Build a website with AI using Durable AI Builder.  And get a website in seconds. It's that is easy. I built this webiste on Durable, and I'm experimenting with the performance vs a traditional WordPress website.  AI is a more affordable solution from a maintenance and upkeep perspective. So let's get straight into it. 

I am signed up with Durable, afilliate program so I will receive a commission if you decide to sign up for a professional website with their digital marketing platform. You can build a website for free and choose to buy your domain through Durable later. So you have the chance to see if it's suited to your business needs.

Why Should You Choose an AI Website?

AI websites are affordable solutions that simplify running a business

It's a cost-effective website solution to build compared to traditional WordPress websites. It costs $15 a month with hosting and DNS, for a basic Durable AI website such as this website, cookie-ai-marketing.com. 

Whereas WordPress hosting ranges from $3 - $50 dollars per month. And you still need to find a web developer or SEO. Preferably both plus a designer for a logo. Most professional WordPress website's rates start from $500-$1500 and more. I wouldn't charge anything less than R20 000 for a fully SEO-optimised WordPress website. You can find the websites I've built on WordPress in this list:

Step 1: Sign up with Durable to build an AI website

First, you need to sign up on app.durable.co. Provide your email and create a password. Or use Google to log in and make the process easy.

Or you might be prompted first to make your website. The AI will ask you questions about your business, add the details, and explore the AI magic.

Customize Your Website

Now, it's time to customize your website. You can replace text, images, and other elements or re-generate them with the ai. The library is filled with stock images so it's easy to use the drag-and-drop feature to place items where you want them.

Remember to keep your content simple and clear. This will help users navigate your site easily. Also, try to keep SEO best practices in mind when designing and shuffling your content. Always remember:

  • Use buttons for actions like WhatsApp app messages or signing up for something and not for links
  • Add good internal links to the most important pages such as service pages
  • Add keywords naturally in your heading, body, and alt tags 
  • Spread out your keywords naturally 
  • There are no meta descriptions to add in the AI builder
  • Enable the automatic SEO in the backend of durable
  • There is no SEO customization everything is automated but you can edit and adjust the keywords created for you in the builder

Preview and Test

Before publishing your website, preview it. This will show you how it looks on different devices. Make sure everything works correctly.

If you find any issues, go back and make the necessary changes. Testing is crucial to ensure a smooth user experience. Once your site is done you can focus on running your business.

Publish Your Website

Once you are satisfied with your website, it's time to publish it. Click the "Publish" button on the dashboard. Your website is now live.

You can share the link with others and start promoting your website. The best part is you don't have to worry about backups or updates. Everything from a development and upkeep perspective is done. Now you just need to create content and keep it updated and fresh. And promote your website using social media marketing.

No maintenance or Updates

Building a website is not a one-time task. Many people don't realize that. And that's why their WordPress sites don't perform well. Regular maintenance and updates are essential in WordPress. And you need SEO. That's why AI builders are so attractive. No website maintenance is needed. Just content updating. The SEO is automatically integrated into the website builder. I'm testing the SEO performance and will write about it in the next blog.
