Using an AI website builder is the fastest, easiest way to get your business online and attracting new customers.
When you run your own business, you don't have time to learn complicated new software bogged down by features you'll never use. That's where an AI website builder can help, saving you time to focus on running your business.
But not all AI website builders are created equal. Here's what you need to know about WordPress vs. Durable.

Durable's AI website builder generates your business's website from scratch in a matter of seconds. That includes beautiful page layouts, visual assets, and optimized marketing copy.
Then you're free to make edits, add or delete sections or pages, or have the AI website builder create new content in seconds.
Your Durable account includes AI marketing tools for generating blog posts, ads, social posts, and emails, plus invoicing and CRM. You get the power of a dedicated AI marketing and web design team working for your business. And it costs less than most website builders that require you to do the heavy lifting yourself.
WordPress is one of the most popular website builders available. It's highly adaptable, and can be used to create anything from simple landing pages to enormous, complex websites for global brands.
That adaptability comes at a cost, though. While the WordPress website editor is fairly straightforward to use, a lot of its functionality depend on third-party plugins. It takes time, patience, and sometimes coding skills to make use of them.
Bottom line: WordPress is really only an option if you already have experience designing websites.
Currently, WordPress does not include native AI features. For AI-powered content, you'll need to use a third party plugin. Otherwise, it's up to you to write marketing copy and blog posts from scratch.
Usually an AI website builder takes a small amount of input and combines it with web design standards, color theory, and image databases. AI software understands the context of the data that you enter and generates appropriate styles and content based on those inputs.
Some AI website builders use a small number of generic site templates and simply slot in the generated content, colors, and fonts. But a great AI website builder produce templates algorithmically, creating more natural, nuanced designs. And a really good AI website builder will also write copy for you.
Most AI website builders are powered by an AI engine (usually developed by another company), like GPT-3.
With Durable, you do not need to know *any* code to create a website. Durable provides a simple drag-and-drop interface that allows you to easily create and customize your website with pre-designed page templates, sections and tools.
Some AI website builders require a small amount of code, or require coding for in-depth customization. If you are using a non-AI website builder, you should expect to run into a little or a lot of code (depending on the website builder you're using).
If you want to avoid code at all costs, an AI website builder like Durable is the way to go.
Some AI website builders charge a flat monthly fee, depending on how many website pages you want to develop.
Many AI or manual website builders will require an extra charge if you want to create a custom domain.
Durable offers a Free Plan for those who just want to get as website live. In addition, our paid plans include a custom domain, AI-powered marketing tools, custom management tools, and AI invoicing, all for one flat fee.

The location of every website on the internet is defined by an IP address that looks something like 192.0.2.1 or 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:8:1. This isn't a user-friendly way to navigate the web, so we use domain names like yourwebsite.com instead.
When you sign up for a website creation service, you normally receive an account subdomain to use as your website address, such as mailchimpsites.com/yourwebsite. A custom domain replaces that subdomain—it's simpler, easier to remember, and better for your brand and visitors.
While some plugins and third party services may provide AI tools for WordPress, the WordPress website editor itself does not currently feature AI in any capacity.
That means everything is up to you: designing the website, writing copy, adding new pages, setting up SEO, etc. That's great if you have in-depth web development skills, but less-great if you're new to building websites.
WordPress is free to try with limited features. You need a paid plan in order to access more advanced features like a custom domain name for your business.
While most WordPress plugins market themselves as "free," many offer limited features compared to their premium or paid plans. If you plan to use plugins for SEO, eCommerce, or AI, expect to pay.
