| WordPress has evolved far beyond its blogging roots and can now power almost any kind of site — from personal sites and portfolios to memberships, news sites, and full business websites. | | And with its new AI website builder, designing a website has become even easier — simple text prompts are enough to turn your ideas into a working site for any need.
| | I challenged myself to build 21 different types of websites using this tool. | | Here are the results, along with pro tips for prompting, design, page structure, and more. | | A portfolio website helps share your creative work, whether that's writing, photography, design, video production, or something else. | | You can send it to clients to highlight your expertise and share work samples.
| | Here's the prompt I used with the AI site builder to build a portfolio site:
| | "Create a portfolio website called 'Rochi's Portfolio' to display my long-form writing services for tech companies. There should be five sections on the site: Introduction, Work Samples, Testimonials, How I Work, and Contact Form. Use warm colors, a minimalistic design, and a friendly tone." | | In under five minutes, I got a clean, ready-to-use portfolio site that I could refine with the AI chat by adding content, examples, and customizations. | Key pages and features of portfolio sites | - Work samples: Add a dedicated page showing your work samples, or use a new section in a one-page website to showcase your top portfolio pieces.
- Service details: Add a page or section about the services you offer, including your timeline, working process, and prices (if you're comfortable). This gives a potential client a good idea of what they can expect while working with you.
- Contact methods: Make it clear how visitors can inquire about your services. You can mention your email, or better yet, use a Form block so leads can fill out the necessary details without leaving your website.
You bring the idea — AI makes it real | | Use our AI website builder for free today. | | | | | | | | | A resume website is your CV in digital form. It offers a unique and interactive experience for hiring managers and more room for creativity when showcasing your skills.
| | Here's the prompt I used in WordPress.com's AI website builder to create a resume site:
| | "Build a resume website for Rochi Zalani to showcase my abilities as a content writer. The design should feel professional, minimal, and easy to scan. Include four pages: Home, About, Testimonials, and Contact." | Key pages and features of resume/CV sites | - About page: Your homepage is your resume itself. But beyond that, it's a great way to demonstrate your personality and skills beyond the work-related confines of a CV. You don't need to complicate it — talk about your hobbies, interests, and professional journey.
- Testimonials and endorsements: Ask your previous employers to write a brief testimonial about what it's like working with you. Add a new page or a section on your homepage with their endorsements. This social proof will help you build trust with future employers.
- Contact methods: Use a Form block or include your email on your homepage so prospective employers can easily reach out.
| Tip: Keep your initial prompts detailed and specific, but focused. Always use the AI chat to refine your initial site — add pages, adjust content, request new features, and ask for improvement ideas. | | A personal website can be anything — a blog about your hobbies, a creative outlet, a journal, a place to build your side projects, etc. It's your own corner of the internet and helps you connect with people who share your interests.
| | I wanted to create a personal website documenting my travel experiences and recommendations. | | Here's the prompt I used to create this site:

Share why you began your site, and sprinkle it with some personality.
- Social links: Invite visitors to connect with you beyond your site. Use the Social Icons block to integrate your social media accounts into your website.
| A link-in-bio site is mainly for social media creators who send followers to their bio to get a link, a download, an offer, etc. | | Since most platforms limit how many links you can add to your social media profile, a link-in-bio page is a great workaround. | | You can combine everything in one place and use it to share affiliate links, discount codes, freebies, and more.
| | Here's the prompt I used to create a link-in-bio page:
| | "Create a link-in-bio website called 'Rochi's recs.' Include the following pages: Home, Instagram, TikTok, Top recommendations, and Newsletter. The CTA on the homepage should be to "Stay connected," which leads to the Newsletter page. Use bold colors and eye-catching visuals." | Key pages and features of link‑in‑bio pages | - Top recommendations: Add a separate page for your most-loved product recommendations. This allows your followers to find your favorite items without digging through your social media posts.
- Platform-specific pages: If you have built a presence on multiple social media sites, add separate pages for each platform. Your audience can easily navigate to the profile where they already follow you to find your recommendations.
- Newsletter: Add a newsletter to your site to grow your email list. This helps you deepen your relationship with your social media audience and connect with them beyond the algorithm.

- Lead magnet page: Create a freebie that you can offer to your website visitors as a lead magnet. This lets you collect their emails so you can stay connected with readers and encourage recurring visitors to your site.

| You can also create a business website to sell almost anything — digital products, merchandise, services, etc. | | Your small business needs a site so people can learn about your products, company, or services. It establishes credibility and allows customers to learn more about your brand.
| | Here's the prompt I used to create a site offering cleaning services:

The page should include: a strong hero section with a centered headline and one CTA ('Download the template'), a problem/solution section, what's included, testimonials, and a FAQ. Use clean, modern design with bold accents and minimal distractions." | Key pages and features of landing pages | - Hero section: Add a centered headline with one clear CTA, plus a short value statement that explains what the visitor gets.

| Nonprofit websites can help nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) promote their work, raise funds, recruit volunteers, and provide a company history. | | A dedicated website also makes it easier to organize events and stay connected with your community.
| | Here's the prompt I used to create a nonprofit website for an educational organization:
| | "Create a modern, inspiring website for an educational NGO called 'Education for All.' The site should feel hopeful, community-driven, and trustworthy, with bright, positive colors and warm photography.

9. Restaurant or café website | | A restaurant or café site helps familiarize people with key information, such as your working hours, menu, prices, location, and special offers. | | You can also use it to encourage customers to sign up for a loyalty program, book a table, or order online.
| | Here's the prompt I used to create a site for a Japanese restaurant:
| | "Create a clean, modern website for a Japanese restaurant called Sakura, inspired by minimalist Japanese design and warm, natural textures.

Make the website elegant, mobile-friendly, and visually focused on authentic Japanese cuisine." | Key pages and features of restaurant sites | - Locate us: Have a dedicated page or section with your address so people can locate your restaurant or café easily. If you have multiple locations, create a dedicated page to highlight their precise locations.

10. Educational or course website | | You can also create an educational site, whether it's a knowledge base for a specific topic or a site to inform your customers about business-related topics. | | Course websites allow you to host and sell an educational course, making it interactive through features such as polls or community plugins.

If you're selling a course (or multiple courses), you can create a page to describe the course's content. This helps readers easily navigate your site and get clarity on your offerings.
- Pricing page: If you're selling a course, create a pricing page with your payment policy, refund options, and FAQs. If you're offering tiered pricing, include a table about what each plan includes.

| Having a website for your podcast gives you a dedicated home for your episodes, including which streaming platforms they're available on, and full control over your brand presentation. | | You can also use it to share extra details — transcripts, guest info, sponsor notes, and more — for each episode. | | If you want your podcast to feel more interactive, enable comments and engage with your audience directly on your site.
| | Here's the prompt I used to create a podcast website about a marketer's show:
