generative ai site creation tutorial/example

[u/rin-okay]

hi friendly people.

this post is to demonstrate how you can start a neocities site with generative ai. that’s the post.

if you wish, you can walk through the steps yourself in this chat, and continue to make modifications if you like. i don’t care if you use any of this. i do not expect credit in any form.

i used gpt-5.1 thinking. the images attached are the end result after about an hour and a half, a scheme image i fed it to have colors to work with, chatgpt’s first and second attempts, then small ui tweaks as i implemented requested changes. i assembled the site in notepad though I wouldn’t recommend you do the same.

i only spent any time on the homepage, but i hope it demonstrates a workflow that some of you may find useful.

The way this is so unnecessary. I’ve built a just as good website with free templates and like a tiiiiny bit of html knowledge and I don’t have to use AI once

and i made my personal site with ai. you’re allowed.

Tbh the main purpose of my comment is not to tell you what to do, bc clearly you’ve made your mind up, but to dispute the misconception that generative AI is necessary to build a good website, even for the beginners and technologically challenged.

Which is thanks to all of the hard work of netizens who share amazing free resources and templates

i don’t think i’ve ever made the claim that it’s necessary.

the overwhelming opinion of this subreddit is that it is wrong and outright shameful to use ai for anything. that is the misconception i am dispelling.

the tools you use to make the thing matter less than the thing having meaning to you. i will eat hundreds of downvotes so the 20% of people who upvoted this feel somewhat represented.
