What an AI website builder does

An AI website builder writes and designs the website for you from a description. Instead of dragging boxes onto a blank page, you say what the business is, what it sells and where it is, and the builder makes the pages, the words and the layout, and picks the photos. With Lynk AI you can type it or say it out loud.

It only knows what it's told. The best websites come from real details: the business's name, its prices, its opening hours, its phone and WhatsApp numbers, and its own photos. Anything left out is filled with sample text and photos that you replace before the website goes live.

Have these ready before you start

The business's name, what it does in one or two sentences, and the area it serves. The main things it sells or the services it offers, with prices if it shows them. How customers reach it: phone, WhatsApp, email, address and opening hours.

A logo if there is one, and a few good photos: the shop front, the team at work, the products. Photos taken on a phone in good daylight are fine. If you're building for a client, ask them for these first: it saves a second round of changes.

Step by step with Lynk AI

Describe it. Open Lynk AI and say what you want, for example "a website for Ama's salon in Osu, with prices and online booking". Lynk AI asks a few questions about the business first, then starts building.

Watch it build, then change it by asking. The website appears beside the chat. Ask for changes in plain words: "make the top darker", "add a prices page", "use the photo of the shop front". You can also start from one of the ready-made website designs and have Lynk AI make it the business's own.

Add what the business needs: a shop that takes Mobile Money and card payments, online bookings, a contact form, or a chat assistant that answers visitors and takes their details. Ask for each one in the chat.

Put it live. Buy a domain in Lynk or connect one the business already owns, then publish. Lynk sets up the hosting and the secure padlock.

Check it before you share it

Open it on a phone, because most visitors will. Tap every button, send a test message through the contact form and, if it takes payments, make a small test payment. When you publish, Lynk checks the design on a phone and a computer and stops anything serious, like text too small to read or a page that scrolls sideways.

Replace every sample photo and every line of sample text with the business's own. A website with real prices, real photos and a phone number that works earns trust; one with leftovers loses it.

Keep it up to date

When prices, hours or photos change, ask Lynk AI to change them on the website. Customers and search engines both favour websites that stay current.

Share the link on the business's WhatsApp status, social pages and Google Business Profile, so people searching for it find the website.
