Along the way, we\u2019ll offer some expert tips and suggestions, as well as a step-by-step guide on how to get started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re going to be using our own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/website-builder\/?PR=BRT40\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Website Builder<\/a> product for this article, as it\u2019s been designed to be as easy to use as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without any further ado, let\u2019s get started!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Making a website with AI \u2013 the smarter way to build<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the great things about Website Builder is it comes with an AI assistant to get you started. This does a lot of the \u201cheavy lifting\u201d for you by choosing an appropriate layout and composing written content to fill out the pages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot1.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of the Website Builder AI Setup process\" class=\"wp-image-16761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot1.png 768w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot1-300x159.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply let it know which type of business you are and it will get to work! In this example, we\u2019re going to go with a hairdresser.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll then have the option of entering any specific area of expertise you may have. Although this part can be skipped, we would definitely recommend entering something in there. After all, the whole point of a website is to help your small business stand out from the crowd. Any service you offer which your competitors don\u2019t is definitely something you should be shouting about.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to make a website of your own that boosts customer engagement<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The AI assistant will then ask you where your business is located. This is actually critically important, as it will ensure you benefit from \u201cnear me\u201d Google searches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of people these days use the voice assistant on their smartphone to get information. You\u2019ve probably even done it yourself at some point! Rather than manually going to Google and typing in a query, many of us will just ask our phone \u201cWhere is my closest hairdresser?\u201d or \u201cCan you give me a list of hairdressers near me?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google will then match the phone\u2019s location with suitable nearby businesses. If your website doesn\u2019t actually state where you\u2019re located, then you\u2019ll be missing out on all of this local custom.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Making a website that looks great<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The handy AI wizard will then go ahead and generate some possible designs for you to choose from. It\u2019ll use the information you\u2019ve previously entered to do this. As we advised it that one of our specialities was cutting children\u2019s hair, it\u2019s specifically created some content for us based around that specialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot2-1024x440.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of website designs created by the Website Builder AI Setup Wizard\" class=\"wp-image-16762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot2-1024x440.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot2-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot2-768x330.png 768w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot2-1536x661.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot2.png 1904w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a \u201cGet more designs\u201d link at the bottom which you can use to generate another set of choices if you prefer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to make a website of your own with the perfect layout<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you browse the displayed designs, consider the following points:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to ensure enough image space when making a website<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of a hairdresser, you\u2019ll want plenty of space to display photos of your work, as potential customers will want to see these before deciding to book.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For other industries, (for example \u2013 mechanics) use of images might not be as important, so the design will not need to be as visual. Have a look at the websites of your competitors and take some inspiration from what they are doing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to improve navigation when making a website<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a great looking website is only the first step, as you also need to ensure people won\u2019t get confused when trying to click around it. For example, you\u2019ll probably want a contact form or a page that lists your prices, so you need to make it as easy as possible for customers to access these.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to do this is with a navigation menu, either across the top or down the side, that contains links to all the important sections or pages of the website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to make a website of your own that\u2019s fully responsive<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In our experience, around 40% of visits to our own website are from mobile devices \u2013 and this figure is only going to get higher. You\u2019ll definitely want to make sure that you take this into account for your own website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that every design the AI wizard presents to you is fully mobile-responsive, meaning it will automatically adjust itself to compensate for the smaller screen sizes. For example, a layout that has an image on the left and text on the right when viewed on a large computer monitor, will generate adjust to image on top and text below when viewed on a phone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Making a website that\u2019s as unique as your business<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve chosen a suitable layout, you\u2019ll have the option to customise the colours and fonts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot3-1024x461.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of how to customise colours and fonts during the Website Builder AI Setup process\" class=\"wp-image-16763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot3-1024x461.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot3-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot3-768x346.png 768w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot3-1536x691.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot3.png 1824w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This too is a very important step, as it gives you the opportunity to really make the website your own. After all, nobody knows your business better than you!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some pro tips from our experts:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Make a website of your own with a professional colour scheme<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t want your website to look jarring or hurt the eyes, so make sure the colours you choose don\u2019t clash with each other. For example, putting light grey text on a white background would make the words very hard to read.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to maintain brand consistency when making a website<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your business has been going for a while, you may already have stationery such as business cards and leaflets. To ensure consistency, you\u2019ll want to make sure that your website uses the same colours so that it\u2019s immediately recognisable to your customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to make a website of your own where images shine<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re creating a very visual website with bold and attractive images, you\u2019ll want to make sure that the background colour of the page isn\u2019t too brash. The idea is to make the images the focus of the page, rather than the colours around them. Colours that are too bright may \u201cdrown out\u201d the pictures, watering down their effectiveness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to make a website of your own with minimal maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve selected your colours and fonts, the website will then be generated for you and you\u2019ll be taken to the editor. Here you can easily customise any aspect of it simply by clicking on it and using the provided tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AI assistant will have written some text for you, based around what you told it of your business earlier on. You can easily change that yourself by clicking into the text and making whatever changes are needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot4-1024x366.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of how to edit text in the Website Builder editor\" class=\"wp-image-16764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot4-1024x366.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot4-300x107.png 300w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot4-768x274.png 768w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot4.png 1313w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also update the images by clicking on each one and either uploading your own or choosing a more suitable one from the provided stock library.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot5-1024x469.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of how to change images in the Website Builder editor\" class=\"wp-image-16765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot5-1024x469.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot5-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot5-768x352.png 768w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot5.png 1423w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In no time at all, you\u2019ll be all set to grow your business in 2025 with a fully complete website \u2013 one that will appeal to a local audience, make an impression on all who see it and let you make your mark in a crowded market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before we go, here are some final suggestions on items you may want to consider once the website is live.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long does it take for Google to notice your website?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some businesses publish their website and then immediately expect the enquiries to start coming in. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not that simple.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can take a few weeks for Google to notice a new website and start displaying it in their results page. Even then, it\u2019ll be bundled in amongst other similar, and perhaps more established, websites.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to analyse your rivals when making a website<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a list of your main rivals and check their websites every now and then. You\u2019ll want to ensure that your own website always looks better than theirs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take some inspiration from what they\u2019re doing and think about how you can better it. If you offer a unique service that they don\u2019t, you\u2019ll want to ensure that\u2019s prominently featured on your home page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The importance of inclusive design<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people may be browsing your website using a screen reader \u2013 software that reads aloud the contents of the website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To accommodate this, click on each image in the editor and enter a short description of it in the \u201cDescription\u201d box. This will then be read aloud by screen readers, so that those who cannot see the image can still understand what it depicts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s it!
