Build your website, your way with Wix Harmony →
How to prompt a website with Wix starts with describing what you want in natural language and letting AI build it for you. Wix gives you multiple ways to do this: inside its flagship AI website builder Wix Harmony with Wix's AI agent Aria or through AI integrations with Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot.
This article walks you through each method, step-by-step, whether you’re figuring out how to make a website from scratch for the first time or looking for a faster way to build your next one.
TL;DR: how to prompt a website with Wix
Here's what's covered in this article:
Prompting a website is one of the fastest ways to go from idea to live site. You describe what you want and AI handles the design, layout and content.
Wix offers multiple ways to prompt a website: through Wix Harmony, the Wix AI website builder powered by its AI agent Aria, or through integrations with Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. Just come with your AI prompts for website building.
Wix Harmony combines vibe coding with full drag-and-drop control (think vibe coding website builder meets drag-and-drop website builder).
The best prompts include four core elements: your business type, the site’s purpose, your target audience and the design style you want.
Every site you prompt with Wix is fully customizable, business-ready and backed by enterprise-grade infrastructure.
Wix Harmony brings AI and manual creation together in a single, smart platform. You can generate full pages, layouts and content with natural language, then fine-tune every detail with precise drag-and-drop control. It’s faster, more flexible website creation, without sacrificing quality or creative freedom.
How to prompt a website with Wix: a step-by-step guide
Prompting a website with AI is now one of the fastest ways to get online, but the quality of your prompt and the tools you use shape everything.
With Wix, you can prompt a website in multiple ways. The main route is directly through Wix’s flagship AI website builder, Wix Harmony, which combines AI-powered prompting with full drag-and-drop control.
Wix has also partnered with leading AI platforms to let you create Wix Harmony websites directly from their chat interfaces using the Wix MCP Server. These integrations simplify the website building process by enabling you to describe your vision in conversational language and build instantly, without opening a separate app or dashboard.
Here we’ll walk you through how to prompt a website with Wix using Wix Harmony and the steps to take if you choose to work through Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot.
01. Go to Wix Harmony
Wix Harmony is Wix's next-generation hybrid editor that combines AI-powered prompting with full drag-and-drop control. At the heart of the experience is Aria, Wix's AI agent.
To get started on prompting a website with Wix, go to the Wix Harmony homepage and start typing your prompt. Tell Aria what type of website you want to create and provide as much detail as possible.
02. Describe what you want
You don't need to overthink your first prompt but you should also avoid being so vague that you leave Aria guessing.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when considering how to prompt a website with Wix:
Be specific about your business. The more Aria knows about what you do, the more tailored your site will be. Include your industry, location, target audience and what makes you unique.
Describe the feeling, not just the features. Instead of “make a blue website,” try “create a calm, professional feel with a cool blue palette that builds trust.”
Ask for multiple options. If you’re unsure about a section, ask Aria to generate three different versions, so you can compare.
Expert tip: “A common mistake first-time creators make with AI web design is withholding the insider info only they know: the little details that set them apart, what’s unique about their offering, their specific services, their key benefits.” - Oz Golan, Group Product Lead for AI Creation, Wix
03. Let Aria build your site
Aria is the AI agent built into the Wix Harmony Editor. She’s a multi-skilled assistant trained on millions of real websites and businesses. Aria understands natural language, which means you describe what you want in plain English and she makes it happen. (While you're here: discover what is an AI agent).
Aria can handle a wide range of tasks, from building your entire site to refining individual details. Here’s what she can help with:
Design and layout: Redesign a page, update your color palette, choose fonts that match your brand or restructure your navigation.
Content creation: Write headlines, product descriptions, About pages and more. Then refine to match your voice.
Business features: Make an eCommerce website, set up booking systems and payment processing—the kind of tools you get from a leading AI eCommerce builder.
Custom components: Build countdown timers, graphs, interactive modules and other elements tailored to your brand.
SEO setup: Help structure your pages for search from the moment you start building.
Once you've described what you want, Aria generates a complete, multi-page website based on your description, including structure, content, images and design elements.

