What AI can do in web design.

Web Design

AI speeds up design, drafts, and ideas — but it can’t build high-performing sites or craft real strategy. For results that grow your business, you still need a skilled web designer for now.

What AI Can Do

AI’s great at getting the ball rolling.

  • Wireframes & Layout Ideas. It can throw out rough drafts for pages, suggest layout structures, or help map out the user journey.
  • Section Drafts. When you need a starting point for a hero, about section, or service breakdown? AI can help you quickly sketch something up.
  • Design Reviews. The likes of ChatGPT and Gemeni can scan your design and flag inconsistent spacing, poor contrast, or areas that could convert better.
  • Copy Inspiration. When you just need to get started, It can suggest headlines or filler text, helping you get a brief structure down.

Used right, AI speeds things up and gives you more time to focus on the parts that really need a human touch.

What AI Can’t Do

This is where people get caught out. AI still has serious limits, especially when it comes to actually building the site.

  • Full Builds? Not Yet. AI-generated sites often come out a mess. Think junk code, broken links, and half-finished pages. You’ll spend more time fixing it than if you’d just built it right from the start.
  • Convincing Copywriting.  AI writes like a robot. It doesn’t know your brand, your tone, or your customers. Without serious editing, the copy just won’t get the results you want.
  • Real Strategy. A good website isn’t just pretty, it’s built to convert. AI can’t understand your goals, your audience, or the subtleties that turns visitors into buyers the way that a human can.

The Bottom Line

AI is a powerful tool, but for now it’s just that: a tool. It’s great for getting started, speeding up drafts, and tightening up designs. But if you want a website that feels professional, performs well on Google, and actually grows your business, it still takes a designer who knows what they’re doing.

We use AI where it makes sense. And we skip it where it doesn’t.
