AI Built a Website in 10 Minutes — Replit Changed Everything

Why Most Business Websites Still Look Like They're From 2005

I was walking around San Francisco and noticed something. Half the local businesses have websites that look like they were built on GeoCities. Terrible fonts, broken layouts, zero mobile responsiveness.

So I decided to fix one. Live. On camera. Using nothing but Replit and my voice.

The result? A premium, modern, fully responsive HVAC website — built in under 10 minutes. No code. No templates. No Figma. Just natural language.

The Exact Prompt I Used

Here's what I typed into Replit. Nothing fancy:

"I want to completely redo this website using Vite plus shadCN. I want it to look like a million bucks. I want all the pages, all the navigation. Top navigation that scrolls to different sections. One-page landing page with all modern design elements. Hero section, map, contact form, gallery images, and all sections for HVAC."

That's it. Replit read the prompt, made a game plan, and started building.

What Replit Built Automatically

Within minutes, the AI generated a complete website with smooth scrolling navigation, a contact form with validation, an image gallery, an embedded map, mobile-responsive navigation, call-to-action buttons throughout, service area display, and a company information section.

I dragged in some images from the original site. Replit placed them automatically.

The ChatGPT Prompt Hack

Here's a trick if you don't know the right words to describe what you want. Go to ChatGPT and say:

"I want to build a modern HVAC website using Replit. Can you give me a detailed prompt that includes all sections, navigation, and design elements?"

ChatGPT will write you a perfect prompt with all the technical terms. Then paste that into Replit. Even if you don't know what "hero section" or "shadCN" means, ChatGPT handles the translation.

Adding a YouTube Video Section

After the main build, I wanted to add a video section. One prompt:

"Can you add this YouTube video in a video section?"

Done. Embedded, styled, responsive. Took about 5 seconds.

How to Turn This Into a Business

Here's the play. Find local businesses with ugly websites. Rebuild them with Replit. Send them the new version. Charge $500-2,000.

The conversation is simple: "Hey, I just built you a badass looking site. Hope you like it." Most business owners have never seen their site rebuilt in real time. It blows their minds.

The Bigger Picture

This is what vibe coding is all about. You describe what you want. AI builds it. You iterate with natural language. The barrier between "idea" and "live website" is basically gone.
