Complete Guide to Building Websites with AI in 2026

This is the guide we wish we had when we started. 220+ sites later, here's everything we learned.

Step 1: Choose Your AI Tool

We used Claude AI exclusively. See our comparison.

Step 2: Describe Your Site

Be specific. Don't say 'make a website.' Say 'Build a dark-themed landing page for a meme generator with a hero section, feature grid, and pricing cards.'

Step 3: Deploy Free

GitHub Pages or Cloudflare Pages — both free. Your site is live in minutes.

Step 4: Add SEO

Meta tags, Schema.org, sitemap.xml, Google Search Console. See our SEO tools guide.

Step 5: Monetize

AdSense, affiliates, ebooks, premium features. Get our 33 ebooks on monetization.
