Did you know that literally anyone can now easily generate a website in 5 minutes with a few simple steps, for free? In this post, we’ll show you how.

Not long ago, creating a website used to take a lot of work. There were basically two options on the menu — learn the basics of programming language or hire a developer. The first choice is difficult and time-consuming. The latter is expensive.

Today, things have changed. Site owners now have more resources like website builders at their disposal to develop a strong online presence.

More specifically, since some builders started integrating AI, creating websites in 5 minutes is now more than ever, entirely possible. Yes, it’s that fast! We have a free AI tool here at Brizy to help you step up your game and develop your website using AI.

But there are specific requirements you must have ready to make this process as smooth as possible.

Things You Need to Start Creating a Website

One of the prerequisites for creating a website is to consider your website goals.

Some important questions you can ask yourself could be: What’s the purpose of your website? Do you intend your website to be a portfolio of your work, a niche blog, or an online store (ecommerce site)?

How do you want to be known by your audience? That’s your business name.

Creating a website with AI - Prep Checklist:

Clarify goals

Define the primary purpose: portfolio, niche blog, online store, or something else.
List top 3 outcomes you want from the site (leads, sales, bookings, authority).

Brand basics

Decide how you want to be known by your audience. This becomes your business name.
Check name consistency across domain and social handles.

Choose a domain

Pick a domain that is brandable, easy to type, and memorable.
Verify availability and common misspellings.
Example: brizy.io (URL is the technical address that points to your domain).

Select your platform

All-in-one platforms with hosting included: Brizy Cloud or Wix.
Self-hosted option that needs separate hosting and domain setup: WordPress.

Plan hosting and domain timing

Using AI to generate the site? You can secure hosting and the domain later, depending on the platform.
On all-in-one platforms, hosting and domain connection are built into the flow.
On self-hosted WordPress, arrange hosting and register the domain before launch.

Prepare assets

Rough web design direction or moodboard.
Logo files and brand colors.
A few high-quality images or placeholders for hero, products, and team.

Gather business information

Short business description, products or services, pricing notes, contact details.
Optional but helpful: a Google Business Profile or a one-pager with key facts.

Ready to start

Goals defined, name chosen, domain short list created.
Platform decided and asset pack ready.
Proceed to build the first version and iterate after a quick QA pass.

A Step-by-Step Guide on How to build a website with AI in 5 Minutes

Ready to get started? These first three steps will easily walk you through the process of generating a free website in a few minutes.

Let's begin.

Step 1: Choose the right AI website builder

By definition, an AI website builder creates a website in minutes. It asks a few simple questions, such as your business name and description, and then automatically generates web pages for you in minutes. Pages like the homepage, About Us page, and even blog or product sections if needed.

After that, you can make changes with their built-in drag-and-drop editor.

Features to look for

There are already a a handful of these AI website builders on the internet but to find the best one, check for these features:

Free trial
Ease of use
Web design flexibility, as in, there are options for drag-and-drop editing and customizable templates.
Ability to integrate tailored content and designs based on your inputs like business name, description, or contact info.
Built-in hosting
Support for free subdomains or easy connection to custom domains
Reviews
Integration options like marketing platforms
Mobile-friendliness

To save you time from searching the internet, we recommend Brizy AI Website Builder. It doesn’t just check all these boxes but offers even more features. You’ll have access to your media library like images, icons, and other assets. Plus, it’s free to start. The Pro plan comes later if you need advanced features.

But what makes Brizy AI so unique from other tools that make a website in 5 minutes?

Why Brizy AI website builder?

Instead of only chatting you up for details, Brizy AI provides another option to connect to your Google Business Profile (GBP).

Connecting to GBP automatically pulls key business details so you don’t have to enter this info manually to generate a pre-built website. This ensures that your website is built faster, and smarter using accurate business details that reflect your style.

Other advantages of this connecting to a Google Business Profile include:

It ensures your final website reflects the correct business name, address, phone number, hours, etc.
Information on your website will be consistent with other business listings you’re on.
It helps improve your online visibility in local searches on Google and other search engines.
It strengthens your presence in local searches making it easier for nearby customers to find you when you’re online.

Because of this, Brizy AI is also the go-to solution for local businesses like yours that want to attract local customers.

Let’s see it in action in the next steps.

Step 2: Generate the design and content of your website

There are two ways site owners can generate the design and content of their website using Brizy AI Website Builder. First of all, begin by opening Brizy’s official website: brizy.io/ai-website-builder

Then, click the Build Your Website button to start for free. It’s that easy.

By entering your business information

Clicking the Build Your Website button will take you to this page:

On this page, you can enter business details like your business name, description, and contact information as follows:

Enter your business name
Next, you’ll have to identify and select your business category. The category is key because it helps search engines determine what kind of searches your business is relevant for.
Then, you’ll provide your business description, contact details, and email (optional).

The business description should be detailed so the AI can write better web copy.

When you’re you’re happy with your business description, click the Build Website button to create a website with AI.

The second method connects Brizy AI with your Google Business Profile.

Connect to your Google Business Profile

This is the easiest step because you only have to find your business on Google. Brizy makes this possible because of its integration with Google Business Profile. This lets site owners who already have an existing Google My Business account search for their business on Brizy AI prompt and connect.

You won’t have to re-enter business details again as we saw in the previous method.

Instead, if you have a business listed on Google Business Profile, just type in your business’s name in the prompt. Be specific.

Brizy AI will search for the business name and return the result in a drop-down list. Then, you can select the option that’s yours. For this tutorial, we’ll search for Pizzeria Beddia as follows:

Once we’ve selected our option, click the Build Website button to generate your website instantly. It won’t take more than a minute for Brizy AI to build your AI site, choose fonts & colors, add images, generate copy, add titles, and descriptions, and do a lot more to finish the pre-built website.

