Building a professional website has always come with a compromise.
Cloudways AI Website Builder is our answer to that, and it’s now available in public preview.
Now, building your dream website is much simpler. Describe your business in as much detail as you can, and get a fully designed, content-ready WordPress or WooCommerce website, hosted on a real Cloudways managed cloud server.
There is no need to hire a developer, no blank install anxiety, and no closed platform to outgrow.
The Direction We’re Heading
This launch is a first step toward a broader goal: making Cloudways the easiest place to build and host websites using AI.
Website generation and hosting have historically lived in separate worlds. You’d generate a site with one tool, then figure out hosting on your own. We think that gap should not exist. AI Website Builder is the start of closing it for good, with generation and infrastructure working as a single experience from the first prompt.
Why Use an AI Website Builder
Most people trying to build their online presence (usually in the form of a website) land on one of three compromises.
Hire a developer and wait weeks for something you cannot easily update. Every small change, from a new headline to a price update, means another email and another wait.
Struggle through a blank WordPress install with no clear next step. You are staring at an empty dashboard, expected to know what a theme, a plugin, and a page builder are before you’ve written a single word of content.
Or sign up for a closed builder that looks good on day one but locks you in over time. Try to leave later and you find your content trapped in a proprietary format that no developer, host, or export tool can touch.
None of these fit the way small businesses, solo founders, and growing teams actually work. What’s needed is something fast, flexible, and fully yours, built for people who have a business idea and not necessarily a technical background.
What You Get
Cloudways AI Website Builder is designed for users across a range of technical backgrounds. Here is what users get out of their AI Website Builder experience.
A site generated from your words
A comprehensive prompt describing your business produces a complete site, with copy, imagery, and structure shaped around what you actually do. The AI reads the tone and intent behind your words, not just the keywords, so a site described as ‘warm and approachable’ looks and reads differently from one described as ‘sleek and premium’. (Results in customer environments may vary depending on configuration, implementation, and usage. Results and/or savings are not guaranteed. )
Real WordPress underneath
Every site is built on standard WordPress with Gutenberg-native blocks. There is no proprietary builder and thus no chance of a website generated in a locked-in format. That means WordPress developers can work with your site from day one, with nothing to convert or rebuild first.
Full creative control
Once generated, you can adjust colors, refine styles, and personalize the details through a visual editor or natural language prompts. Use the visual editor for precise, hands-on changes, or describe what you want in plain language when you’d rather not click through settings.
Hosting included from the start
Your site isn’t a static preview. It comes to life on a live Cloudways server, so managed security, automated backups, and performance are already in place. You are not looking at a mockup waiting to be deployed. It is a working site on real infrastructure from the moment it is generated.
What to Expect from Cloudways AI Website Builder
The Cloudways AI Website Builder is designed to streamline the traditional friction of getting a site live. Users no longer need advanced technical expertise to get started. They simply describe their vision in a single prompt and immediately receive a fully functioning WordPress or WooCommerce site.
Rather than starting from scratch or struggling through complicated configurations, anyone can rapidly build a polished, professional platform that is backed from day one by Cloudways’ high-performance managed cloud infrastructure.
Beyond the initial speed, the tool pairs instant generation with creative freedom and long-term control. Instead of locking creators into restrictive third-party templates, the builder gives the flexibility to customize layouts, styles, and brand elements to match their exact vision.
Best of all, because every site is built on open-source WordPress, users retain full control over their code, content, and database, giving them the freedom to scale, modify, or move their site whenever they choose.
Built for Any Kind of Site
Cloudways AI Website Builder works across a wide range of use cases, including:
- WooCommerce stores
- Portfolios
- Service businesses
- General business sites
- Non-profits
- Personal and creator brand sites
- Restaurants and local businesses
- Professional services, including consultants, coaches, and agencies
- Real estate listings
- Blogs and content sites
- Community and membership sites
Here’s a quick demonstration of the Cloudways AI Website Builder that shows how it is designed to assist in generating a wide variety of website layouts.
The first step is entering the prompt. We suggest including as much design and brand information as you can into the prompt to help ensure the output matches your expectations.
In response, the AI Website Builder generates your website:
