AI website maker: what it makes and what you still do
Published 2 November 2026The short answer
An AI website maker turns a short description of your business into a working site: the pages, the wording, a design and images, shown as a live preview. It cannot know your prices, opening hours or qualifications, so you add those and read every sentence before you publish. Orivox is one, with a free plan and paid plans from $5 a month.
We make Orivox, so treat this as the publisher's view. This post quotes no other company's prices; where it describes Orivox, the facts come from our own plans page.
What an AI website maker produces
You describe the business in a few sentences and the maker generates a site from them. On Orivox that means the pages, the text, a design and images, shown as a live preview. Its own FAQ gives 20 to 90 seconds for the first draft, depending on the model and how complex the site is.
- Pages for the usual parts of a small business site, such as a home page, what you offer and how to get in touch.
- Wording written from your description, which is a draft until you have read it.
- A colour and layout design that you can change afterwards.
- Images to go with the text, which you can change in the editor.
What you still have to supply
The maker writes from what you tell it, so the facts are your job:
- Prices, opening hours, address and phone number. A maker cannot know them unless your description says them.
- Qualifications, licences or anything else a customer might rely on. Only include what is true.
- Photos of your real work, when you have them. They show a visitor something a picture made by AI cannot.
- Your own domain name, if you want one. On Orivox that is a paid-plan feature.
Then open the draft on your phone, because that is where many visitors will see it.
Using one, step by step
- Write two or three sentences: what you do, who for, where, and how people should contact you.
- Paste them into the maker and wait for the first draft.
- Read every line and note what is wrong or missing.
- Ask for the changes in plain words, such as 'shorten the headline' or 'add a section about emergency call-outs'. Gather several into one request to save credits.
- Publish, then check the live site on your phone.
On Orivox you create a free account to save your work. No credit card is needed.
How AI website makers differ
They all start the same way, so the differences are in what happens next. These are the questions that tell them apart, with Orivox's answers:
| Question | Orivox |
|---|---|
| How do I change the site later? | By chatting, or in a visual editor where each element can be changed directly |
| What does an edit cost? | AI credits: 5 a month plus 15 on signup on the free plan, 40 a month on Single Site |
| Is hosting included? | On the paid plans, with SSL. The free plan publishes on an Orivox address |
| Can I use my own domain? | On the paid plans |
| What is missing? | The plans list no store, booking system or customer database |

Common questions
What is an AI website maker?
A tool that builds a website from a written description of your business, then lets you change it by asking. The AI writes the first draft; you supply the facts and approve it.
Do I need design skills to use an AI website maker?
No. You describe the business and edit by chatting. On Orivox there is also a visual editor for changing individual elements directly.
Is the first draft good enough to publish as it comes?
Treat it as a starting point. It cannot know your exact prices, hours or qualifications, so read it through and correct it before it goes live.
Describe your business in a sentence or two and Orivox builds the first draft of your website. The free plan needs no credit card.
