The big idea
You don't need to know all the codes to make a website anymore! You can just tell AI 'make me a one-page website about my dog' and it writes the code for you.
Some examples
- 'Make a website about my favorite ice cream flavors.'
- Ask AI to add a picture, a title, and a fun background color.
- Save the code as a file ending in .html and double-click it!
- Show your website to a parent — it works in any browser.
Try it!
With a grown-up, ask AI to make a one-page website about your favorite hobby. Save and open it.
Practice this safely
Try this with a low-stakes example and a trusted adult nearby. The goal is to notice how AI talks about website, not to let it make the decision for you.
- 1Ask AI to explain website in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
- 2Give it one detail from "How AI Can Help You Make Your Very First Website" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
- 3Check HTML against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
