Build your website, your way with Wix Harmony →
Making a website with Wix in ChatGPT is one of the fastest ways to go from an idea to a live, professional site in 2026. And it starts with a single prompt.
You open ChatGPT, describe the site you want, tag @wix and a complete Wix Harmony site appears in your Wix account. One that’s hosted, mobile-optimized and ready to edit.
How does it work? Wix has a native app inside ChatGPT that connects directly to your account. You describe your idea in plain language, tag @wix and the platform generates a full, business-ready website from your conversation.
This article walks you through every step of how to make a website from scratch with Wix in GPT: from connecting the Wix app to writing prompts that produce a site that’s ready to publish.
It also covers what happens after the build: how you can work with Wix’s AI agent Aria to refine your site inside the editor, and how the Wix MCP integration lets you manage your site through ChatGPT on an ongoing basis.
Prefer to build a website with ChatGPT while you read, then get started.
TL;DR: how to make a website with Wix in ChatGPT
Wix has a native app inside ChatGPT that lets you build a complete Wix Harmony website from a conversation. Once you connect the app, tag @wix in your prompt and a professional site is generated in your Wix account. From there, you can continue refining with Aria in the Wix Harmony Editor or manage and update your site over time through conversation with the Wix MCP integration.
Here’s a quick rundown of the process:
Wix provides a native ChatGPT app that generates a full website from a single @wix prompt.
Every site created through @wix is a Wix Harmony site built on enterprise-grade infrastructure with free website hosting, SEO and security included.
Wix Harmony combines vibe coding with precise drag-and-drop website creation in one hybrid editor.
Aria, Wix's multi-skilled AI agent, continues the build inside the Wix Harmony Editor after ChatGPT creates the site.
The Wix MCP integration gives ChatGPT live, ongoing access to manage and update any Wix site.
There’s no need for coding, hosting setup, or a separate step for publishing. The site is live and in your account from the first prompt.
How to make a website with Wix in GPT: step by step
There are two ways to make a website with Wix in GPT. The @wix tag method is the fastest route from idea to a live Wix Harmony site. It works inside any ChatGPT conversation and requires no technical knowledge.
The Wix MCP integration is built for ongoing site management, giving ChatGPT live access to update, expand and operate your site over time.
Most people start with the @wix method. Here’s the full process:
01. Connect the Wix app to ChatGPT
The Wix app connects to ChatGPT through a one-time setup. Once connected, it stays active across every future conversation. The connection lets ChatGPT securely access your Wix account and generate Wix Harmony sites on your behalf.
Here's how to connect it:
Go to ChatGPT and log in to your account
Click Apps on the left sidebar
Search for the Wix app and click Connect
In the popup, click Connect Wix (if you’re not already logged into Wix, you’ll be prompted to do so)
Review the permissions and click Allow.
Optionally click Start chat to begin building right away
That’s it. The Wix app is now connected, and @wix is available in any conversation. The permissions you grant let ChatGPT create sites in your Wix account, nothing else. You can review and revoke access anytime through your Wix account settings.
Important note: Make sure you’re logged into your Wix account before starting a site-creation conversation. ChatGPT needs that active session to place the generated site in your account.
02. Write your Wix site prompt and tag @wix
With the Wix app connected, making a website with Wix in GPT comes down to one prompt. Describe the site you want, include @wix in the message, and AI generates a complete Wix Harmony site based on your description. The @wix tag is what activates the app. Without it, ChatGPT responds conversationally but won’t build anything.
A prompt like “@wix create a modern portfolio site for a freelance photographer with a home page, gallery, about section and contact form” gives AI clear direction and enough structure to produce a strong starting point.
Remember, you don't need to figure everything out before tagging @wix. ChatGPT is a conversation. You can brainstorm your idea first. Talk through what the site needs, who it’s for, what tone you want. Then tag @wix only when you’re ready. The full conversation becomes context for the build.
In summary:
@wix must appear in the prompt to activate the Wix app and trigger site generation.
Describe your business type, site purpose, key pages and desired tone for best results.
Brainstorm freely first, then tag @wix when you're ready to build.
The entire conversation history informs the site, not just the final prompt.
Expert tip: Not sure what to include in your prompt? Wix's guide on AI prompts for website building covers the prompt structures that consistently produce more specific, on-brand results.
"Our new editor, Wix Harmony, was built on the belief that the future of web design isn't AI or human—it’s both. It gives you a middle ground where you can use AI for the heavy lifting and manual tools for precision." - Oded Nachshon, Head of Wix Editor
03. Review, refine and create your Wix Harmony site
After you tag @wix, ChatGPT responds with a summary of the planned site: what pages it will include, how they’ll be structured and what content it intends to generate.
This is a good stage to review the direction you’re taking. You have two options: click Create Site to proceed or write another message to adjust the plan before anything is built.
Refining the description at this stage costs nothing and is significantly faster than editing a built site that went in the wrong direction. If the planned structure doesn't match your vision (like having too many pages, missing a key section, wrong tone), adjust it here with a follow-up message.
Once you click Create Site, the build happens. When it's complete, the chat shows a preview of the website you can scroll through or view as a full screen. From there, three options appear:
Edit Site: opens the Wix Harmony Editor
Open in New Tab: shows your live site in the browser
Continue refining in the chat
The site is already live in your Wix account. It appears in your sites dashboard the same way any other Wix site would.
04. Open in the Wix Harmony Editor and refine with Aria
The Wix Harmony Editor is where your AI-generated draft becomes your professional website.
Wix Harmony is a hybrid AI creation and management environment for building and operating Wix sites. It gives you freedom to choose how you work: edit manually using drag-and-drop, continue through AI conversation with Wix's multi-skilled AI agent Aria, or combine both.
Working with Aria is a direct continuation of the ChatGPT workflow. Aria is trained on millions of real Wix websites and business configurations. She can generate new sections, rewrite copy in your brand voice, adjust layout, configure business tools and answer questions about your site, all through conversation.
You can access any site ChatGPT created from your Wix account's sites dashboard. And rest assured, the site doesn't disappear when you close the chat. It’s in your account permanently, like any other Wix site.
Here’s a quick summary:
Aria in Wix Harmony continues the AI workflow started in ChatGPT, with the same conversational model and deeper site access.
Wix Harmony provides precise drag-and-drop design alongside AI prompting in one hybrid editor. No AI is required if you prefer hands-on editing at this stage.
ChatGPT-created sites appear in your Wix account dashboard and can be accessed anytime.