It generates something like this in the first round:

Step 3: Regenerate key elements of your website

Sometimes, the first website Brizy AI generates might not cut it, and that’s okay. It’s just beginning. Generally, Brizy AI provides several regeneration options to tweak specific parts of, or the entire page at the bottom right corner. You’ll see a star-like AI icon. Click it to open these options:

Start New: This option lets you go back to this prompt and start afresh again:

Titles & Texts: This option re-edits the headings, subheadings, or the entire web copy until it is close to what you consider perfect.
Images: It lets you regenerate new AI images for better ones
Typography: lets you experiment with different font styles and sizes until it matches your brand personality
Colors: this lets you change the site’s color scheme, buttons, etc to reflect your branding.
Entire Page: reorganizes the entire page to make your page flow better.

That’s it!

Here’s what a 5-minute website would look like

After playing around with the regeneration options Brizy AI offers, this is what our 5-minute website looks like:

If you want a simple restaurant website, this pre-built template is enough for a start. But it goes without mentioning that there were good and bad things we noticed when generating our 5-minute website with Brizy AI.

Let’s highlight the good side, first.

Pros

We confirmed that Brizy accurately pulls the required details in a Google Business Profile to create a website. It did so perfectly. Brizy AI accurately captured details like the business name and the phone number as reflected on the official Pizzeria Beddia website.

Other things Brizy AI did well include:

Suggesting high-quality pizza images
Refining elements like images, typography, etc was easy
the site is mobile-friendly
It auto-generated relevant sections of a website. Clicking any of those navbar links leads you to the right section.
It did a nice job translating Beddia’s business description into a good copy.
The business category is accurate.

In short, Brizy AI has no problem capturing the business details it requires to generate a website.

What were the cons, then?

Cons

Brizy AI only captures details like the business name, category, description, phone numbers, and emails it finds on a Google Business Profile. Again, these are the details site owners would normally type in to generate a website if you opt for that option.

It didn’t capture other essential business information like opening hours, service options like outdoor seating, etc.

This could explain why the resulting AI-generated websites appeared more like SaaS websites after multiple regeneration attempts. Instead of a typical restaurant-like website template with menus, order buttons, etc. In addition, if you haven’t logged in, the regeneration attempts are limited.

Does it all end there? Let’s look at some steps you can take to improve the website.

Next steps to optimize your website

So far, we’ve only generated our website. But there are still other upgrades you’ll have to do before it’s ready to go live. These include customizing the design, optimizing the content, additional SEO tools, and setting up essential features like hosting and a custom domain.

Customize the design

This can be step four. Click the edit & publish with Brizy button to take full control of the AI site and make it completely your own. This drag-and-drop editor is capable of inline editing and setting up custom SEO options, titles, and meta descriptions. You can add, remove, rearrange sections, or replace elements such as the stock images and so on.

Optimize the content

You also have to create content that hits the mark. So, what’s the best way to optimize content for user intent? You guessed it right — with the help of AI.

The same drag-and-drop editor has a built-in AI text generator that can help you rewrite most of your site’s copy for your audience.

Refine your branding

AI gets you a strong first draft, but polish comes from consistent branding. Lock your logo sizing, color tokens, and typography scale using Brizy Global Styles so every page feels part of the same system. Replace any generic imagery with brand photos or illustrations that match your tone. Tighten microcopy so headlines, CTAs, and form labels sound like one voice. Save your best sections as reusable blocks, then sweep the site for consistency in buttons, shadows, spacing, and icon style.

Optimize your site for SEO

Turn the AI outline into a clear structure that search engines can understand. Give each page a unique title and meta description, use a single H1 with logical H2 and H3s, and write concise, human friendly copy that includes the keywords your audience actually uses. Add descriptive alt text to images, set canonical URLs where needed, and create internal links between related pages to keep users engaged. In Brizy, set Open Graph images for shareable pages, generate or submit your sitemap, and keep media lean with compressed images and modern formats for faster indexing and better Core Web Vitals.

Make your website mobile responsive

Most visitors will meet your brand on a phone, so perfect the small screen first. In Brizy, adjust per device spacing, font sizes, and visibility until sections stack cleanly and content stays readable. Convert complex multi column layouts into simple vertical flows, ensure tap targets are comfortable at roughly 44 px, and swap heavy backgrounds for lighter images or gradients on mobile. Test real devices for navigation clarity, form usability, and performance, then fix any layout shifts or slow elements before you launch.

Setup hosting and domain

Hosting is usually included within the Brizy AI platform saving you the hassle of finding an external hosting provider. Or deal with complicated server setups.

For your domain, you'll have two options:

Continue to use Brizy Cloud’s free subdomain option (e.g., yourwebsite.brizy.site) if you’re starting on a budget.
Or, connect your custom domain (e.g., yourwebsite.com) for a more professional appearance. In addition, you can buy a domain through registrars like Namecheap, or integrate one you already own.

The platform guides you through the setup process.

Once everything looks good and functions as it should, go ahead and Publish. Here’s what you need to know about this last step:

Do a final review: Check for any last-minute tweaks (like spelling mistakes), ensure all your links are working, and do other modifications.
Preview your website: Most platforms offer a preview feature that lets you see how your site will look once live.
Then, publish: Once you’re happy with everything Publish your website to get it up and running.

Note: Brizy easily integrates with social media and email marketing tools like MailChimp, HubSpot, etc to help you start marketing your site immediately.
