Every website builder I've tried is too complicated — is there a simpler option?

Step-by-step

1

Why traditional builders feel hard (it's not you)

Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, and WordPress are genuinely powerful tools. They're also designed with the assumption that you have 4–8 hours to learn the interface, try different templates, understand what sections to include and why, write your own copy, deal with image sizing, and make ongoing design decisions. For someone building their first website between running a business and everything else in their life, the number of decisions required is overwhelming. The platforms are not 'easy' — they're 'possible for motivated, patient, moderately technical users'.

The specific bits that usually cause people to give up

Three friction points cause most website builder abandonment: 1) Picking a template — there are too many, none feels exactly right, and the wrong choice feels irreversible. 2) Writing the copy — people stare at a blank text box unsure what to write. 3) Making design decisions — font, colour, spacing, layout — without design training. None of this is about not understanding computers. It's about being asked to do a job you haven't been trained for, with no clear right answer.

What AI builders do differently

AI website builders bypass all three friction points. Instead of a template picker, you describe your business. Instead of writing copy, the AI writes it based on what you said. Instead of making design decisions, the AI makes them based on your industry and inputs. The result is a complete website generated in under 60 seconds. You then edit using plain English — 'make the headline shorter', 'change the colours to blue', 'add a section about my pricing' — rather than clicking through menus and learning interface shortcuts.

What you actually need to provide

A description of your business. That's it to get started. 'I'm a mobile dog groomer based in Leeds. I specialise in large and nervous breeds and I visit clients at home. My prices start at £45 for small dogs.' That description produces a complete website with a hero section, services list, pricing, and contact form. You don't need photos at first. You don't need copywriting skills. You don't need design preferences. You just need to know what you do.

Editing after generation

After the site is generated, editing is via chat. You describe what you want changed and the AI updates it: 'Change the main colour to green', 'remove the FAQ section', 'add a section about our service area covering Bradford and Harrogate'. If you don't like a change, type 'undo that' or 'revert'. No menus, no templates, no save-before-preview. The experience is designed for people who think in words rather than in design.
