GoDaddy launches Airo Site Designer to build WordPress websites from a quick chat

CanadianSMEPublished September 17, 2025 · 2 min read

GoDaddy has unveiled its latest AI-powered innovation, GoDaddy Airo^® Site Designer – a new AI-powered website builder which builds a complete WordPress site using only a quick conversation.

The new product targets a significant pain point for new small businesses: getting online fast. AI-powered tools can help small business owners create a digital presence in minutes, but research by the GoDaddy Small Business Research Lab has found that many small business owners don’t feel confident about using AI.

Even though 66% of Canadian small business owners who have tried AI report positive results, 14% are unconfident using it and 33% remain unfamiliar. This gap highlights the need for simple, accessible AI tools that make website building easy for everyone.

Airo Site Designer allows users to describe a business idea with a plain-text prompt (for instance: “I want to run a mobile dog grooming service in Toronto”) for the tool to generate a fully designed, ready-to-publish website – including copy, images, and layout.

The fastest path from idea to open-for-business

Building a website and online presence can often translate to hours spent wrestling with templates, placeholder text and stock photography. Airo Site Designer cuts that process down to minutes, letting small business owners move quickly from idea to live website so they can focus on running their business, not building their site.

The new tool is available as part of GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress Hosting, seamlessly integrating with GoDaddy’s suite of products including domains, commerce and online marketing.

Powering pros to pitch, prototype and publish at speed

Airo Site Designer is also designed to help digital agencies and freelancers managing multiple clients. Using the tool to generate initial drafts in minutes means they can focus on strategy, user experience and other higher-value services.

“Getting a WordPress site live fast no longer has to involve writing code and messing with templates,” said Sergej Grivcov, GoDaddy Senior Director, Software Development. “If you can describe your business in one sentence, Airo Site Designer turns that into pages, copy, and imagery so you publish in minutes and put your time where it matters.”
