How much does it cost to build a website with AI?
A polished marketing/landing site live on a custom domain, without hand-coding.
Do it yourself with AI — step by step
- 1
Pick your path: design-first no-code (Framer) for a marketing site, or prompt-to-React code you own (v0 by Vercel / Lovable).
- 2
Generate the layout: in Framer prompt a full landing page, or scaffold a Next.js + Tailwind site section-by-section in v0.
- 3
Write the copy and headlines with Claude (Opus 4.8) or ChatGPT (GPT-5.5) — feed your offer, audience, and one competitor URL.
- 4
Add visuals (Midjourney / image gen) and icons (Lucide/Heroicons) — never fake logos or official crests.
- 5
Wire the form/CTA (Framer form + Formspark, or a Supabase table) and add analytics (Vercel Analytics / Plausible).
- 6
SEO pass: AI drafts title tags, meta, OpenGraph, JSON-LD, sitemap/robots — then you verify and submit in Search Console.
- 7
Connect a custom domain, publish (Framer hosting or push the v0 repo to Vercel), and test mobile + Core Web Vitals.
