See the Plan Before AI Builds Your Website

Describe your business, press a button, get a website. That is the promise of AI website builders, and it mostly holds. But there is a gap in it: if the AI misunderstands you, you only find out after the whole site is built.

C Building adds one step in between. Before it builds anything, it shows you a plan.

What the plan contains

When you choose Build with AI and describe your business, C Building first proposes a website plan:

• The site's title, the name it will use across the pages.
• A short summary of what the site is about and who it is for.
• A visual direction: the look and feel it intends to use.
• The pages it will make, such as home, about, services, menu or contact.

Read it like a brief from a designer. If it calls your yoga studio a gym, gives you five pages when you need two, or reaches for a dark, dramatic look when you want something light and calm, say so now.

Why a plan first

A sentence is cheaper to fix than a website. Changing "a gym" to "a small yoga studio" in a plan takes a second. Changing it after the site is built means reworking copy, photos and pages.

It saves your AI credits. Each AI build of a new website counts as one AI website generation. Catching a misunderstanding before the build means you don't spend a generation on the wrong site.

It shows what the AI understood. Your description is in your words; the plan is the AI's reading of it. Seeing the two side by side is the quickest way to spot what you forgot to mention.

If you already know what you want, you don't have to wait for the plan: you can skip it and start the build directly.

Writing a description that makes a good plan

The more specific the description, the better the plan. Include:

1. Your industry and what you actually offer: "a family-run noodle shop with six dishes and takeaway", not just "a restaurant".
2. Your name.
3. Your main services or products, and anything that sets you apart.
4. The tone and colours you like: warm and friendly, calm and clinical, bold and modern.
5. The pages you need: home, about, services, menu, contact, bookings.

Descriptions that ask to copy a well-known brand's website exactly are refused. Describe the style you like instead: "clean and minimal, lots of white space, one accent colour".

After you confirm

Once you confirm the plan, the build runs in the background and takes a few minutes. You can close the page and it keeps going. Your project card shows its progress, or its place in the queue when others are building, and the editor shows each stage as it happens.

If a build is interrupted, the project card says it needs to continue building. Open the project and retry: it picks up from where it stopped instead of starting over.

When the first version is ready, you keep shaping it the two usual ways: tell the AI what to change, or click anything on the page and change it yourself.

Wrapping up

A good website starts with the AI understanding your business. The plan is where you check that it does, in a few lines, before a single page is built. You can try it free, with no credit card and no time limit.
