starting from zero.
While it isn’t quite ready to create ecommerce sites or sites that require complex integrations (but stay tuned!), the builder will create beautiful, functional websites in minutes.
How it works
Rather than piecing everything together yourself, like picking a theme, adjusting colors, adding text, and finding images, the builder streamlines the process for you:
- Head to this page and tell us about your website idea.
- Log into your existing WordPress.com account or sign up for free.
- Watch AI build your site.
- Make changes by manually editing the page or by asking for updates in the chat box.
- Ready to share your site with others? A WordPress.com hosting plan gives your AI-built site a secure, reliable home online with a free domain for the first year. Then you can go live when the timing is right, or click the Launch button in the top-right corner to launch immediately.
Use the AI website builder like a pro
Unlike other AI experiences that generate basic, one-size-fits-all templates, our AI website builder does things differently. Here are a few key tips to keep in mind when you use it:
- Be as specific as possible in your first prompt: The more information you supply to the builder, the better. Provide your desired site name and a short description of the site (Is it a portfolio site, blog, or business website? What kind of content will you publish on the site?). Remember that you’ll be able to tweak colors, fonts, layouts, and images later, so don’t stress about this step too much!
- Create a new site to use the builder: This feature is currently only available for brand-new WordPress.com websites.
- Get 30 free prompts: Want a new page? What about a contact form? How about a new picture for your homepage? Take advantage of your 30 free prompts (or purchase a hosting plan for your site to get unlimited prompts) to create a site that’s uniquely yours.
- Return anytime: Want to take a break? Once you have a hosting plan, you can return to using the AI website builder by going to Appearance → Editor in your WordPress.com site dashboard whenever inspiration strikes.
- It’s still WordPress: If you want to take over, you can edit and add pages manually, change the site design, and use development tools on our Business plan and above.
- Learn more: Dive deeper into using the builder by checking out our support documentation.

Okay I need a Page that says the service I can offer:

The newly qualified Reili Master will be given Full instructions beforehand from me. I am a qualified Reiki Master with 17 years experience.
Also I teach a Full Alignment Sessions. This raises the students energies and frequences. This in turn raises the vibrational frequences of the student to Intergalactic levels.
What can Ai do with this?
The AI website builder would be perfect for your Reiki services! Why don’t you try pasting this description into the builder prompt? Give it a try with the free prompts to see how quickly it can create a complete Reiki practice website for you.
I don’t need AI. I can create all by myself.
That’s wonderful that you can create a site by yourself! Many people have that skill and prefer the hands-on approach to web design. The AI website builder is just another option that might help those who find website creation challenging or time-consuming. Everyone has different strengths and preferences when it comes to getting online, and we’re excited to offer tools that work for various needs and skill levels.
Actually I was being a little sarcastic. I was trying to say that I neither want nor need AI tools. Having said that I may already be using some but I don’t know why AI has to be in our lives. I posted something on Linked recently and was asked if I wanted to rewrite it using AI! I can write my own posts! I guess I am old-fashioned and don’t like short cuts.
I appreciate your candid follow-up. You’re right that AI tools aren’t necessary for everyone, and there’s great value in creating content yourself. I hope you continue to do that! These tools are optional resources, not replacements for human creativity.
We continue to maintain our traditional website building tools for users who prefer that approach. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Dear Tess: I am sorry, I was a little too candid. You are right, AI isn’t for everyone. I have had the same theme on my website for 15 years, but am not brave enough to switch themes! Thank you for your responses.
No need to be sorry! We appreciate all feedback, even when it’s candid.
I totally understand being nervous about switching themes. You’re not alone! That’s why we have a way to preview new themes before switching to them. If you can build up the courage, why not give that a spin?
Hmm, I am rather tempted to. I think I will give it a try!
I write all my own posts, do my own photography and more, but it would be useful to have an AI editor go over everything, particularly if it respected by writing style. It’s not a short cut to have an editor make suggestions. I used to be a sub-editor, copy editor and editor so I know the difference a good one can make. My wife, an English teacher, used to do some editing for me but it wasn’t fair on her due to the volume of posts over many years. I can’t afford a human editor, but I might be able to afford an AI one.
Yes, that’s a good point!
This is great for building a brand new blog and starting from the beginning, but what if I want to change the theme of my blog, keep my existing content and keep all my followers? Will AI help me do this? Keeping my fingers crossed that it will.
Hi there! Thank you for your interest in our AI website builder.
Currently, the AI website builder is designed specifically for creating new WordPress.com sites from scratch. However, I’m happy to share that we’re working on support for existing sites. Keep an eye on our blog for updates!
In the meantime, if you’re looking to refresh your current site’s design, you can explore our theme options through Appearance → Themes in your dashboard.
Thanks for getting back to me, Tess.
I’m delighted to hear that WordPress is working on AI to help existing bloggers who want to change the theme of their blogs rather than build a new one.
I’ve considered the theme options but don’t feel confident enough to switch from a Classic to a Block theme yet. It all seems too complicated, and I don’t want to risk breaking anything during the process. Although I have been blogging for 11 years on WordPress and have changed themes many times, they were all simply from Classic to Classic. Changing to an FSE Block theme looks much harder. I’ve also noticed that some of the available themes do not give the option of being able to preview before switching. Plus, I found searching for a new theme with a righthand widget bar very challenging.
I understand where you’re coming from! Moving from a Classic theme to a Block theme is a bigger change than switching between Classic themes, and it’s very normal to feel cautious about making that move.
