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 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

Inside Build a Website with ChatGPT 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.

About the Technology:
You can build amazing websites even if you don’t know HTML, CSS, and jаvascript. Just describe what you want in plain English, and let ChatGPT take care of the gnarly details! This book guides you step-by-step as you create user-friendly forms, interesting graphics, and interactive web pages using nothing but AI and your imagination.

ChatGPT is genuinely useful for turning text instructions into programming code. In particular, ChatGPT is good at converting text into the code required to construct a web page. This is extraordinary, and it means now anyone can build a presence on the web, even if they can’t or don’t want to learn the intricacies of web development.

There are, however, a couple of catches to this newfangled way of getting on the web. First, yes, ChatGPT is very good at turning text into web page code, but only if you know how to formulate that text with detailed instructions for ChatGPT to follow. Second, even once ChatGPT has successfully generated all the code you need for a web page, you still need to save that code somewhere and then get it on the web somehow.

Those may seem like high hurdles to jump, but that’s where this book comes in. In the pages that follow, you learn not only how to instruct ChatGPT like a pro to get exactly the web page you want but also how to save that code and then deploy it to the web for all the world to see. Welcome, then, to the brave new world of building your very own website with the help of ChatGPT.

About the Book:
Build a Website with ChatGPT shows you how to make websites in an AI-first world—no experience required! You’ll start with the basics of generating pages with ChatGPT, and by the end of the second chapter your first site will be up and running. Author Paul McFedries then shows you how to add interesting text and graphics, forms for user input, and even custom CSS to give your pages some pizzazz. As you go, you’ll expand your new AI skills to create photo galleries, portfolios, catalog pages and more.

What's Inside:
Writing effective prompts to create code, text, and graphics
Adding navigation bars, image galleries, and contact forms
Deploying your sites to the web for free
Adding your unique touches to AI-generated pages

Who should read this book:
This book is aimed first and foremost at anyone who wants to build a presence on the web, whether that presence is a humble home page, a page to show off a hobby or interest, or a website for a book club, event, organization, or team. More specifically, I aimed this book at three types of readers:

Someone who doesn’t know how to code web pages and doesn’t want to learn—The specifics of web development have long been a barrier to many people establishing a presence on the web. This book aims to show how ChatGPT changes all that for people with no interest in learning how to code.

Someone who doesn’t know how to code web pages and wants to learn—This book is mostly concerned with the instructions you have to provide ChatGPT to get it to generate the web page code you want. However, I also give some background about each of the web page code technologies used in the book. Combine that background knowledge with this book’s hands-on approach to projects, and you’ll learn quite a bit about web development.

Someone who knows how to code web pages—Even if you already know at least the basics of web development, you can use ChatGPT to speed up your development work and can delegate some of the more tedious tasks to ChatGPT. This book shows you the prompts you can use to cajole ChatGPT into being your programming assistant.
