I built a website without leaving ChatGPT — and it only took one prompt
I used ChatGPT Sites to turn four book reviews into a polished monthly reading website without writing code. Here’s how it worked and the prompt to try.
I, a book reviewer for various publishers, often struggle to keep track of the numerous books I read each month. When I discovered that ChatGPT could build websites from conversation, I decided to create a website showcasing my book reviews. With just four uploaded reviews, I guided ChatGPT's Codex in creating the site. The process involved a single prompt, making it easy and intuitive.
ChatGPT Sites allows users to create and share a live website or app by simply explaining their desired outcome. I uploaded four Word documents containing my book reviews, and the AI-generated site was assembled using this source material. Although the initial version may not match the user's vision, it serves as a starting point for further customization.
Users can request changes in plain English, such as altering colors, headings, layouts, or adding new features. While ChatGPT Sites has limitations, it offers a simplified alternative to traditional website building, making it ideal for niche, lightweight projects. Sharing options and deployment depend on individual workspace settings, and users are advised to review the final site in a supported browser before publishing.
