Users can continue chatting to add sections or pages, tweak design tokens (logo, colors, fonts), and then seamlessly continue editing inside a full WordPress dashboard—installing plugins, changing content, and launching the site. The demo builds a **street photography portfolio** and showcases rapid preview, customization, adding a tips page, WordPress handoff, and one-click launch ([0:00–0:17](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=0), [0:53–1:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=53), [1:13–1:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=73), [1:27–1:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=87), [1:55–2:03](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=115), [2:07–2:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=127)). --- ## 📖 Main Content: Airo™ abstracts the **scaffolding** of a WordPress site: sitemap, starter copy, imagery, and layout conventions. You provide intent (“portfolio,” “see work,” “collaborate”), and Airo™ proposes pages and CTA focus, generates a preview, and lets you iterate conversationally. Crucially, it **hands off** to **real WordPress**—no lock-in—so you can use the plugin ecosystem (SEO, e-commerce, bookings), then launch when ready. This lowers barriers for non-coders while remaining friendly to devs who want to extend. ### 🗒️ Notes - 🧠 **Intent → Structure** - Airo™ prompts for the site’s **primary goal** (e.g., “show work & collaborate”) to align layout and CTAs ([0:32–0:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=32), [0:40–0:46](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=40)). - Suggests pages and lets you accept or refine ([0:46–0:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=46)). - ⚙️ **Behind-the-scenes generation** - Builds sitemap, sections, content, design patterns, and pulls images before preview ([0:53–1:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=53)). - Initial output: **Home / Gallery / About / Contact** with starter content ([1:04–1:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=64)). - 🎨 **Brand & UI tokens** - Customize **logo, colors, fonts** and nav orientation from the **Customize** tab ([1:13–1:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=73)). - Immediate visual feedback (e.g., flipping menu orientation) ([1:23–1:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=83)). - ➕ **Conversational authoring** - Add a Phoenix shooting-spots section by asking in plain text; Airo™ inserts a filled section ([1:27–1:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=87), [1:33–1:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=93)). - Request a brand-new **Tips & Tricks** page for beginners; generated instantly ([1:36–1:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=96), [1:42–1:46](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=102)). - 🧭 **Onboarding → WordPress handoff** - Complete onboarding, set **WP admin user**, then jump to the **WordPress dashboard** ([1:55–2:03](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=115), [2:07–2:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=127)). - From there: edit pages/blocks, swap media, add sections—standard WP editing flow ([2:08–2:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=128)). - 🔌 **Ecosystem freedom** - Install plugins: **SEO, e-commerce, booking**—“full WordPress site with no limitations” ([2:21–2:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=141), [2:26–2:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=146)). - Launch banner → site goes **live** ([2:30–2:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkmnnIVBlmk&t=150)). - 🧩 **Positioning** - Airo™ is **assistive scaffolding** (fast start, structured content), not a closed ecosystem.

Aerosite Designer is an AI tool that creates a professional WordPress website for you in just minutes. All you have to do is describe what you want in plain language. You can keep chatting with it to add new pages, update content, or tweak the design, which makes building a website accessible for anyone. Today, I'm going to use it to create my street photography portfolio called In the Streets. So, I'll start by typing, I want to create a website for my street photography portfolio called In the Streets. Site designer immediately asks what I want people to do when they land on my site. I'll say I want them to see my work and reach out for collaborations. Next, it asks about the pages I want and even recommends a few, and they sound spot-on, so I'll just go with those. Now, it gives me a few options. I can keep answering questions for more detail, or I can preview the site. I'll go ahead and hit preview. This can take a minute or so since the system is doing a lot in the background. It's building the site map, generating the content and sections, picking design patterns, pulling in images, and assembling everything together. And there we go. My site is ready with four pages: home, gallery, about, and contact. Each one is already filled with starter content and images. Let's head over to the customize tab. Here, I can upload my logo and change the site colors. can also swap out fonts and even adjust the navigation menu orientation. Let's flip this so you can see how it changes. Now, let's add some new content. I'll ask Aerosite Designer to create a section about my favorite places to shoot around Phoenix. Instantly, it adds a new section with some content for me. Let's do something a little bit heavier. I'll ask it to create a brand new page for tips and tricks for beginner photographers. And just like that, it generates the page. Let's take a quick look at the sections and see if I want to edit anything. Honestly, this all looks pretty great to me. So, I can keep editing and keep chipping away at it. But once I'm happy with the design, I can finish onboarding by hitting continue and then setting my WordPress admin username. When it's done setting everything up, I can go right to the WordPress dashboard. And from here, I can open up the homepage that we just looked at and edit anything I want. changing text, swapping out photos, adding new sections and blocks.
