Create a portfolio of cool and creative websites without having to write your own code.

You don’t need to be a master of HTML, CSS, or jаvascript to create a website. You just need ChatGPT! With proper prompts, anyone can create stunning sites by simply describing what they want in plain English and letting ChatGPT’s powerful AI take care of the code. If you have an idea, then ChatGPT—and this essential guide—can help you do the rest.

Inside Build a Website with ChatGPT you’ll learn the important skills of AI-assisted web programming, such as:

Crafting effective prompts to generate HTML, CSS, and jаvascript
Converting text into images with DALL-E integration
Building navigation bars, image galleries, and contact forms
Deploying fully functional sites to the web for free
Customizing the generated code for unique sites

Build a Website with ChatGPT is a web development beginner's guide with a difference. It teaches you exactly what you need to know to start building websites in an AI-first world. That means no time wasted memorizing tricky HTML, CSS, or jаvascript! You’ll design and develop a portfolio of projects including a personal homepage, photo gallery, and online journal—all with your new AI assistant writing your code.

about the book
Build a Website with ChatGPT teaches you zero-coding web development utilizing powerful generative AI tools like ChatGPT. If you can open a web browser, you’re ready to start building—absolutely no coding experience required. Inside, you’ll learn the high-level coding concepts that let you check and perfect AI output, prompting skills that deliver the exact code you need, and how to properly deploy your site to the web—for free! Annotated code samples and advice on code customization give you the perfect balance of understanding and convenience. Plus, you’ll get access to a tried-and-tested repository of prompts and working code.

In the Chapter 1, my aim is to demystify ChatGPT and make it seem a little less magical and a whole lot more practical. In the next few pages, you get a short explanation of the basics of ChatGPT; an overview of the kinds of pages you can create with ChatGPT’s help (and, for balance, some notes on the kinds of pages you can’t create); and a behind-the-scenes and mercifully nontechnical tour of how you can use ChatGPT to perform the seemingly magical — but in reality, merely mathematical — feat of taking a simple, typed request and turning it into a full-fledged, ready-to-be-surfed web page.

The three main types of web page code — HTML, CSS, and jаvascript — reside on a steep learning curve, a slope that for many people is too onerous a climb when all they want is to put up a page or three for themselves or for a team, hobby, project, charity, or event. If you want to create a presence on the web but have either been disappointed in the available prefabricated solutions or shuddered at the thought of learning HTML, CSS, and jаvascript, all is not lost because now you can "hire" (for free if you prefer) an assistant to generate web page code to your exact specifications. That assistant is ChatGPT, which sits well on the other side of the web development learning curve and is ready, willing, and very able to help you turn your web page vision into web page reality. By providing the model with a few simple, plain-English instructions, you can cajole ChatGPT into translating those instructions into working web page code. You then upload that code to the web (ChatGPT can even help you with that step) and you're done!
