Websites & AI
Should I build my website with an AI website builder?
For a simple site you need live this week, yes — they're fast, cheap and good enough. For anything you'll run ads to or want found on Google, judge the result, not the tool: the same checks apply whoever or whatever built it.

What are they genuinely good at?
- Getting something live quickly instead of nothing live for months
- A first draft of structure and copy you then fix
- Simple sites — one service, a portfolio, a link page
- Saving money at the stage where you have none to spare
Where do they fall down?
| Problem | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Generic copy | It reads like everyone else's, so it persuades nobody |
| Weak Arabic | Machine Arabic is obvious to a Kuwaiti reader |
| No offer | It describes you instead of asking for the sale |
| Bloated pages | Slow on mobile data, which costs you visitors |
| Lock-in | Some make it hard to take your content elsewhere |
The copy problem is the real one. A builder can lay out a page; it cannot know why your customers choose you.
What should I check before committing?
- Can I register the domain in my own name? A .com is around $10–11 a year at cost
- Can I export my content if I leave?
- How fast does it load on a phone on mobile data?
- Is the Arabic something you'd actually send to a customer?
- Does the page have one clear action — WhatsApp, call, buy?
Does it matter for ads?
Only through the result. You pay for every click that lands on the page, so its speed and clarity change your cost per sale — see what a landing page is and why ads get clicks but no sales.
Canva is worth knowing about here too — see can I build my website in Canva.
