Can ChatGPT actually create a website?

ChatGPT can help generate website code (HTML/CSS/JS), page structure, copy drafts, and component ideas. It is useful for speeding up planning and implementation, especially for simple sites or prototypes. But it does not replace design judgment, content quality, and real testing. You still need hosting, a domain, and someone to ensure performance, accessibility, SEO basics, and conversion UX are handled properly. The best use is as an assistant: generate starting points, then refine with a real design system and QA.
