How autoSite is different from a website builder

Website builders — the familiar drag-and-drop editors — and autoSite look like they solve the same problem at first glance: managing a site without a developer. But the approach underneath is fundamentally different.

Website builders: you are the editor

With a website builder, you work inside a visual editor: dragging blocks around, picking a template, checking spacing and layout on different screens. That's fine for a solo start, but the result is on you — if a block breaks on mobile, fixing it is on you too.

autoSite: you describe, the system edits

With autoSite, you don't open an editor — you describe what needs to change, in plain text. The system then edits the site's real code, not a template with a fixed set of blocks, and sends you the finished result to review. Layout, responsiveness, and polish aren't your problem.

Which one fits

A website builder makes sense if you actually enjoy putting a site together and have time to learn the editor. autoSite makes sense if you want the result, not the process — you describe the task and get a finished solution, without ever learning an editor interface.

The difference isn't which one produces a better website — both produce a real one. The difference is who does the work of the editor: you, or the system.
