AI-Powered Web Design is here

It seems like almost every conversation in the tech industry these days revolves around AI. Recently, tools like ChatGPT have sparked questions about the role of AI in every industry. AI-related software is growing faster than any other kind of software since the dawn of the computing age.

Some people react with excitement and energy, while others respond with fear and caution. However, the more we explore the ways we can use AI for good, the more it becomes clear that it has the potential to dramatically and positively impact many areas, especially web design and development.

AI is transforming the web development industry by offering new capabilities and efficiencies. Tools like ChatGPT can provide code snippets for basic tasks like aligning headings, as well as more complex solutions like building a search engine user interface or 3D JavaScript interactions. However, the true power of AI-generated content lies in its integration with visual development environments, such as Webflow, that enable customisation and manipulation of AI-generated code.

The likes of Framer and Webflow are actively working on implementing AI-assisted technologies to enhance the learning experience for web developers. By integrating AI capabilities, they aim to provide personalised assistance and harness educational content through simple prompts. This will allow users to learn and apply new skills without breaking their design and development flow.

Moreover, AI can act as a copilot to help create and iterate designs faster, with features like content generation, SEO optimisation, improved accessibility, and language translation. AI can also assist in styling and content changes directly on the canvas, enabling faster iteration cycles and reducing time to market.

For beginners, AI-customised templates can provide an easier starting point for web development projects. Users can simply fill out a prompt to describe their requirements, and the template text and images will be transformed accordingly. The reason people underestimate the impact of AI, in my opinion, is that being able to write basic English (or any other language) means you can create code that was previously only accessible to those with specialised development skills.

Creative companies mission to democratise web development aligns with the advancements in AI, which can unlock creative potential for millions of people. By integrating AI with visual development platforms, the likes of Framer and Webflow aim to empower designers and developers to build impactful websites with unprecedented efficiency and innovation.

A day in the life of AI

Every day, we will showcase a workflow or task designed to help you or a specific role save time in their job. Becoming skilled at promoting can be a superpower, so the goal of this section is to help you up skill in this area.

Role: Choose your profession
Workflow/Task: The essential tasks and workflows
Task time before AI: A few hours - a couple of days
Task Time with AI: <1 minute

While there are plenty of prompts available for marketers and engineers, it’s often more difficult to find the best prompts for other professions, such as real estate agents.

But don't worry - you can simply ask ChatGPT to provide you with the best prompts by copying and pasting the prompt below:

Please let us know if there are any workflows, tasks, or roles that you would like us to feature.
