You have a business, a brilliant idea, or a product worth selling, and every day without a website is a day of lost customers. That is the honest truth.
The good news? You can build a website with AI in minutes using KNOWN AI, no coding, no designers, no waiting weeks for a developer to reply to your email.
Just describe what you want, and watch it appear.
KNOWN AI is here to help you go from a blank screen to a fully live brochure or e-commerce website using the power of AI, with this step by step process.
We’ll also show you the features that make it faster, safer and smarter than almost anything else on the market, and why thousands of business owners are switching over.
Best of all, you can try it for free today, no credit card required.
What Is KNOWN AI and Why Does It Matter
KNOWN AI is an agentic website builder that uses natural language prompts to design, write and launch complete websites.
Instead of dragging blocks around a clunky editor for hours, you simply tell KNOWN AI what your business does, who it serves and what you sell.
Our AI platform then generates your website layout, copy, photo-realistic images and UX/UI structure automatically.
This matters because traditional website builders were never actually built for speed.
They were built for control, which sounds good until you realise most business owners do not have three afternoons free to fiddle with fonts and margins.
KNOWN AI sits at the intersection of speed and quality. It is not a stripped-down “quick and dirty” tool.
It produces polished, professional brochure sites and full e-commerce stores, ready to sell, ready to rank, ready to impress.
Step by Step: Building Your Website with KNOWN AI
Step 1: Describe Your Business in Plain English
Head to www.knowndesign.ai and start with a simple prompt. No technical skills required.
Just describe your business the way you would explain it to a friend.
Example:“I run a boutique candle shop in Bristol and want an e-commerce store with a warm, cosy feel. My current target audiences are locals, and range from young teenagers to middle-aged professionals that love quirky hand-made Soy candles in a variety of fragrances and colours. I’d like to expand my 10-year-old business with a modern e-commerce shop to reach more candle lovers in the United Kingdom. The design style is quirky, playful, hand-crafted and original. I need a Homepage that introduces people to my hand made candle business with a brief introduction and history, A shop overview of my candle range split between sizes, colours and fragrances and full e-commerce checkout process that partners with any payment gateway and accepts all major credit cards and instant EFT, About Page that explains my history and experience with CTA’s that link to the shop and promote ‘buying hand made candles online’, Contact page with Google Map for location and address along with all my contact details and a contact form for candle enquiries.”
That is genuinely enough to get started.
Step 2: Choose Brochure or E-commerce
The more specific and detailed your prompt is, the faster KNOWN AI builds exactly what you imagined!
Tell KNOWN AI whether you need a brochure site to showcase your services, or a full e-commerce store with product listings, checkout and payment integration.
The AI adapts the entire structure, navigation and content strategy based on your choice.
Step 3: Let the AI Generate Your Site
Within minutes, KNOWN AI builds out your homepage, service or product pages, about section and contact forms.
It writes natural-sounding copy tailored to your industry, generates original photo-realistic AI imagery matched to your brand mood, and structures everything for search engines from the very first click.
Step 4: Refine with Vibe Coding
If you do not love a section, simply describe the change you want in plain language, such as “make the hero section bolder” or “add a testimonials slider”, and watch the AI rebuild it instantly.
This is vibe-coding in action: no code, no developers, just conversation.
Once you are happy, publish directly. Your site goes live on fast, cloud-based, secure hosting built for reliability, meaning your brochure or e-com store is ready for real customers the same day you started.

Why This Matters in the AI Era
Search engines and AI overviews are changing how customers find businesses.
It is no longer just about ranking on Google, it is about being the answer an AI assistant gives when someone asks “who is the best candle shop in Bristol” or “where can I buy handmade candles online”.
Websites need to be built with structure and clarity that both humans and AI systems can understand instantly.
KNOWN AI builds this in from the very first prompt. Every page is structured for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) simultaneously, meaning your business is visible wherever people, or the AI tools they use, are looking.
Waiting to modernise your online presence is not a neutral choice anymore.
Every week without an AI-optimised website is a week your competitors might be capturing the customers who should have found you first.

The perfect AI website prompt includes five things: Your business type, your target audience, your goal, your preferred style, and the specific pages and functionality or features that you need.
The more specific you are, the faster KNOWN AI builds exactly what you imagined.
What Is an AI Website Prompt and Why Does It Matter?
When you build a website with KNOWN AI, you don’t need to touch a single line of code, struggle with templates, or hire a web designer.
You simply describe your website in plain English and our AI builds it for you in minutes.
That description is your prompt.
Think of it like giving instructions to the world’s fastest, most talented web designer. The clearer and more detailed your brief, the better the result.
A vague prompt like “make me a nice website” will produce something generic.
A specific, well-structured prompt will produce a professional website that looks and feels like it was built precisely for your business.
The global AI-powered website builder market is driven by small businesses, choosing speed and affordability without sacrificing professionalism.
The difference between a business that gets a great result and one that doesn’t almost always comes down to the quality of the initial prompt.
This guide shows you exactly how to write one.
The Five Elements of a Perfect AI Website Prompt
Every great KNOWN AI prompt includes these five elements.
Miss one and the AI fills the gap with a generic assumption.
Include all five and the result will feel tailor-made.
1. Your Business Type and Industry
Tell the AI exactly what kind of business you run.
Be specific. Don’t just say “a shop.”
Include as much detail as possible like “a handmade candle shop” or “a family-run Italian restaurant in Bristol.”
2. Your Target Audience
Who is your ideal customer?
A B2B SaaS company targeting decision-making HR directors needs a completely different website to a yoga studio targeting local Mums.
The more details you provide, the better the AI can deliver.
Specify the kind of business, the purpose of the website, and any unique elements you’d like to see.
3. Your Primary Goal
What do you want visitors to do when they land on your site?
Book a call?
Buy a product?
Download a brochure?
Fill in a contact form?
Every design decision the AI makes, from the layout and button placement, to calls to action (CTA) flows from this single answer.
4. Your Style and Brand Feel
Describe the look and feel you want.
You can reference colours, moods, or even other websites you admire.
Words like “clean and minimal,” “bold and confident,” “warm and approachable,” or “professional and corporate” give the AI powerful creative direction.
5. Your Required Pages and Features
List the specific pages and features your site needs.
A homepage and contact page is the minimum.
Should you also have a services page? A portfolio page? A product catalogue? A booking system?
State your exact requirements clearly.
The KNOWN AI Prompt Formula
Here is the simple formula we recommend for every prompt you write in Known Design AI:
“Create a [style] website for [business type] targeting [audience].
The primary goal is [goal].
Pages needed: [list pages].
Features needed: [list features].
Brand feel: [describe aesthetic].
Colour palette: [colours or direction].”
Simple. Clear. Effective.
Let’s now see it applied to the two most common website types: Brochure websites and E-commerce websites.
Part One: How to Prompt for the Perfect Brochure Website
A Brochure website is a digital shop window.
Its job is to tell visitors who you are, what you do, why you’re the best choice, and how to get in touch.
Think of it as your 24/7 sales representative that’s always available, always on-brand, never calling in sick.
Brochure websites are ideal for:
Service businesses (Consultants, Accountants, Solicitors, Therapists, Cleaners.)
Trades and local businesses (Plumbers, Electricians, Builders, Landscapers.)
Professional practices (Dentists, Physios, Architects, Estate agents.)
For a brochure site, your prompt needs to emphasise trust signals, clear service descriptions, and an obvious contact or booking mechanism.
The AI needs to understand not just what you do but why a visitor should choose you over your competitors.
Key things to include in a brochure website prompt:
Your location (Local SEO depends on it.)
Your core services or specialisms.
Your unique selling points (What makes you different?)
The trust signals you want featured (Years in business, accreditations, testimonials, awards.)
How you want visitors to get in touch (Call, form, booking link)
Prompt Example: “Create a professional, trustworthy website for a family-run electrical company in Manchester with 20 years of experience. Target audience: homeowners and small business owners in Greater Manchester. Primary goal: get visitors to call or request a free quote. Pages needed: Home, Services (rewiring, consumer units, EV chargers, PAT testing), About Us, Testimonials, Contact. Brand feel: reliable, safe, local, established. Colours: navy blue and white with yellow accents. Include a prominent phone number in the header, a Google reviews badge, and a ‘Get a Free Quote’ button on every page.”
Example 2: Professional Services Firm
Prompt Example:“Create a clean, authoritative website for a boutique HR consultancy based in London targeting SMEs with 10 to 250 employees. Primary goal: generate enquiries for a free 30-minute discovery call. Pages needed: Home, Services (HR strategy, employment contracts, disciplinary support, TUPE), About, Case Studies, Blog, Contact. Brand feel: professional, calm, modern, trustworthy. Colours: slate grey, white, and a deep teal accent. Include a calendar booking widget on the Contact page and a clear headline that communicates the value proposition above the fold.”
Example 3: Creative Freelancer
Prompt Example:“Create a portfolio website for a freelance brand photographer based in Edinburgh targeting lifestyle and food brands. Primary goal: attract enquiries for commercial shoots. Pages needed: Home, Portfolio (food, lifestyle, product categories), Services and Pricing, About, Contact. Brand feel: editorial, elegant, film-inspired, minimal. Colours: warm cream, charcoal, and dusty rose. Feature a large full-width hero image, a horizontal scroll gallery, and a contact form with a project enquiry brief.”
Pro Tips for Brochure Website Prompts
Part Two: How to Prompt for the Perfect E-Commerce Website
Lead with your location:
Known AI will incorporate local SEO signals into your content but only if you tell it where you are.
“A plumber in Birmingham” produces a very different site to “a plumber.” Local search intent is some of the highest-converting traffic on the web.
Name your trust signals explicitly:
Don’t assume the AI will invent credibility for you.
If you have been trading for 15 years, have 200 five-star reviews, or hold a specific accreditation, say so in the prompt.
The most successful AI builders work iteratively, so start with your essential purpose and two or three must-have features, then refine from there.
One clear call to action per page:
Tell the AI what single action you want each page to drive.
A homepage should drive enquiries.
A services page should drive clicks to contact.
Confusion kills conversions.
Describe your ideal client, not your business:
The more precisely you describe who your website is for, the better the AI calibrates the language, tone, and layout to appeal to that person.
An E-commerce website has one job above all others: sell.
Every design decision from layout, image placement, button colour and product page structure to checkout flow exists to move a visitor from browsing to buying as smoothly as possible.
E-commerce prompts require more detail than brochure prompts because the stakes are higher and the complexity is greater.
A weak e-commerce prompt produces a generic shop that fails to convert.
A strong one produces a store that works hard for your business around the clock.
E-commerce websites built with Known AI are ideal for:
Product-based businesses selling physical goods.
Digital product sellers (courses, templates, downloads.)
Subscription box businesses.
Artisan makers and independent brands.
B2B wholesalers needing a trade portal.
What Makes a Great E-Commerce Prompt?
For an e-commerce site, your prompt needs to convey:
What you sell?: With enough detail that the AI structures the right product categories.
How you sell?: One-off purchases, subscriptions, bundles, digital downloads.
Who buys from you?: Their demographics, motivations, and what drives their purchase decision.
The conversion journey?: How a first-time visitor moves from landing page to checkout.
Trust and social proof?: Reviews, guarantees, security badges, returns policy prominence.
Start with detailed prompts, then refine through iteration.
Most AI builders let you regenerate sections or request modifications.
E-Commerce Website Prompt Examples
Example 1: Artisan Product Brand
Prompt Example:“Create a premium e-commerce website for a small-batch skincare brand selling natural face oils and serums to women aged 28 to 45 who prioritise clean beauty and sustainability. Primary goal: drive product sales and build a subscriber email list. Pages needed: Home, Shop (all products), Individual Product Pages, Our Story, Ingredients and Values, Blog, Contact. Features needed: product filtering by skin type, a bundle builder, email capture popup with a first-order discount, a reviews section on every product page, free shipping threshold banner, and a sticky cart icon. Brand feel: spa-like, luxurious, earthy, and organic. Colours: warm off-white, sage green, and terracotta. Style: editorial photography, generous white space, minimal sans-serif fonts.”
Example 2: Fashion and Apparel
Prompt Example:“Create a modern fashion e-commerce website for an independent womenswear brand targeting style-conscious women aged 20 to 38 in the UK. Primary goal: sell clothing and grow an Instagram-driven audience. Pages needed: Home, New In, Collections (summer, workwear, going out), Sale, Size Guide, Sustainability, About, Contact. Features needed: size filtering, wish list functionality, recently viewed products, Instagram feed integration, a ‘Complete the Look’ section on product pages, abandoned cart prompts, and a clearly visible returns policy. Brand feel: aspirational but accessible, cool, confident, trend-led. Colours: black, cream, and a bold red accent. Style references: Net-a-Porter meets ASOS — editorial photography with clean product shots.”
Example 3: B2B Wholesale / Trade Site
Prompt Example:“Create a professional e-commerce website for a UK-based wholesale coffee supplier selling to independent cafés, restaurants, and offices. Primary goal: drive trade account sign-ups and repeat wholesale orders. Pages needed: Home, Products (single origin, blends, decaf, equipment), Trade Account Application, Brewing Guides, About, Contact. Features needed: trade pricing visible only to logged-in account holders, minimum order quantity notices, case quantity selectors, PDF price list download, a brewing guide resource library, and a live chat widget. Brand feel: professional, passionate, knowledgeable, artisan. Colours: deep espresso brown, cream, and burnt orange. Style: clean and content-rich, with strong product photography and lots of supporting copy about provenance and quality.”
Example 4: Digital Products and Online Courses
Prompt Example:“Create a high-converting e-commerce website for a personal finance educator selling online courses and downloadable budget planners to millennials aged 25 to 40 who want to get out of debt and build savings. Primary goal: sell course enrolments and digital downloads. Pages needed: Home, Courses (overview and individual course pages), Free Resources, About, Testimonials, FAQ, Contact. Features needed: a video sales letter on the homepage, countdown timers for limited-time offers, a secure member login area, testimonial carousels with before-and-after stories, a money-back guarantee badge, and Stripe payment integration. Brand feel: empowering, optimistic, modern, relatable. Colours: sunshine yellow, white, and charcoal. Style: clean and energetic with bold typography and friendly photography of the course creator.”
