[PART 2] AI ChatGPT Series: Creating a website

ChatGPT can create content, generate SEO strategies and even write programming scripts in a snap. All these work theoretically, but will the outcome meet industry standards if applied practically and used to create a website? Today, we’ll put ChatGPT to the test to see if this trailblazing AI tool can build a website from the ground up.

In the first part of our ChatGPT series, we’ve established that ChatGPT, along with other AI tools, can aid in website design. In this second part, you’ll see how our team here at QWERTYLABS built sportsbookbacklinks.com from start to finish using AI ChatGPT. Let’s get started.

Creating the sitemap for sportsbookbacklinks.com

Building a website is no easy task, and that’s exactly why we want to see if ChatGPT can simplify the process. Here’s how we did it:

1. Creating the sitemap 

One of the first things we did was create the sitemap for the site’s structure. This is a file in your site’s root HTML that details your site’s key information. It is one of the ways for a website to get indexed and start ranking on search engines like Google.

To start, we turned to ChatGPT to give us a 15-page sitemap:

As seen in the screenshot above, ChatGPT couldn’t create a comprehensive 15-page website sitemap due to its limitations as an AI language model. However, it guided us in creating a sitemap for a sports website by providing a sample structure. The sample sitemap was too focused on sports instead of sportsbook backlinks, so we changed our request to get more precise results. 

We emphasised the website’s focus on ‘building backlinks for sportsbooks’; this time, ChatGPT gave a more accurate website sitemap. The sample sitemap outlined the main sections and pages needed to create a sportsbooks backlinks-focused site. It covered various topics, including backlink-building strategies, tools and resources, sportsbook SEO, marketing, analysis, partnerships, and more.

The sample sitemap also included a detailed overview of what should be included on each page. See the 15-page sample sitemap made by ChatGPT below:

Creating the code for sportsbookbacklinks.com

1. ChatGPT generates an HTML website code

With the sitemap in hand, we started with the first item on the list: the homepage. We wanted to see if ChatGPT can provide us with the HTML code to start the website. Here’s what we got:

The HTML code we got seemed promising, so we tested it using a platform for web developers called Replit. Using our test account, we inputted the HTML code ChatGPT provided to see how it would look.

As you can see on the left section of the image, the results were simplistic at best. However, we weren’t done yet. We also wanted to see if ChatGPT can create an HTML code responsive for mobile devices. To find out, we asked ChatGPT to change the HTML code with a focus on mobile responsiveness. 

Once again, we tested the HTML code on Replit and here’s the result:

2. Customising the HTML

As you can see from the previous section, ChatGPT can only provide a simple HTML and CSS design. While it’s possible to keep revising our prompt and specifying more elements to get the desired results, it will take too long and ultimately be counter-productive.

This is why we decided to use the same theme as QWERTYLABS called Astra in WordPress to create the site. This is an easier alternative than producing a code through trial-and-error in ChatGPT since most web builders like WordPress already offer customisable themes.

After applying the theme to sportsbookbacklinks.com, we customised it according to ChatGPT’s website design guidelines from the first part of our experiment.

The final pages on sportsbookbacklinks.com

Once we’ve updated the Astra theme to match our desired results, the website finally looks how we wanted it to. In the pages, we followed ChatGPT’s design guidelines and included the AI robot art designs we generated before. 

Here are some of the pages you’ll find on the platform:
