What Is an AI Website Builder?
An AI website builder turns a description of your business into a working website. Instead of choosing a theme and filling in blocks, you say what you need, and the AI writes the copy, picks the layout and builds the pages.
There are two fundamentally different kinds:
Generate a site that lives only on their platform. You pay monthly, and if you stop paying, the site goes down. You never get the code.
Generate a site, host it with us if you like, and download the HTML, CSS and JavaScript whenever you want. You own the code, with no ongoing dependency.
Canvas Builder is the only AI website builder built specifically on the Canvas HTML Template, the Bootstrap 5 template with 75,000+ sales on ThemeForest over a decade.
How Canvas Builder Works
Three steps: describe what you want, watch it build, then publish or download. A single page takes about 3 minutes; a full multi-page site takes 5 to 10 minutes.
Describe your website
Type in plain words in any of 17 languages, or pick from 1,938+ prompt templates across 30 categories. Ask for a full multi-page site, a single page or one section.
Watch it build
Your site is built live in chat. Keep chatting to refine anything. You pay only for what you build, with no page or section limits.
Publish or download
Publish in one click to a free name.cnvs.site address (1 site on the Free plan), connect a custom domain on a paid plan, or download a self-contained ZIP.
- Your copy written for your business and audience
- Images matched to your industry
- A layout that works on phones, tablets and desktops
- Contact forms that work once published
- Clean, semantic HTML with a proper heading order
- A downloadable ZIP you own, with fonts and images bundled
Canvas Builder vs Other AI Website Builders
Canvas Builder differs from Wix ADI, Durable and Framer AI in one important way: besides hosting your site, it lets you download it as Bootstrap 5 HTML. You own the code, can host it anywhere and edit it in any text editor, with unlimited client use and no subscription to build.

Freelance designers
Turn a client brief into a full site proposal in minutes instead of hours, and hand over clean code the client owns.

Frequently asked questions
What is Canvas Builder?
Canvas Builder is an AI website builder. You describe a website in plain language and it designs and builds a complete, production-ready site using the components of the Canvas HTML Template and Bootstrap 5. You refine it by chatting, then publish it on Canvas Builder hosting or download the code and use it anywhere, including for unlimited client projects.
Is Canvas Builder a website builder like Wix or Squarespace?
Partly. Like them, it can host your site: the Free plan publishes 1 site on a name.cnvs.site address, and paid plans add custom domains, contact forms, analytics and an auto-blog. Unlike them, you can always download the full HTML, CSS and JavaScript and host it anywhere, so your site is never locked in.
How much does Canvas Builder cost?
Building and downloading runs on one-time credits, no subscription required. You get 5 free credits on signup. Packs: Starter $9 (30 credits), Pro $29 (120 credits) and Studio $59 (300 credits), and pack credits never expire. Cost scales with the work: a quick section uses fewer credits than a full multi-page site. Hosting is optional: free for 1 site, or from $9 a month for custom domains, more sites and monthly AI credits.
How is Canvas Builder different from using ChatGPT to write HTML?
A general chatbot writes HTML from scratch without an established design system, so the result often needs cleanup. Canvas Builder builds with the Canvas HTML Template's component library, the components behind 75,000+ sales of the template, and it shows you the site live as it builds. The output is polished, consistent and ready to publish.
Can I use generated sites for client projects?
Yes. Unlimited client use is included, with no per-project fees and no attribution requirements. Build sites for as many clients as you need.
Does Canvas Builder work without owning the Canvas HTML Template?
Yes. Downloads are self-contained: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts and images are bundled in the ZIP, so you do not need to buy the template separately. Template owners with active support get 10 bonus credits for verifying their Envato purchase.
What happens if a generation fails?
If a build fails before it changes anything, you are not charged. Turns that wrote output, or that you stopped, are billed for the work they did, because credits are charged on actual usage.
What languages does Canvas Builder support?
Canvas Builder supports 17 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, Russian, Turkish, Polish, Swedish and Greek. Describe your site in any of them and the content is written in that language.
