Create websites with Siteground AI Website Generator

AI Content Assistant

An AI-powered content assistant helps create headings, service descriptions, and full page copy quickly. Located inside the editor, it generates, rewrites, and refines text on demand so site owners can produce coherent, brand-aligned content without starting from scratch. Controls let you request tone, length, and variations, and repeated use is permitted for edits. This tool reduces the time spent on writing while keeping full editorial control through manual tweaks in the visual editor and supports multiple language outputs.

Professional Template Library

A curated collection of ready-made templates covers industries and use cases, with designer-crafted layouts that include placeholder images and prewritten text for faster setup. Templates are fully customizable: swap palettes, fonts, and layout blocks to align with brand identity while maintaining a responsive structure across devices. Users can mix and match prebuilt sections to assemble pages quickly without code, and templates serve as a practical starting point that reduces repetitive design work and accelerates site launch timelines for small businesses.

Integrated Stock Image Library

Access to millions of high-quality stock photos and graphics is built into the builder, eliminating separate licenses or external subscriptions. Images can be searched, inserted, and automatically resized to fit layouts while preserving aspect ratios and load performance. This integrated media library simplifies visual storytelling by offering curated categories and filtering tools, making it straightforward to replace placeholders with brand-relevant imagery. Automatic optimization reduces file sizes and supports faster page loads without manual compression steps and improves perceived user experience.

Built-in SEO and Marketing Tools

SEO controls are integrated so users can edit meta titles, descriptions, and URL slugs directly inside the page settings, helping search engines index content correctly. The builder also provides basic analytics and easy Tag Manager connection to track campaigns without code. These marketing tools combine to streamline on-site optimization and measurement: edit metadata, enable friendly URLs, add tracking snippets with a few clicks, and monitor visitor behavior through the dashboard, shortening the feedback loop for content and layout improvements rapidly.

Visual Editor with Prebuilt Sections

A drag-and-drop visual editor offers predesigned sections for headers, features, pricing, and contact forms so pages can be assembled quickly by stacking modular blocks. Each section is editable: change text, reorder elements, swap backgrounds, and adjust paddings without touching code. The editor preserves responsive rules so edits stay consistent on mobile and desktop. Built-in form elements connect to email and analytics, turning static pages into interactive experiences while keeping site maintenance simple for non-technical users and reducing time spent deploying.

Performance Optimization and Free CDN

Performance features include a free integrated CDN and server-side optimizations like dynamic caching and fast asset delivery to reduce load times worldwide. SiteGround configures NGINX Direct Delivery and caching layers automatically so sites benefit from improved TTFB and smoother experiences under traffic. These systems work without manual tuning, and image resizing plus compression further reduces payload. The result is faster initial loads, improved engagement metrics, and a hosting environment tuned for common sitebuilder patterns and media-heavy pages with minimal configuration.

Automatic Daily Backups and Recovery

Automatic daily backups capture site changes and store multiple restore points, providing a safety net for accidental edits or failed updates. Site owners can request restores through the client area, recovering content and settings without complex procedures. The system keeps a rolling window of backups appropriate to the hosting plan and integrates with the builder workflow so design changes and content updates are covered. Regular backups reduce downtime risk and simplify experimentation since administrators can revert to earlier states quickly.

Simple WooCommerce and Plugin Integration

The builder supports common ecommerce needs by enabling WooCommerce installation and essential plugins with minimal setup, making it easier to add products, carts, and payment options. Integration paths reduce friction when launching an online store, and plugins for contact forms, galleries, and SEO install automatically when chosen. This curated approach helps small shops get operational quickly while maintaining compatibility with SiteGround hosting optimizations and security rules, allowing merchants to focus on product catalogs and customer service instead of technical configuration.
