How to Use AI to Build Layouts for Your Website

Artificial intelligence has revolutionized the way we work, and web design is no exception. AI models like ChatGPT have become incredibly powerful, generating clean, structured, and optimized code in seconds. They can create responsive layouts, UI components, and entire website sections with just a simple text prompt. But while AI-generated code is impressive, integrating it into a design workflow can still be a challenge.

That’s where Ycode’s HTML Import & Export feature comes in. It allows you to seamlessly import AI-generated HTML, especially those built with TailwindCSS, and start designing instantly—no coding required! Now, you can take full advantage of AI-generated code and refine it visually in Ycode.

Why This Feature is a Game-Changer

Traditionally, creating website layouts requires a lot of manual work—designing, structuring, and styling each section from scratch. With Ycode’s HTML Import, you can:

✅ Instantly bring in Tailwind-based HTML layouts – No need to start from zero! Import ready-made Tailwind components and frameworks.

✅ Speed up the design process – Generate layouts using AI tools like ChatGPT, import them into Ycode, and refine them visually.

✅ Seamlessly customize and edit – Once imported, use Ycode’s visual editor to tweak the design, adjust styles, and add content effortlessly.

✅ Export clean, usable HTML – Need to share or move your work? Export your projects with clean, optimized code.

How to Use HTML Import in Ycode

1. Generate HTML with Tailwind CSS

   • You can use AI tools like ChatGPT to generate responsive TailwindCSS layouts instantly.

   • Example prompt for ChatGPT: "Generate a Testimonials section in HTML + TailwindCSS with a centered heading, a three-column layout on desktop (stacked on mobile), and each testimonial featuring a circular avatar, bold name, star rating, and a short quote. Ensure a responsive, minimal design with soft shadows, rounded corners, and a light gray background."

   • Copy the generated code.

2. Import the Code into Ycode

   • Go to Ycode and create a new project.

   • Right click on Body layer, and choose Import HTML, then paste your TailwindCSS-based HTML code.

   • Ycode automatically recognizes and structures the design, making it easy to edit visually.

3. Customize and Publish

   • Adjust colors, fonts, and layout using the visual editor.

   • Connect CMS data, add animations, and tweak the design to perfection.

   • Publish the site instantly with Ycode’s built-in hosting.