05. Manage your Wix site over time with the Wix MCP
The @wix tag method is built for site creation, whereas the Wix MCP integration is built for everything after. The MCP (Model Context Protocol) gives ChatGPT live and ongoing access to your Wix site. It can read your current site structure, make real-time changes to content and settings, configure business tools and update SEO metadata, all through natural language in a ChatGPT session.
The difference matters. The @wix tag generates a site and places it in your account. ChatGPT’s involvement ends when you click ‘Edit Site.’ The Wix MCP keeps ChatGPT connected to your live site, so every conversation is a direct operation on the actual site. Wix enables ongoing site management through the MCP, not just a one-time build.
The Wix MCP server is designed for any MCP-compatible client. Developers and power users can connect Wix to Claude, Cursor or custom AI workflows using the same infrastructure that powers the ChatGPT integration.
Here’s a quick summary of what the Wix MCP integration offers:
Wix provides both the @wix tag for creation and MCP for management. Use both together for the complete workflow.
The Wix MCP gives ChatGPT live access to your site for real-time changes and business operations.
MCP supports content updates, website management, SEO, online scheduling, CRM and developer workflows.

Why make a website with Wix in ChatGPT anyway?
The Wix integration in ChatGPT is not a general-purpose AI that outputs code you then implement somewhere else. It’s a direct connection to Wix Harmony. The site that ChatGPT generates through @wix is a full Wix Harmony site, built on enterprise-grade infrastructure, optimized for mobile and SEO, and connected to Wix’s complete suite of business solutions.
Here’s what sets this Wix-powered workflow apart from other AI website approaches:
Wix Harmony delivers a complete, hosted site, not a draft. When you tag @wix, the result is a live website in your Wix account with web hosting, SSL security, domain readiness and built-in business tools. Other AI approaches produce raw content or code that still needs assembly, hosting and configuration.
Wix Harmony combines AI speed with manual control. The Wix Harmony Editor lets you flow between prompting Aria and precise drag-and-drop editing whenever it feels natural. You get the speed of AI without sacrificing pixel-level control over your vision. This hybrid approach is what makes Wix Harmony different from pure vibe coding platforms, where you’re locked into a text-only interface with limited visual customization.
Go deeper on vibe coding:
Wix provides Aria, a purpose-built AI agent, not a generic chatbot. Aria is trained specifically on web design and business strategy across millions of real Wix websites. She can restructure a page, generate new sections, rewrite copy in your tone, configure booking tools and surface site performance data, all through conversation. Wix built Aria as an expert partner, not a general-purpose language model.

Wix includes business infrastructure from the first prompt. Every Wix Harmony site comes with built-in capabilities for eCommerce, scheduling, payments, SEO tools, website analytics and more. Wix provides this business infrastructure by default. You don't need to add it after the fact.
Wix sites are secure, fast and fully managed. Wix handles hosting across multiple cloud providers, with 99.9% uptime, enterprise-grade website security and fast load times included. You don't need to manage servers, SSL certificates or software updates.

What your Wix Harmony site can do after you build it in ChatGPT
A site generated through the Wix integration in ChatGPT isn’t a stripped-down starting point. It runs on the same Wix Harmony infrastructure as any Wix site created through the standard editor, with all the same business capabilities available from day one.
For businesses that want to sell online, Wix provides a fully capable eCommerce platform. That includes product listings, payments, inventory management, shipping and tax calculations, all accessible through the Wix Harmony Editor.
For service businesses, Wix includes scheduling software that integrates directly into your site, so clients can book appointments, pay online and receive automated reminders.
Every Wix Harmony site also includes a built-in Site MCP endpoint. This means your site is automatically accessible to AI agents acting on behalf of your customers. These agents can browse your catalog, check availability and complete purchases through conversation. This is called agentic commerce: a shift from customer-operated storefronts to agent-operated purchasing flows.
