Problem
Traditional website builders like Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress charge recurring fees ranging from £60 to £170+ per year, often forcing users onto ad-supported free tiers or limited trials. Building a site typically requires learning complex dashboards, navigating multiple tabs, and dealing with platforms that hold user files hostage, making it difficult to leave or export content.
Solution
WhatIMade provides a free, no-code website builder where users can create a live site by simply describing what they want or dropping in a file—an HTML document, folder, zip, PDF, Word doc, or image—and the site goes live on a real web address in about 30 seconds. Users can build and edit their sites by texting instructions via WhatsApp or by using any AI tool like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, eliminating the need to learn a builder interface. Every version of the site is automatically backed up to the user's own Google Drive, ensuring files remain in their control. The service is free forever with no ads, and the company even offers free migration assistance for users switching from other platforms.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals, small businesses, and creators who want a fast, free, and simple way to publish AI-generated content or basic websites without learning a traditional website builder.
