What is Genesis?
Genesis is an AI website builder. Instead of dragging blocks around or writing code, you describe the website you want in plain language. Genesis generates a real, working site — with a live preview you can see and edit instantly.
How building works
Section titled “How building works”- Describe your site. Tell the builder what you want — “a landing page for my coaching business with a hero, testimonials, and a contact form.” Genesis plans and generates it.
- Watch it appear. Your site builds in a live preview alongside the chat. Every section is real and functional — no placeholder demos.
- Refine it. Ask for changes in chat (“make the hero darker”, “add a pricing section”), or click any element in the preview to edit text, colors, and images directly.
- Connect your tools. Add payment processing, email autoresponders, analytics, and marketing pixels from Project Settings.
- Publish. When you’re happy, publish your site to the web.
Two ways to edit
Section titled “Two ways to edit”Genesis gives you two complementary editing modes:
- AI chat — best for structural changes: new pages, new sections, layout changes, theme adjustments, or anything you’d describe in a sentence.
- Visual editor — best for precise tweaks: click an element to change its font size, color, or image; double-click text to edit it inline.
Both edits update the same source of truth, so you can switch between them freely.
What you can add to a project
Section titled “What you can add to a project”Beyond the pages themselves, a Genesis project can include optional modules and integrations, all managed from Project Settings:
- Blog — a full
/blogsection with posts, authors, and categories. - Community — a social space with groups, courses, events, and a member feed.
- Marketing Funnels — a node-based funnel builder for multi-step flows.
- Order forms — sell products, plans, and bundles with coupons and saved cards.
- Integrations — payment gateways, email autoresponders, analytics, and ad pixels.