04. Refine through conversation
The beauty of prompting a website is that you don't have to get it right in one go.
As Aria builds your website, you can tell her what to change. For example, tell her to “make the hero section more minimal” or “add a testimonials section after the services block.” Keep the conversation going until you feel you're close to what you're looking for.
05. Switch to manual editing anytime
This is where Wix Harmony truly stands out. Jump between AI prompting and hands-on drag-and-drop editing whenever you want. This hybrid approach lets you get the speed of AI for the heavy lifting and pixel-perfect control for the finishing touches.
For extra efficiency, you can click on any element within the canvas and ask Aria to edit it directly, rather than having to describe where the element is.
Expert tip: “I always recommend: find a website builder that gives you control over the way your site looks, without having to invest in a web designer. Wix Harmony's hybrid AI and drag-and-drop editor lets you experiment, preview and adjust in real time, so your site feels truly yours.” - Adi Avraham, senior SEO growth at Wix
06. Preview and publish
Check how your site looks across different screen sizes, make any final adjustments and hit publish when you're ready.

07. Use your preferred LLM
If you prefer to work inside an AI tool you already use, Wix makes that possible too. The Wix MCP Server connects the Wix platform to Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, so you can prompt a website with Wix directly from their chat interfaces. Here's how each one works.
How to prompt a website with Wix and Claude
Claude, made by Anthropic, has a built-in Wix connector that makes it one of the most powerful ways to prompt and manage a Wix website through conversation.
How it works:
Connect Wix to Claude. Open Claude.ai or the Claude desktop app, navigate to the connectors panel, search for the Wix connector and click Connect. Authorize your Wix account and you’re done.
Write your site prompt. Open a new Claude conversation and describe your site in natural language. For example: “Create a website for a sustainable clothing brand in London. Warm, editorial aesthetic. The target audience is women aged 25 to 40. Pages needed: home, shop, about, sustainability page and contact.”
Review your site plan. Claude presents a structured site plan first, including proposed pages, layout approach and key features. Refine the plan in conversation before Claude builds the site.
Open in Wix Harmony. Your Claude-generated site appears in your Wix account, ready to edit in the Wix Harmony Editor with Aria or through drag-and-drop editing.
The Wix connector stays active after your initial build. You can return to Claude anytime to update store products, apply discounts, publish blog posts, manage bookings and more. And all through conversation.
If you want to go deeper into how to use Claude with Wix after your site is built, the full guide covers every capability.
For developers who want deeper control, you can manually configure the Wix MCP Server in Claude Desktop or Claude Web, enabling API key authentication and advanced use cases like n8n automation, app building and headless development. One-click install is also available for Cursor and Windsurf directly from the Wix Studio developer documentation.
Expert tip: “Let your agent try something wild. Explore different vibes, different tones and different layouts. Let it redesign a section completely. If you hate it, you can always revert. Designers call this 'rapid prototyping,' and it's how the best ideas happen.” - Oded Nachshon, Head of Wix Editor
How to prompt a website with Wix and ChatGPT
Wix has a native app inside ChatGPT that lets you generate a full Wix Harmony site directly from a ChatGPT conversation.
How it works:
Connect the Wix app in ChatGPT. Find the Wix app in ChatGPT’s app store, connect it and authorize your Wix account.
Write your prompt with @Wix. In any ChatGPT conversation, describe the site you want and tag @Wix to trigger the build. For example: "@Wix create a modern portfolio site for a graphic designer in New York. Clean, minimal aesthetic. Pages for gallery, about and contact."
Refine through chat. ChatGPT generates a site plan you can review and adjust through conversation before the site is finalized.
Edit in Wix Harmony. The generated site lands in your Wix account, fully editable in the Wix Harmony Editor with Aria ready to help.
Remember, the @Wix tag is what activates the integration. Without it, ChatGPT responds as a general AI assistant and won’t trigger a site build. For users who want ongoing site management, the Wix MCP integration gives ChatGPT live access to update and manage any Wix site through conversation.
Expert tip: “Sometimes we’re too close to our own work to see what’s missing. Here, you can flip the role of AI and use it as a critic. Ask it, ‘What’s missing from this page?’ or ‘Is my mission statement clear to a first-time visitor?’” - Yarin Singolda, Product Marketing Manager, Wix
How to prompt a website with Wix and Microsoft Copilot
Wix Harmony is also available as an integration within Microsoft 365 Copilot, letting you create and manage your website using natural language directly from a Copilot conversation.
This integration is part of Microsoft’s broader push to bring third-party business apps into the Copilot experience through the Microsoft 365 Agent Store. Wix Harmony in Copilot lets you describe the site you want, generate it and manage it, all without leaving the Microsoft 365 environment.
If you already work within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and want to keep your website building in that same workflow, the Wix Harmony integration in Copilot is a convenient option worth exploring.

