Most people with an idea for a website or app hit the same wall pretty quickly. You know what you want it to do – take bookings, show off your work, advertise an event – but turning that into something real has always meant learning to code, wrestling with templates or paying someone else to build it.
AI App & Site Builder gives you another way in. You tell it what you want in plain English, it builds it, and you keep chatting with it until it's right.
But what can you actually make with it? In this post, we’ll look at the websites, web apps and lead capture tools you can build, how different businesses (and a few non-businesses) might use it, and what you get with each package – so you can picture what yours might look like.
Website builder vs coding – where vibe coding fits
If you've ever weighed up a website builder vs coding from scratch, you'll know the trade-off. Coding gives you complete freedom, but it takes time and skill. A traditional builder is quicker, but you're working within the limits of its templates and blocks.
A vibe coding website builder sits somewhere in between. Behind the scenes, the AI writes real code, but you never have to touch it. You just describe what you're after, look at what it builds and ask for any changes.
That's what makes it a no-code website builder rather than a simplified one. You're not limited to a gallery of pre-made layouts, so you can build things a template was never designed for – including web apps that actually do something. And if you or someone on your team does want to get stuck into the code, you can download the full source code at any time. You're never locked in.
If you're new to the idea, our post on vibe coding explains it in more detail.
Websites
Let's start with the classics. If you need a place online for people to find you, learn about you and get in touch, AI App & Site Builder can get you there quickly – often in as little as 5 minutes for a first draft.
Here are a few ideas:
- Small business websites – a home page, services, prices, reviews and a contact page, written and laid out for you from a single prompt.
- Portfolios – a clean, image-led site for photographers, designers, makers and freelancers to show off their best work.
- Landing pages – a focused page for a launch, an event or a seasonal offer, with one clear call to action.
- Menus and info pages – opening times, menus and directions for cafés, pubs and restaurants, easy to update when things change.
- Clubs and community groups – fixtures, news, membership details and photo galleries for sports clubs, societies and local groups.
- Site refreshes – if your current site is looking tired, describe what you'd like it to become and rebuild it from there.
The AI sources relevant images for you as it builds, or you can upload your own. Either way, you're not starting from a blank page.
Web apps
A website tells people you exist. A web app does something for them – and that's something most builders weren't made for.
Because the AI writes working code, you can build tools that take information in, store it and do something useful with it. For example:
- Booking tools – let customers pick a date and time for an appointment, a class or a table, and keep track of who's coming.
- Quote calculators – visitors enter a few details and get an instant estimate, whether that's for a kitchen fit, a cleaning job or a print run.
- Client portals – a private area where clients can log in to see project updates, download files or upload documents.
- Order and enquiry forms – collect pre-orders, custom requests or event sign-ups and store them in one place.
- Internal tools – stock trackers, staff rotas, job logs or simple dashboards that replace the spreadsheet everyone's afraid to touch.
- Directories and listings – searchable lists of members, suppliers, properties or local businesses.
You don't need to know how a database works to build any of these. Just explain what the tool should do and who'll use it, test it like a live site and ask for changes until it works the way you want.
Lead capturing
Not everyone’s ready to buy the first time they land on your site. Lead capture tools give them a reason to leave their details, so you can stay in touch until they are. For example:
- Newsletter sign-ups – a simple form that collects names and email addresses and keeps them all in one place.
- Quizzes – a short “which package suits you?” quiz that recommends the right option based on a few answers, with an email field to see the result.
- Downloadable guides – offer a checklist, price guide or how-to in exchange for an email address.
- Waiting lists – find out how much interest there is in a new product or service before it launches.
Just describe what you want to collect and what visitors get in return, and the AI builds the form, the page and somewhere to store the sign-ups.
Events and personal sites
It’s not all business. AI App & Site Builder works just as well for life’s big moments and for building your own name. For example:
- Wedding websites – the plan for the day, travel and accommodation details, the gift list and an RSVP form that asks about dietary requirements, so you’re not chasing replies by text.
- CV and personal brand sites – a home for your experience, projects and testimonials, whether you’re job hunting or going freelance.
- Event pages – a page for a gig, fundraiser, workshop or meet-up with ticket sign-ups, so you know who’s coming and how many to cater for.
How different businesses might use it
The best way to picture it is to think about your own business. Here's how a few different types of business could put it to work.
Someone testing a business idea
Got an idea but not sure anyone will pay for it? Build a simple version first – a landing page with a waiting list, or a basic working app – and put it in front of real people before you spend months on it. If it takes off, keep building. If it doesn’t, you’ve found out quickly and cheaply.
An independent bakery
A bakery starts with a simple site – who they are, what they bake, where to find them. Then they add a pre-order form for celebration cakes, so customers can choose a size, flavour and collection date without ringing up during the morning rush. Every order lands in one place, ready for the team to plan the week.
A local plumber
A one-person plumbing business needs to look trustworthy and be easy to contact. Alongside a tidy services page, they build a quote calculator that asks a few questions about the job and gives a rough price.
A personal trainer
A PT builds a site that shows off their packages and client results, plus a class booking tool so people can reserve a spot in a group session. Later, they add a members area with workout plans – all from the same account.
A holiday let or B&B
A cottage owner already listed on the big booking sites wants more direct bookings. They build a site with photos of the property, a guide to the local area, an availability calendar they can update themselves and an enquiry form. Returning guests can book directly, and the owner keeps the commission they’d otherwise spend on a booking platform.
A web designer or small agency
Web pros can use it to get a working first version in front of a client fast, then refine it together in the chat. When a project needs something more bespoke, they can export the code and take it further in their own tools. It's a quicker starting point, not a replacement for their skills.
A business with several brands
If you run more than one business or side project, you can build a separate site or app for each and manage them all from one Fasthosts account – a business site for one, a booking tool for another and a portfolio for the hobby that's starting to pay its way.
Built for beginners, with room to grow
If you're searching for the best website builder for beginners, it's worth looking beyond how easy the editor is. The bits that trip people up are usually everything around it – hosting, security, domains and email. With AI App & Site Builder, those are taken care of:
- SSL included – your SSL certificate is set up and renewed automatically, with DDoS protection built in, so visitors see the padlock in their browser.
- A free domain for the first year – choose a .com, .uk, .co.uk or .online domain and we'll cover year one. After that, it renews at the standard price.
- Professional email – an address that matches your domain, like hello@yourbusiness.co.uk, managed from your Fasthosts account.
- Your code, your call – download the full source code whenever you like.
How credits work
Each package comes with AI credits, which the AI uses each time it builds or changes something for you. A quick tweak uses around 1 credit, and bigger changes up to 10. Your credits top back up every month, so you can keep refining as your business grows. Our post on what credits are and how they're used goes into more detail.
Which package suits what you're building?
The right package depends on how many projects you want to run and how much you plan to build and change.
If you're building your first site, Lite gives you everything you need to get online. If you've got a booking tool, a client portal or a few projects in mind, Plus gives you the room to build them all. And if you're running several brands or building something complex, Max means you can build, rebuild and refine without counting.
