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.
1. Portfolio website
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.
2. Resume/CV website
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.
3. Personal website
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:
“Create a personal website documenting my travel experiences and recommendations called ‘The Nomad Freelancer.’ Include five pages: Home, About, Budget Trips, Luxury Travel, and Travel Tips. The design should be bright and colorful.”
Key pages and features of personal websites
- About page: Include a page with details about you and your website so readers know what to expect from it. 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.
4. Link‑in‑bio page
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.
5. Blogging website
A blogging website can be a part of a larger business or a personal endeavor.
You can create a blog around your hobbies (similar to a personal site) or focus on a niche topic to build an audience and monetize through ads, sponsored content, affiliate links, and more.
Here’s the prompt I used to create a blogging website about influencer marketing:
“Build a website called ‘Influencing Right’ for influencer marketers looking for pro tips to improve their creator marketing strategy. Include five pages: Home, Research Reports, Sponsored Campaigns, Free Strategy Template, and About. The tone should be warm and friendly.”
Key pages and features of blogging websites
- Category pages: Use different pages to categorize various posts on your blog. For example, if you’re starting a productivity blog, you can create categories around time management, productivity tools, and organization tips. Use the Categories List block on WordPress.com to display the various topics on your site.
- 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.
- About page: Explain why you’re starting the website, and establish your expertise. This helps build trust and lends authority to your posts.
6. Business website
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:
“Create a multipage website for a cleaning business. Add pages: Home, About, Services, Pricing, Testimonials, Contact. Use a clean, modern layout with blue colors and simple, professional but friendly copy.”
Key pages and features of business websites
- Appointment booking: Use a scheduling plugin that allows potential customers to check your availability and book a service appointment through your site.
- FAQ answers: Have a section or page dedicated to answering your customers’ common questions. For example, if you sell merch, answer questions about your refund or exchange policy.
- Business details: Depending on your business model, create a section or website page sharing key product or service information. For example, if you have a brick-and-mortar store, enter your business hours and map location.
7. Landing page
A landing page is a single, focused page designed to drive one action — for example, collecting emails, promoting a product, booking a call, launching something new, or running paid ads.
Landing pages work well when you want a clean, distraction-free layout that guides visitors toward a single CTA.
Here’s the prompt I used to create a high-converting landing page:
“Create a conversion-focused landing page for a digital product called ‘Influencer Briefs,’ which are brief templates used by marketers. 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.
- Offer overview + social proof: Combine your problem/solution, what’s included, and a few testimonials or logos into one streamlined section.
- Conversion elements: Include a simple form or repeated CTA at the bottom of the page, plus a short FAQ to resolve hesitation (questions about refunds, access, delivery, etc.).
8. Nonprofit website
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. Include the following pages and sections: Homepage with a prominent CTA to ‘Get involved,’ Mission Statement page, Programs page, and Impact page. Make the overall site feel credible, community-focused, and mission-driven.”
Key pages and features of nonprofit websites
- Programs and impact pages: Create separate pages for future campaigns and to highlight successful past events. This can help attract more volunteers and donations.
- Mission page: Dedicate a page to explaining what you do, along with a brief company history. Spotlight the founders and the team to help people understand and connect to your company’s values and goals.
- Donate and volunteer page: Use the Donations Form block to accept donations via your site, and use a Form block for people to register their interest in volunteering.
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. Include the following pages: Home, Menu, Reservations, Contact, and Locate Us. The homepage should feature a hero image of signature Japanese dishes, highlighted specials, operating hours, and a clear ‘Reserve Now’ button. 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. You can also use the Map block feature to make your customers’ experience interactive and ease site navigation.
- Menu: Upload a snapshot of your menu in a dedicated page so people can see exactly what you offer, including prices. Include CTA options to book a table and order online on this page as well.
- Special offers: Use the homepage to highlight any special or seasonal offers you’re running. Add a newsletter form or a website chat plugin encourage customers to sign up for regular updates.
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.
Here’s the AI prompt I used to build a site selling a course on YouTube growth:
“Create a modern, conversion-focused website for an online course brand called ‘Freelance Writer Pro,’ which teaches people how to earn money via freelance writing. Include the following pages: Home, Courses, Pricing, Testimonials, and About. The homepage should highlight the main course, student success stories, and a strong CTA saying ‘Earn your first $100 via freelance writing.’ Use bold, energetic colors, clean typography, and visuals. Make the site mobile-friendly and optimized for selling digital courses.”
Key pages and features of educational course websites
- Courses or topics overview: Create an overview page or section that lists the topics of your educational site. 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.
- About page: Use the about page to showcase your expertise in the site topic. Explain why you’re the right person to learn from, highlighting your experience or credentials to build trust.
11. Membership or subscription website
If you sell a membership or subscription of any sort, you need a website to manage it.
This enhances your members’ experience, makes it easy to share exclusive content, and encourages community participation.
Here’s the AI prompt I used to create a membership site for content marketers:
“Build a modern, professional membership website called ‘Content Marketer Collective,’ designed for content marketers who want ongoing training, templates, and community support. Include these pages: Home, Membership benefits, Pricing, Content library, About, Support, and Login. The homepage should highlight the core value — weekly resources, templates, live sessions, and expert feedback. Make the design clean, editorial, and conversion-focused.”
Key pages and features of membership websites
- “Who is it for” section: Add a dedicated section about who your ideal member is. This helps ensure the right people self-select themselves for your subscription, reducing your need to filter applicants manually.
- Membership overview: Include a page or section explaining the benefits members can expect from a membership or subscription. If you have them, add a few testimonials from existing members to build some social proof.
- Special features and member-only content: Offer paid content behind a paywall, run subscriber-only newsletters, and create full membership platforms with user accounts, tiers, dashboards, and restricted content using a membership plugin.
12. Podcast website
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:
“Create a clean, engaging website for a marketing podcast called ‘Marketer Secrets,’ focused on interviewing top marketers about their content strategy and digital marketing insights. Include four pages: Home, Episodes, About, and Sponsor Us. The homepage should have a CTA button saying ‘Listen Now’ or ‘Subscribe on Your Favorite App.’ There should also be a Newsletter block in the second section.”
Key pages and features of podcast websites
- Episode archives: Have a page that contains all your podcast episodes, along with a quick excerpt for each. Use the Podcast Player block to allow your audience to filter and search the episodes (by most recent, most popular, etc.).
- Sponsorship page: Dedicate a page on your site to attract sponsors. Include details such as audience demographics, past results, previous sponsors, pricing, and any testimonials. This gives you a professional link to share with prospects. You can also use specialized sponsorship plugins to enable various features.
- Newsletter block: Include a newsletter block on your site so listeners can sign up for new episode notifications. Offer a free resource to encourage more people to subscribe.
13. News or magazine website
News and magazines need a website to host their content, connect with readers, and achieve wider distribution.
WordPress.com is a great choice to build this type of site because it offers plenty of multimedia embed options, including podcast and video embeds, plus helpful features such as an option to add multiple authors or newsfeed plugins.
Here’s the AI prompt I used to create a magazine website:
“Create a bright, engaging website for a digital magazine called ‘Nourish Weekly,’ focused on nutrition, healthy eating, and science-backed wellness tips. Include five pages: Home, Articles, Healthy Eating, About, and Previous Issues. The homepage should feature top stories, trending topics, a featured expert column, and a clear ‘Read the Latest Issue’ CTA. Use a fresh, editorial design with clean typography, soft colors, and plenty of white space.”
Key pages and features of news and magazine websites
- Topic hubs: Use categories to organize your news or magazine content so it’s easy for readers to navigate your website and find exactly what they need.
- Author widget: Author widgets allow you to seamlessly indicate authorship and establish expertise. You can also use it to give credit to experts, along with pullquote blocks to highlight key quotes.
- Archives: Include an archives page so readers can quickly find old issues or news pieces. It’s also a good idea to use a search bar plugin so visitors can easily search through large archives.
14. Community forum website
Community forum websites help you gather a group of people with similar interests on one site.
You can use it to facilitate discussion, share knowledge and updates, and enable collaboration among members.
Here’s the AI prompt I used to create a community forum website centered around fitness:
“Create a community forum website called ‘Female Fitness Forum,’ where women can discuss workouts, nutrition, weight loss, strength training, and overall fitness. Include five pages: Home, Forum, Guidelines, Contact, and About. The homepage should have a CTA like ‘Join the Community.’ Use a clean, energetic design with easy navigation, mobile-friendly layouts, and features like search, tags, upvotes, and notifications.”
Key pages and features
- Community guidelines: Have a page or section where you share the guidelines for joining your community and any member rules to follow once you enter the forum. Your audience will know what to expect, and moderation rules promote healthy, respectful communication.
- Interactive features: Allow members to interact with community posts using features such as liking, commenting, and sharing. You can use vote, poll, and upvote blocks to achieve this on WordPress.com sites.
- Discussion boards: Add discussion boards on your site using community plugins. Doing this for various subjects allows members to interact with each other on the topics they’re interested in.
15. Photography gallery website
Photographers can use a website to showcase their work with full creative control and create a professional home for their portfolio.
It also serves as a central hub for bookings, inquiries, and service packages.
A site can host high-resolution galleries, content carousels, and organized albums, giving your photos the space and quality they deserve.
Here’s the AI prompt I used to create a website for a wedding photographer:
“Create a romantic, elegant website for a wedding photographer called ‘Captured Promise Weddings.’ Include four pages: Home, Gallery, Packages, and Contact. The homepage should feature a clear ‘Book Your Date’ CTA button. Use a soft, timeless aesthetic with warm tones and refined typography.”
Key pages and features of photography gallery websites
- Galleries: Add a dedicated page on your site for your photos, dividing them into categories for easy browsing. For example, a wedding photographer can use subcategories such as engagement or candid. Use photo gallery plugins to make organizing your portfolio easier.
- Pricing and FAQs: Include a page or section about your pricing — how you charge (by hour, project, etc.), “starting at” ranges if your price depends on project scope, and a list of services you offer. Add an FAQ section to answer common questions such as turnaround times for photos, what clients can expect during a session, and how they can help you succeed.
- Testimonials: Feature testimonials from previous clients to build trust and social proof. You can choose how you display these reviews on your site via WordPress.com.
16. Recipe/food website
If you create recipe or food content, a website gives you far more control and a better user experience than social posts.
A food blog lets you organize recipes, add clear, step-by-step instructions and videos, and offer extras (such as printable recipe cards).
Here’s the AI prompt I used to create a vegan recipe website:
“Create a bright, inviting vegan recipe website called ‘Plantful Kitchen,’ focused on sharing healthy plant-based recipes for busy moms. Include five pages: Home, Recipes, Meal Prep, Contact, and About. The homepage should highlight featured recipes, trending dishes, seasonal picks, and have a clear CTA button ‘Browse all recipes.’ Use a clean, fresh aesthetic with soft greens, warm neutrals, and easy-to-read layouts.”
Key pages and features of recipe websites
- Recipe pages: Use a consistent format across all your recipes so readers can build familiarity with the structure and your work. Recipe plugins give you plenty of ready-to-use template options.
- Social sharing plugins: Make it easy for yourself to promote your website and recipes to social media, directly from your site. On WordPress.com, you can instantly reshare (or schedule a reshare) to any of your social media accounts.
- Like button: Add a like button to all your recipe pages so you can find out which recipes are the most popular. This can help you pinpoint what your audience loves.
17. Event/conference website
If you are hosting an event or conference, a site allows you to build a central hub for all information and updates, instead of attendees relying on scattered social media posts.
Having a dedicated website also makes it easy for participants to register and sign up for future events.
Here’s the AI prompt I used to build a website for a marketing event:
“Create a sleek, high-energy conference website for a marketing event called ‘Marketing Momentum Summit 2026’ held in London for content marketers. Include four pages: Home, Speakers, Tickets, and Sponsors. The homepage should feature a bold hero section with event dates (31 Jan–2 Feb), location, and a clear ‘Get your ticket now’ CTA button.”
Key pages and features of event websites
- Tickets and pricing: Add one page for all ticket details, including pricing tiers, refund policy, venue information, and cancellation charges. Use the Payments block on WordPress.com to collect ticket fees right from your site.
- Agenda and schedule: Dedicate one section of your homepage to the agenda and schedule of the event or conference. Share details about what you’ll discuss each day and at what time. This helps attendees plan their day accordingly.
- Countdown section: Use the Event Countdown block on your homepage, which updates automatically, to garner excitement among your attendees.
18. Health/fitness website
Fitness professionals benefit immensely from having a site — it can become a singular place to update your class schedule, host memberships, upload free workouts or meal plans, and streamline booking.
Here’s an AI prompt I used to create a fitness website for a pilates instructor:
“Create a calming, elegant website for a Pilates instructor called ‘The Pilates Room.’ Include five pages: Home, Classes, About your instructor, Group sessions, and Contact. The hero image of the homepage should feature a soothing image of a woman doing pilates on a reformer and a clear CTA button ‘Book a session.’ Use a clean, airy design with neutral colors and gentle typography.”
Key pages and features of fitness websites
- Calendar block: Use a Calendar block on your scheduling or classes page to display your availability. You can combine this with a Table block to show your class schedule if you offer group classes or a set schedule for 1:1 sessions.
- Members-only area: If you offer subscriptions to your visitors, you can create members-only areas using subscriber logins and paywall plugins. These features allow you to host your free and paid content under one site.
- About page: Add a detailed about page with your credentials and certifications. Put a spotlight on your fitness journey to build trust.
19. Author/book website
A polished author website builds credibility with agents, media, and publishers. It also gives you a direct channel to reach readers without relying on third-party algorithms.
You can use it to promote events you’re part of and publish additional writing, such as blog posts or short stories.
Here’s the AI prompt I used to create a website for a young adult (YA) fiction writer:
“Create a bold, character-driven author website for Rochi Zalani, a YA fiction writer. Include five pages: Home, Books, About, Events, and Blog. The CTA button on the homepage should say ‘Get the first chapter for free.’ Use an atmospheric, youthful design with strong typography.”
Key pages and features of author websites
- Freebies: Offer a free chapter of your book, a sneak peek into your next book, or some other incentive. Use this freebie to build your email list, establishing a direct line of communication with your readers.
- Books page(s): Dedicate one page to each book, including available purchasing options such as via Kindle, Amazon, or local, independent bookstores. You should also add a synopsis for each book, along with a few reviews to build excitement.
- Events page: If you’re doing book signings, hosting events, or speaking at conferences, use a page on your site and update it regularly. Upload recordings of past events if you can — this allows people to see what an event might look like.
20. Travel guide website
A travel recommendations website boosts visibility through SEO and gives you space for long-form guides and monetization.
You can also offer downloadable resources, such as itineraries and checklists.
Here’s the AI prompt I used to build a travel guide site:
“Create an inspiring, easy-to-navigate travel guide website called ‘Wander With Rochi’ — focused on destination guides, itineraries, and travel tips. Include five pages: Home, Destinations, Blog, Contact, and About. The homepage should highlight featured locations, trending guides, a ‘Start planning’ CTA button, and a search bar. Use an artsy, editorial design with travel-friendly visuals.”
Key pages and features
- Strong search and filtering: Make it easy for fellow travelers to seek recommendations from you by using a search bar and filter plugins. If you want to go even further, create quizzes that readers can take to determine the type of traveler they are (adventurous, offbeat, relaxed, etc.) and customize the content they see.
- Map block: Use the Map block to highlight the exact locations you recommend. It makes it easier for your audience to view — and navigate to — those places directly from your site.
- Table of contents: If you’re writing a long and detailed guide about a place, add a Table of Contents block at the top so readers can easily jump between sections and find exactly what they need.
21. Music/band website
Musicians and bands can use their website to keep their audience informed about upcoming shows, sell tickets, and organize their albums in one place.
A website also makes it easy to build a direct connection with fans and connect with the press.
Here’s the AI prompt I used to build a music website:
“Create an indie, atmospheric website for a musician called Rochi Zalani. Include five pages: Home, Tours, Music, Press, and Contact. The homepage should feature cinematic visuals, a featured track, and a ‘Listen now’ CTA. Use a moody, artistic aesthetic with soft colors, expressive typography, and a mobile-first layout.”
Key pages and features
- Music players: Use music player plugins so visitors can easily access and play your songs directly from your website. This removes the friction for someone encountering your work for the first time.
- Tour page: If you’re on tour now or in the future, add a page for visitors to see when you’re performing in their city. It’s also a great idea to include a Subscribe block so people can sign up for notifications when you visit (or revisit) their city in the future.
- Merch store: You can sell merch such as t-shirts, posters, and hoodies using your site. Use the Payments block to receive payments directly.