How to write the best prompts for your Wix website
Now that you know all the ways to prompt a website with Wix, here's how to make sure your prompts produce the best possible results. Whether you’re chatting to Aria in Wix Harmony or building through Claude or ChatGPT, these tips apply across every method.

Expert tip: “AI has amazing capabilities, but to get amazing results, you have to bring yourself to the party, too. When you combine what makes you unique with the generative powers of AI, that’s when the good stuff really starts happening.” - Josh Brentan, Content Team Lead, Wix
Start with your goals, not your design
Before you write a single prompt, get clear on what the site actually needs to do. Is the goal to sell products, attract new clients, showcase your work or share information? A site built to convert visitors into customers looks very different from a portfolio website built to impress potential employers.
Include the four core prompt elements
The best website prompts answer four main questions:
Who is it for? Your target audience.
What is the goal? The type of website and its purpose.
What does it need to do? Features and functionality.
What's the vibe? The design style, colors and overall feel.
For example, a vague prompt like “make me a website for my restaurant” gives the AI very little to work with. A strong prompt like “build a modern, mobile-friendly website for a cozy Italian restaurant in Dublin. Warm, inviting design with earthy tones. Pages for home, menu, reservations, gallery and contact. Include an online reservation form and Google Maps integration” gives the AI everything it needs to generate a site that's close to your vision on the first try.
Share the details that make you unique
One of the most common mistakes first-time creators make is withholding the insider details that set their business apart. AI is powerful, but it can't invent what makes your business special. Include your business name, your niche, your key differentiators and the specific services or products you offer.
Get really granular. For example: “I run a ballet studio in Austin called Pointe & Grace. We offer classes for adults and kids ages 4+, from beginner to advanced. What makes us different is our small class sizes (max 10 students) and our focus on classical technique in a warm, non-intimidating environment.”
Expert tip: “What’s important to remember is that there’s no single ‘right’ way to use AI in web creation. Some people will let Aria generate almost everything and then lightly tweak the design. Others will manually build most of the structure and ask AI to refine details. The sweet spot is personal.” - Ilanit Izhar, Head of UX, Wix Editor
Start simple and iterate
While getting specific is important, you don't have to write a perfect prompt on the first try. A two to three sentence prompt gives AI enough to work with without being overwhelming. Start with the essentials and refine from there.
Once your first draft is ready, review each section and give specific feedback. Instead of "I don't like the colors," try "Change the background to white and make the buttons a softer blue." Focus on one thing at a time: fix the layout first, then the fonts, then the images.
Use negative constraints when needed
Sometimes it helps to tell AI what not to do. For example: "Keep the modern layout but remove the large hero image at the top" or "Don't use stock photography that looks generic." Negative constraints help AI narrow down your vision quickly.
Let AI surprise you
If you feel stuck, leave room for creative interpretation. Ask Aria or your AI tool to suggest unexpected visual elements that match your brand’s energy. Prompts like "My homepage feels a bit flat. Surprise me with something that matches my brand" can take a site from good to memorable.

How to prompt a website with Wix and why it's the new way to build a website
The way people make websites has fundamentally changed. Instead of starting with a blank canvas or choosing from website templates, you can now describe the site you want and watch AI build it in minutes.
Meanwhile, many people now want their complete workflow to happen through their AI tool of choice. Wix makes that transition seamless by connecting its platform to leading AI tools, so you can go from conversation to live website without switching tabs.
No other website builder offers that range of options backed by the same level of enterprise-grade infrastructure.
