Let me say it upfront — building your WordPress website doesn’t need to take weeks. If you’re a founder or solopreneur trying to get your MVP or personal brand online, AI can reduce your website development time by nearly 80%. No exaggeration.
I’ve built dozens of websites — for clients, for side projects, and for myself. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: you don’t need to do everything manually. With the right AI tools, you can move faster, avoid the usual bottlenecks, and still create a website that looks professional and feels like you.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how I use AI to speed up the WordPress website-building process — from planning to content to final launch.
Why Most Founders Waste Time on Their Website
Most founders get stuck on the same challenges:
- Writing copy that sounds right
- Figuring out which pages to create
- Second-guessing layouts
- Rewriting the same paragraph again and again
- Delaying the launch because “it’s not ready yet”
Sound familiar? These delays have nothing to do with your ability. You’re simply missing the right workflow. That’s where AI comes in — not to replace your ideas, but to unblock you and help you move faster.
Step 1: Use ChatGPT to Plan Your Website Structure
Before opening WordPress, start with your sitemap. Ask ChatGPT something like:
“Create a website structure for a personal brand site focused on WordPress and AI tools for startup founders.”
Within seconds, you’ll get a draft structure with pages such as Home, About, Services, Blog, and Contact — sometimes even lead magnet or case study sections. This gives you a clear blueprint to start building immediately. No overthinking, no time wasted.
Step 2: Generate Website Copy in Minutes
This step is where most people lose days. Writing website copy is slow when you start from scratch. With AI, it becomes a fast, collaborative process.
You can generate first drafts for:
- Homepage hero section
- Value propositions
- About page story
- Service descriptions
- Button text and CTAs
- Testimonials (placeholders until you add real ones)
Prompt example:
“Write a homepage intro for a friendly WordPress expert who helps founders launch websites using AI tools.”
Then tweak the tone, shorten sentences, and format it inside Elementor or Gutenberg. What normally takes a weekend can be done in less than an hour.
Step 3: Use AI Image Tools for Visuals
If you don’t have photos or illustrations yet, AI tools make visuals easy. Canva Magic Media, Adobe Firefly, and Freepik’s AI Image Generator can create on-brand illustrations, backgrounds, banners, or icons.
You don’t need to dig through stock sites for the perfect image. AI helps you create one that fits your style instantly.
Step 4: Use Elementor + AI for Layouts and Content Blocks
Elementor now includes built-in AI features that help you create content directly inside the editor. It suggests page headings, rewrites descriptions, and fine-tunes your messaging.
Even more importantly, Elementor’s templates let you:
- Choose a layout
- Replace text with AI-generated content
- Publish faster
This alone can cut your design time in half.
Step 5: Automate SEO Titles, Meta Descriptions, and Blog Ideas
If you plan to blog, AI becomes your best writing partner. I use ChatGPT to:
- Generate blog topic ideas based on my YouTube content
- Create SEO-friendly titles and meta descriptions
- Write full articles
- Suggest internal links between existing content
- Improve readability for Yoast SEO
The more consistent your content, the more trust you build with Google and your audience.
