How to Use ChatGPT to Build a Website: Prompts, Code and Strategy
Which tasks ChatGPT helps with when building a website, examples of useful prompts and what it can't do without a technical team.
By Keyner Trillos· Updated
In short
- ChatGPT speeds up building a website: it drafts copy, proposes structures, generates structured data and code snippets.
- It doesn't replace infrastructure, security, payment integrations or production optimization: those need technical judgment.
- Use it with concrete instructions: who your customer is, what you sell, in which city and what action you want them to take.
Artificial intelligence changed how fast a website is planned and built. Used well, it saves you hours. Used badly, it leaves you with generic copy and fragile code. Here's how to get the most out of it.
4 real uses of ChatGPT when building a website
- Copy that sells: value propositions for the home page, benefits and calls to action tailored to your ideal customer.
- Structured data: schema.org drafts for products, FAQs and local business.
- Interface components: first drafts of cards, carousels or forms.
- Queries and logic: help with database queries or with structuring an integration.
Useful prompts
| Goal | Example prompt |
|---|---|
| Home page | "Write 3 versions of the home page headline and subheadline for a dental clinic in Cúcuta targeting patients aged 25 to 45. Friendly tone, 12 words max per headline." |
| FAQ | "List the 8 questions a customer asks most before buying custom-made curtains, with answers of 40 words max." |
| Structured data | "Generate the LocalBusiness JSON-LD for this company: [name, address, hours, phone]." |
| Google description | "Write 5 descriptions under 155 characters for [company]'s services page, including [city] and an invitation to request a quote." |
What ChatGPT can't do on its own
- Set up the infrastructure, the domain and database security.
- Integrate payments and invoicing reliably.
- Guarantee speed and technical SEO in production.
- Understand your business better than you do.
