I’m a business and marketing consultant on a mission to master Artificial Intelligence. Over the next 12 months, whenever I have a task to perform, I will ask myself, "Could this be done with AI?" If the answer is yes, I’ll give it a try and share the results—the wins, failures and surprises. I’ll also be speaking with entrepreneurs, marketers, and business leaders who are using AI in innovative ways, so we can learn from their experiences. If you’re curious about AI but don’t know where to start, or if you're worried about getting left behind, this podcast is for you!

Can You Build a Website with AI in 2025? Here’s What You Need to Know

In this episode, I explore the question: Can you really build a website using AI in 2025?

The short answer: Yes—if your needs are simple.

The long answer: There are trade-offs.

Join me as I break down the current landscape of website development and show how AI fits into the process. Whether you’re a business owner, marketer, or just curious about AI tools, you’ll learn what’s possible—and what still requires a human touch.

Here’s what we cover:

- Why websites still matter in 2025, even with declining traffic
- What AI tools like ChatGPT can (and can’t) do in web design
- The four main options for building a site today:
1. Bespoke builds
2. Open-source CMS (like WordPress)
3. All-in-one SaaS builders (Wix, Squarespace)
4. New AI-assisted website builders (like Durable and Framer AI)
- Where AI saves time—and where you’ll still need a developer

I also share my own experience planning a website for this podcast, including the tools I tested, what worked, and why I ultimately chose WordPress (with help from AI) for more flexibility and control.
