10 mistakes people make with AI website builders

The ten most common mistakes with AI website builders, from vague prompts to fake testimonials, and how to avoid each one.

The short answer

The most common mistakes are vague prompts, accepting the first draft, leaving placeholder text and fake proof, ignoring the phone view, and choosing a tool that locks your site in. Each is easy to avoid once you know to look.

01The ten mistakes

  • 1. A prompt with no audience or action.
  • 2. Listing features instead of describing the outcome.
  • 3. Accepting the first draft as finished.
  • 4. Publishing with placeholder copy.
  • 5. Leaving invented testimonials or logos.
  • 6. Never checking the phone view.
  • 7. Too many calls to action on one screen.
  • 8. Ignoring page titles and descriptions.
  • 9. Choosing a builder you cannot leave.
  • 10. Never updating the site after launch.
Where Orlume fits

Orlume helps with several of these by design: orlume runs a multi-agent pipeline: a design pass decides layout, typography, hierarchy and spacing first, and separate agents then write and check the code, so design is never a side effect of code generation. Code download starts on the Personal plan.
