Description
Students describe a website in plain language, let AI build the first draft, then fix, finish and publish it, ending the course with live web addresses they can share. No coding and no design background required.
Each student picks one real project in the first class: a small business, a college society, a cause, or their own portfolio. The same project is then built across four different AI website tools, so students see how the same brief produces four very different sites, and learn why the brief and the prompt matter more than the tool.
Why four platforms and not one
Every AI website builder rations AI generation on its free plan. Build a whole course on one platform and a student who uses up their allowance in week one is locked out of the rest of it, sometimes for weeks.
This course is built so that cannot happen. Students work across four routes, each with a different limit, including one route with no generation limit at all. The transferable skill is the method (brief, prompt, generate, fix, publish), which works on whichever tool a student has access to afterwards.
| Platform | What it is for | Free-plan limit | Publishes to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Framer AI | Full AI site generation | Free AI credits reset daily | framer.website address |
| Wix AI | AI site generation + editor | Free site carries Wix ads | Wix subdomain |
| Canva Websites | Design-led pages | AI generation rationed; design tools are not | canva.site address |
| AI chat + free host | Generates editable HTML | No generation limit | Free host subdomain |
| Google Sites | Backup, no AI at all | Unlimited, never blocked | Google subdomain |
Free-plan terms change often. Limits are checked before each cohort, and Google Sites is kept as a never-fails backup so every student can publish regardless.
Course Features
- Live websites, not mock-ups. Students finish with more than one published site at real, shareable web addresses.
- Nothing depends on a single tool. No student can be blocked by one platform running out of AI credits. Four routes, four different limits.
- A route with no limits at all. One class is spent generating a page in a free AI chat and publishing it on a free host, with no generation cap of any kind.
- Published by the second class. The first live site goes up in Class 2, so students have something to show from the start.
- A real comparison, not a tour. The same brief built four ways, then compared on speed, control, limits and cost.
- A skill that outlives the tools. Writing a brief and a prompt transfers to any AI builder, including ones released after the course.
- Recordings for every session. Every class is recorded, so a student who loses connection can catch up and still submit on time.
- No subscription required. Free accounts throughout. No paid subscription is needed at any point.
Course Outline

How AI Website Builders Work + Your Site Brief
What these tools actually do: you describe a site, the AI generates a first draft, you fix what it got wrong. Writing a site brief (one audience, one action, four to five pages) and turning it into a prompt that works. Setting up free accounts on all platforms together in class.
Assignment A1: Site brief and written prompt for their own project.
-
First Build: Framer AI
Feeding the Class 1 prompt into Framer and generating a complete site. Reading the result critically: what the AI got right, what it invented, what has to go. Editing text, images, sections and spacing, then publishing to a free framer.website address.
Assignment A2: A published Framer site, plus notes on what the AI got wrong.
-
Second Build: Wix AI and Canva Websites
Running the same brief through two more generators and comparing what comes back. Wix's AI builder and its free published site; Canva Websites for design-led pages and a free canva.site address. Why one prompt produces three different sites, and what that teaches about writing the prompt better.
Assignment A3: The same brief rebuilt on a second platform and published.
-
The No-Limits Route: AI Chat to Live Website
Generating a complete web page in a free AI chat assistant. Opening the generated HTML and editing it directly to change text, colours and sections. Publishing it by drag-and-drop on a free static host, with no generation limit of any kind.
Assignment A4: An AI-generated, hand-edited web page published live.
-
Polish, Compare and Launch
Choosing their strongest site and finishing it properly: mobile view, page titles and descriptions, favicon, and every link checked. A side-by-side comparison of the four routes on speed, control, limits and cost. Each student presents their live site.
Final Project: Best site polished, published and presented.
Four assignments plus one final project. Students publish their first live site in Class 2, not at the end.
Why Should You Enroll in this Course?
Hand them a request like "we need a website for the shop" and they can deliver a working one that week. A saleable skill that can turn into freelance work long before graduation
Learn judgement: AI generates a site in thirty seconds; the hard part is spotting invented details, generic copy and layouts that collapse on a phone, and fixing them
An honest look at where these tools stop: what free plans allow, what an upgrade buys, and when writing the page yourself is faster
