7 AI Tools to Simplify Website Design in Minutes

7 AI Assistants to Simplify Your Website Design Process

By Mikhail Khomutetskiy, Founder of Turbologo

Why website design still feels like rocket science

Let me be honest: even in 2025, building a website can feel like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the manual. And that’s if you even get past choosing a domain name.

Over the last decade, I’ve worked with thousands of small businesses, startups, and solopreneurs. And if there's one thing they have in common, it's this: they want a good-looking website yesterday — but they don’t want to spend weeks (or thousands of dollars) making it happen.

Enter AI assistants.

These tools are changing the game for entrepreneurs who need to get online fast. They automate layout, generate copy, suggest visuals, and sometimes even publish the site for you. And they’re only getting smarter.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through 7 of the most promising AI-powered assistants that can dramatically simplify your website design process — with real-world advice on who they work best for, where they shine, and what to watch out for.

What is an AI website design assistant?

In simple terms, it's a tool that helps you build a website by automating complex decisions. Most of them:

• Generate a layout based on your business type or description
• Fill in text using AI copywriting
• Select relevant visuals (sometimes royalty-free)
• Offer mobile-friendly and SEO-ready designs

Unlike classic drag-and-drop builders, these tools make decisions for you. That’s a blessing for non-designers who just want to launch something that works.

Criteria I used to evaluate these assistants

Having tested dozens of these tools (both as a founder and a user), I focused on 5 core aspects:

1. Speed — How quickly can you go from idea to published site?
2. Ease of use — Is it intuitive for someone who’s never built a site before?
3. Design quality — Do the sites look professional and modern?
4. Customization — Can you tweak things later, or are you locked in?
5. Business fit — Does it suit real business goals (SEO, conversions, lead forms)?

The 7 Best AI Website Assistants Right Now

1. Wix ADI

Wix’s Artificial Design Intelligence tool asks a few questions and builds a site for you in minutes. It’s been around for a while, but still one of the most polished.

Best for: Local businesses, personal portfolios, online bookings
Pros: Intuitive flow, decent templates, good mobile optimization
Cons: Less flexible once generated; SEO requires manual tweaks

2. Hostinger Website Builder (Zyro AI)

Zyro (now integrated into Hostinger) uses AI to generate copy, layouts, and images. It's beginner-friendly and budget-conscious.

Best for: One-pagers, freelancers, side projects
Pros: Fast, clean UI, AI tools for headlines and text
Cons: Limited template variety, basic design controls

3. Shopify Magic

While not a site builder per se, Shopify’s Magic AI tools can generate product descriptions and auto-layouts for ecommerce stores.

Best for: Online stores, product pages
Pros: Seamless ecom integration, fast setup
Cons: Only for ecommerce, not general-purpose

4. Durable.co

An AI website builder claiming to launch your site in 30 seconds. Surprisingly usable. You just enter what you do, and Durable takes over.

Best for: Agencies, service businesses, quick MVPs
Pros: Fastest setup, automatic sections and CTAs
Cons: Feels generic, limited editing capabilities

5. Framer AI

Framer’s AI tool is geared toward designers who want more control. It generates a layout, but you can go pixel-perfect afterward.

Best for: Creative portfolios, startups, product showcases
Pros: Beautiful output, animation support, real-time preview
Cons: Steeper learning curve, not beginner-first

6. TeleportHQ

Teleport converts wireframes, screenshots, or prompts into editable code-based websites. It’s a hybrid: visual editor + developer export.

Best for: Developers, advanced no-code users
Pros: Code export, real CSS/HTML structure, real-time AI input
Cons: Overkill for non-techies

7. Turbologo AI Website Builder

Yes, I built this one. And here’s why.

Most of our users at Turbologo needed more than just a logo. They needed a place to put it. So we built an AI assistant that:

• Generates a complete website based on your business description
• Fills it with unique text and images
• Lets you tweak structure, copy and visuals with no code
• Publishes your site instantly on a free domain — making it easier to focus on growing your website instead of wrestling with setup.

Best for: Entrepreneurs, freelancers, solopreneurs
Pros: Fast, multilingual, integrated with branding tools
Cons: One live site per plan, advanced SEO requires upgrade

If you're using Turbologo to create your brand, it's the fastest way to launch your site, too. And if you don’t have a logo yet, you can create one here to match your website in minutes.

Expert Tip

If you're testing product ideas or launching a campaign, don't aim for perfection. Aim for speed. AI tools give you a huge unfair advantage when time is critical.

Create, iterate, and improve. You’re not married to your first version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know code to use these tools?
Not at all. All the tools here are no-code or low-code, designed for everyday users.

Will my site be SEO-friendly?
Most of them generate mobile-first, fast-loading sites. But for serious SEO, pick tools that allow meta tags and custom titles.

What if I want to change the layout later?
Some tools (like Framer, Turbologo) allow full layout control post-generation. Others may limit you to pre-set blocks.

Can I connect my own domain?
Yes, usually in paid plans. Turbologo, for example, supports domain connection on the Business plan.

How much do these tools cost?
Most offer a free plan with limited features, and paid options start around $10-$20/month.

Final Thoughts

AI has finally made website creation accessible, fast, and good-looking. Whether you're validating a product idea, launching your first service, or just want a landing page that doesn’t look embarrassing — these tools can get you there.

You don’t need to hire a designer. You don’t need to understand UX theory. You need clarity on your idea, and a little help from AI.

And if you're starting from scratch, with no visuals or direction? Start with a logo. That one asset will guide your colors, fonts, layout and tone. You can create one instantly with Turbologo, then launch your site with our AI website builder in minutes.
