Website design

First, determine your website’s purpose. Will it be a simple blog? Or do you want to build an online store?

After that, secure a Hostinger Website Builder plan above, and follow these steps to design your own website:

1. Choose how to design – generate a site from scratch with AI or pick a ready-to-use template based on your niche.
2. Use our drag-and-drop editor to add new pages, customise background colours and fonts, move elements around, and more.
3. Generate relevant content for your headings, product descriptions, blog posts, image alt texts, and metadata with the help of our AI tools.
4. Preview your site to see how it looks on different devices. If you’re happy with the result, launch your website.

Both methods have their own benefits and drawbacks – it just depends on your preference.

With templates, much of the design work is already done. You can quickly launch your website by simply replacing the default content with your own.

However, popular themes might be used by many other websites. Unless you customise the design heavily, it’s harder for your site to stand out from the competition.

On the other hand, AI can produce unique and innovative website designs by learning from vast datasets of design principles. That said, to generate a cutting-edge website style and layout, your prompt should be clear and detailed enough.

The cost of designing a website depends on your site’s complexity. Professional website designers will charge you anywhere between US$ 50 to US$ 200 per hour or more.

Luckily, you don’t have to waste thousands of dollars designing your site – our plans start at just ₹149.00/mo. It already includes web hosting and a free domain name (if you choose the 12-month plan or above).

Plus, it comes with everything you need to build a beautiful website, including a suite of simple AI tools, 150 pre-made templates, and a drag-and-drop editor.

There are various types of web designs, and the best choice depends on your website’s purpose. Here are two of the most popular options:

Single-page layout: If your business has a narrow focus with a specific desired action, and you can convey your message concisely, a user-friendly single-page design is ideal.

Responsive design layout: Responsive design ensures that your website’s layout and content adapt smoothly across all screen sizes, from desktops to mobile devices. This enhances the user experience, so no matter your website type, designing with a mobile-first approach is essential. Hostinger’s website templates are mobile-responsive right from the start.