Pro Tips for E-Commerce Prompts
Describe your product range in detail:
Vague prompts produce vague results.
Instead of “an online shop with products,” try “a homepage showcasing featured products, individual product pages with size guides, an about page explaining sustainable practices, and a blog for styling tips.”
The AI needs to understand your catalogue structure to build the right navigation and filtering system.
Specify your conversion mechanics explicitly:
Tell the AI exactly where you want trust signals placed (above the fold, on product pages, at checkout), where your email capture should appear, and what your primary and secondary calls to action are on each page.
Tell the AI about your customer’s buying hesitations:
Every e-commerce customer has objections before they buy, like price, quality, fit, delivery time, returns.
If you name these in your prompt, the AI will incorporate trust-building elements that address them directly.
For example: “Customers often worry about sizing — include a detailed size guide and a ‘model measurements’ note on every product page.”
Include your fulfilment and delivery details:
Shipping thresholds, delivery timescales, and returns policies are major purchase drivers.
Mentioning them in your prompt ensures they’re placed prominently where they’ll do the most conversion work.
State your upsell and cross-sell strategy:
If you want “Customers also bought” sections, bundle deals, or complementary product recommendations, say so.
These features can increase average order value significantly and Known AI can structure them from the start if you include them in the prompt.
Common Prompting Mistakes to Avoid
Whether you’re building a brochure site or an e-commerce store, these are the most common mistakes that lead to disappointing first results… and how to fix them.
Mistake
Why It Hurts
Fix
Being too vague
The AI makes generic assumptions
Add business type, audience, goal, and style in one prompt
No location
Misses local SEO opportunities
Always include your city or region
No call to action specified
The site doesn’t convert
State exactly what action you want on each page
No style guidance
Generic, templated feel
Use three to five descriptive words for brand feel plus colour direction
Listing everything at once
Overwhelming, loses priority
Lead with your single most important goal, then list supporting features
Forgetting mobile
Most visitors browse on phones
Add “mobile-first” or “optimised for mobile” to your prompt
Not iterating
Accepting the first output
Use Known Design AI’s refinement prompts to adjust sections one at a time
How to Refine Your Website After the First Generation
Your first AI-generated website is a strong starting point, not a finished product.
Once you have a solid base, refine through follow-up prompts that adjust spacing, swap colour schemes, or reorganise sections. Known AI’s co-pilot makes this simple:
“Change the hero section headline to focus on our free delivery offer.”
“Make the services section a three-column grid instead of a list.”
“Add a testimonials section between the About section and the Contact form.”
“Change the colour palette to deep navy and gold.”
“Rewrite the About page in a warmer, more conversational tone.”
Think of it as a conversation with your designer.
Each refinement prompt narrows the gap between what the AI generated and your exact expectations.
Quick Reference: Prompt Templates to Copy and Customise
Brochure Website Starter Template
“Create a [clean / bold / warm / professional] website for a [your business type] based in [your location] targeting [your ideal customer]. Primary goal: [get a call / generate enquiries / book appointments / download a brochure]. Pages: Home, About, Services ([list your services]), Testimonials, Contact. Trust signals: [years in business / accreditations / awards / number of clients]. Brand feel: [three describing words]. Colours: [your palette]. Call to action: [your CTA text].”
How long should my prompt be? There is no perfect length. Two to four sentences covering all five elements (business type, audience, goal, style, pages) produces excellent results in KNOWN AI website builder. Longer is only better if the extra detail is genuinely useful. Avoid padding.
Can I reference a website I like in my prompt? Yes. You can say “similar to the style of [website URL]” or describe what you like about another site. The AI uses this as stylistic direction, not a template to copy.
What if I don’t know what colour palette I want? Describe a mood or feeling instead, example: “warm and earthy”, “cool and corporate”, “bright and energetic”.KNOWN AI will select an appropriate palette that matches the emotional direction.
Can I change my website after KNOWN AI builds it? Absolutely. Everything the AI generates is fully editable. You can refine any section using follow-up prompts in the co-pilot, or edit text, images, and layouts manually in your KNOWN AI dashboard.
Do I need to write a new prompt if I want to add pages later? No. You can add pages at any time using the dashboard. You can also use the co-pilot to generate content for new pages that matches the style and tone of your existing site.
Will my AI-built website rank on Google? KNOWN AI builds on WordPress (the world’s most widely used SEO-proven platform) with clean code, fast load times, and structured content that search engines can read. Including your location, services, and target keywords naturally in your prompt helps the AI generate content that supports strong organic rankings from day one.
