Discussions about Artificial Intelligence (AI) are everywhere these days. You may have seen ads claiming AI can build your website in just a few minutes. That sounds amazing, but is it true? No. AI can help with many aspects of building your WordPress website, but it cannot do the entire process for you.
What AI Can Help You With
While AI can’t build your website for you, it can be a valuable assistant throughout the process. It can help you brainstorm your website structure, write a first draft of your pages or blog posts, and create or edit images and graphics. AI can help you optimize your FAQ page for searches. There are many ways to use AI in your business.
It can save you time, help you overcome writer’s block, and make creating your website feel much less overwhelming. However, AI won’t replace your creativity, experience, or knowledge of your business. Think of AI as a type of virtual assistant that can speed up some of the grunt work – while you focus on the important things in your business.
What AI Can’t Do:
1) AI Can’t Build a Complete WordPress Website
AI can generate HTML, CSS, JavaScript code, and even entire website templates, but that isn’t the same as building a complete, manageable WordPress website.
When you build your website with WordPress, you can log into your dashboard and update your content whenever you want.
2) AI Can’t Launch Your Website Completely on Its Own
Creating a website is only part of the process. Before anyone can visit your site, you have to set it up correctly. You have to take certain steps: buy a domain name, research and choose a hosting plan, set up your DNS, set up SSL security, etc. And this is before you even start creating your WordPress website.
AI can help with some of these tasks, but they still require human involvement, account access, and oversight.
3) AI Can’t Make Good Business Decisions
A website isn’t just a collection of pages. It’s your most important marketing tool for growing your business.
AI doesn’t automatically know your target customers, your goals, or what makes your business unique. You have to provide that information. It can’t decide which services to promote, what call to action will encourage visitors to contact you, or how to organize your content to best serve your audience.
Those decisions come from you. AI can help you write, brainstorm, and improve your ideas, but your experience and knowledge are what make your website truly effective.

Your Website Still Needs You
Remember, your website should reflect your personality, your experience, and the unique value you bring to your customers. It should answer the questions your ideal clients are asking and encourage them to take the next step. AI can help you create that content faster, but it can’t replace your knowledge or your relationship with your audience.
If you let AI do all of that work, you won’t be successful in making a true connection with your audience.
Final Thoughts…
One of the best ways to think about AI is as a very fast assistant. It can help you get started. It can help give you ideas, suggestions, and do research. It can handle repetitive tasks and save you hours of work.
However, it can’t build a complete WordPress website, launch your website, or make good business decisions for you. Only you can do that, and we can help. If you are ready to build the website you’ve dreamed of (with the help of our coaches), join the Website Creation Workshop.
