How to Set Up Your Website Using the Zibster AI Website Builder
The Zibster AI Website Builder helps you quickly create a professionally designed website using your images, branding, and business details. This guided setup is available for new Zibster accounts that have not yet launched with a domain.
The AI Website Builder creates your core website pages using the Website Builder. It does not set up ECommerce, Blog Posts, Mood Boards, Scheduler, Forms, or Marketing tools. Those features can be added separately after your website is created.
During the setup process, Zibster automatically generates optimized image alt text, page titles, and meta descriptions for the pages it creates, helping improve accessibility and search engine visibility from the start.
This guide walks you through each step of the Zibster AI Website Builder so you know exactly what to expect.
STEP ONE
Log into your Zibster account and click WEBSITE in the left-side menu.
If available, you can also click BUILD YOUR WEBSITE from your website checklist.
STEP TWO
Select your website template.
Click Select on the template you want the Website Builder to use for your site design. The selected template will be highlighted. Click CONTINUE in the right-side panel to move to the next step.
If you prefer to skip the AI Website Builder setup, click SKIP SETUP in the right-side panel. A confirmation message will explain that your website will be created using the selected template style with placeholder images and text. Click Yes, Go Ahead to continue.
You can customize everything later, but completing the setup now will save time.
STEP THREE
Upload your logo in JPG or PNG format. After uploading, your logo will appear in the control panel.
If you decide to use a different logo, simply upload the new logo file. The new upload will automatically replace the existing logo—there is no need to delete the previous logo first.
Starting with this step, a gray Back button appears next to the green CONTINUE button. You can use the Back button to return to the template selection step and make changes if needed.
Click CONTINUE in the right-side panel to move forward.
STEP FOUR
Upload at least 25 images.
The Zibster AI Website Builder uses these images to create your initial website design. During this process, images are optimized and automatically assigned image alt text to improve accessibility and SEO.
You can upload additional images later after your website is created.
A gray Back button is available on this step, allowing you to return to the Upload Your Logo step if needed.
Once your images are visible in the control panel, click CONTINUE in the right-side panel.
STEP FIVE
Add your business information and style details.
Enter your business name, location, services or specialties, style or approach, and brand voice. This information is used to generate website copy, page titles, meta descriptions, and other page metadata.
A gray Back button is available on this step, allowing you to return to the Upload Images step if needed.
When finished, click CREATE WEBSITE to have Zibster AI generate the first draft of your site.
FINAL STEP
Wait for your website to be created.
Once you click CREATE WEBSITE, the website creation process begins and you can no longer return to previous setup steps.
It takes approximately 12 minutes for the initial version of your website to be ready. Once complete, you can review your site in the Website Builder.
All generated content, including text, images, alt text, and metadata, can be edited or replaced at any time.
CONFIRMATION
When the setup process finishes, you will see a Website Created Successfully message. From there, you can preview your website or open the Website Builder to edit pages and add additional content.