I still remember making the leap to blocks for the first time, and it definitely felt like a steep learning curve at first. But now that I’m used to using Block themes, I honestly couldn’t imagine going back. There are so many benefits to block themes that make creating and customizing content easier—and more fun!
If you’re feeling up to it, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. We have some helpful support resources about switching to a Block theme, and you can always reach out to our team if you’d like help along the way.
As a bonus, you won’t need to worry about finding a theme with a righthand widget bar, because the Site Editor in Block themes lets you create your own sidebar, exactly the way you want it!
Can the AI tool help to revise/update an existing site or is this only for new sites?
Hi there! Thanks for asking about our AI website builder.
Right now, the AI website builder is just for creating new WordPress.com sites from scratch. The good news is that we’re working on extending this functionality to existing sites. We’ll share updates on our blog when this becomes available!
In the meantime, you can still use all the regular WordPress editing and customization tools in your dashboard to refresh your current site.
My blog is more than 30 years old. What I’d like is AI that could go through the thousands of draft posts that I never had time to complete, tidy up the spelling and grammar, ensure the writing style is consistent with my public posts and generate suitable headings before publishing. Doing it manually would take years. I’d also like AI that could go through and modernise the formatting of the old posts. Again, doing it manually would take years. Similarly with the old posts that lack featured images: I’d love AI to through, generate images and then give me a preview list so all I had to do was respond yes/no/try again.
Hi there! Thanks for sharing these ideas. That’s an impressive 30-year-plus blog history you have!
While our current AI website builder is focused on creating new sites, we’re working on support for existing sites, and I’ve passed on your specific feature requests to our product team. Keep an eye on our blog for updates as we continue to expand our AI capabilities.
In the meantime, you might find our existing AI content tools helpful for some of your needs. Our AI Assistant can help with writing and editing content, which could speed up your process for those draft posts. You can find it in the block editor when you’re working on posts.
Thanks for the response. The AI assistant is useful but doesn’t go far enough. Being able to instruct it to review all draft posts, edit them to be consistent with published posts and writing style, suggest headings and then present them in posts as “pending” with a “quick view and publish” option would make a massive difference. It would be like submitting copy to an editor but with final sign off remaining with me. . I’d happily pay either a higher subscription or a one off fee based on volume for something like that.
These are great ideas! Thank you for sharing them.
Thank you for this in-the-loop knowledge. With so many changes in technology, I am tired. However, I am thinking of making a change to my website. At this point having AI to do all that I would like done without any problems is just the thing for me. The truth is, my fight is never ending, and at this point I am too tired to start. Help!
Oh, I understand that feeling of technology fatigue. 🙂
Our AI website builder is designed to make creating a new site simple and stress-free. Why not give it a try for a new project, or just to give your brain a break? It’s free to start, and you might be surprised at how effortless the process feels. Sometimes you just need a small win to get back on track!
Thanks Tess. Though I was hoping in a response: Would you like me to do the job for you at an affordable cost? 🙂
One day soon I will put my mind to getting it done.
Wishing you a pleasant day!
Haha! Well, if the AI website builder is feeling too hard right now, you could take a look at our design services?
Wishing you a great day too—and good luck when you decide to dive in!
This is a great idea! But all of my WP sites have their own domain. So I guess I use WP.org. Can this tool be used there? Or can I use it on WP.com and transfer my site to it’s own domain?
Great question! Just to clarify—you can absolutely have a site on WordPress.com and use your own domain. Many of our users do exactly that.
This new AI Website Builder is available on WordPress.com, so if you create a site here, you can connect a domain you already own, or register a new one through us.
If you’re not sure whether your site is on WordPress.com or self-hosted, this guide explains the difference. And if you’re ever interested in moving a site to WordPress.com (and keeping your domains!), we’d be happy to help with that too.
At this point having AI to do all that I would like done without any problems is just the thing for me.
We hear you! That’s exactly the kind of challenge we’re working to solve—making it easier to get things done without any problems. AI won’t be perfect every time, but our goal is to save you time and help take some of the work off your plate.
Let us know if you decide to give it a try. We’d love to hear how it works for you.
can it enhance an exist website like mine
Hello! At the moment, our AI website builder only works for building brand new WordPress.com sites. We’re currently developing support for existing websites though, so stay tuned! We’ll post updates on our blog as soon as this feature is ready.
While you wait, remember that all the standard WordPress editing and customization features are still available in your dashboard if you want to make changes to your current site.
Thank you
Tess, I am very impressed by the fact that WordPress has put you, a real person, in charge of responding to these comments in real time. Almost unheard of these days! FWIW, my blog’s still on TypePad (!) where I started it in 2004 but I have to say there’s a HUGE amount of pain involved in using it…. Hmmm… It’s here: https://www.bookofjoe.com/
Thank you! I appreciate that. It’s a privilege to have real conversations with people in the comments. That’s what blogging has always been about—but you’d know that, with your blogging history. Congrats on keeping it going for so long!
Sorry to hear that TypePad is a painful experience for you. If you ever decide it’s time for a new home, we’d love to have you on WordPress.com. Either way, it’s wonderful to see blogs like yours still going strong.
I think there’s a lot I got to learn. I just unleashed my blog and can’t wait to see the ups and downs of this journey
Congratulations on launching your blog! There’s always something new to learn, but that’s part of the journey. If you haven’t already, make sure you check out all our guides to help you succeed!
