Website Builder (Remixer) overview

Overview

This article explains what Website Builder (Remixer) is, how to use it, and a few of its key features.

Background

Website Builder (Remixer) is an AI-powered tool that allows you to create, customize, and publish fast, static websites using natural language—no coding required.

Website Builder (Remixer) is designed for:

• Performance-first static sites
• Simple business websites
• Landing pages
• Content-focused sites with lightweight blogs, galleries, and forms
• Basic e-commerce via Stripe integration

It is not a traditional CMS like WordPress and does not install heavy backend software.

Eligibility & requirements

To use the Website Builder (Remixer), you must have:

• A fully hosted DreamHost website or subdomain
• No existing WordPress installation on that site

If you do not have hosting yet, or need a temporary domain. Add hosting first before accessing the tool.

Moving existing content to use Website Builder (Remixer)

To use Website Builder (Remixer), the domain must be eligible, meaning it cannot have existing website files or an active WordPress installation.

If you want to use Website Builder (Remixer) on a domain that already has content (for example, a WordPress site or custom files), you’ll need to remove or relocate that existing content first.

To make a domain eligible for Website Builder (Remixer), you have two options: 

• Delete existing files on the domain, or
• Move the existing website content to another domain, keeping it available elsewhere

How to move existing content to another domain

If you choose to keep the current custom files, you can move them to a different domain by following these steps:

1. Navigate to the Manage Websites page.
2. Click the Manage button to open Website settings, which allows you to modify various configurations for your site.
   • If in Grid view, click the Manage button at the bottom of the website box.
   • If in List view, click the Manage button at the far right of your domain name.
3. Click the Remixer tab.
4. Scroll down to the Move Website to a Domain section, click Modify.
5. Select the destination domain where the existing files should be moved.
6. Click Start Move to initiate the move and wait for the process to complete.

Once the content has been moved successfully, the original domain will no longer contain site files and will become eligible for Website Builder (Remixer). 

At that point, the option to launch the tool will appear, and you can begin creating a site with Website Builder (Remixer).

Editing Modes

Website Builder offers two distinct ways to edit a site: Preview Chat Mode via prompt and Editor Direct Mode. You can switch between these editing styles at any time.

Preview (Conversational) Mode

This is the primary user experience. You describe changes in conversation with the tool and preview changes being made. Additionally, you can target specific elements using the element selector (arrow icon) to edit a specific section of the site.

Every time the tool completes a requested edit, it automatically saves the changes.

Editor Mode

Editor Mode lets you make direct, hands-on edits to the website. Instead of asking for changes through chat prompts, you can click the arrow selector and select individual sections of the page to edit them directly.

You will be able to edit any site section, including texts, formatting, and images.

Insert image/file into the chat

There are two ways to insert images or files to ask the tool to complete a process:

• Click the Attach file button and choose a file from your computer.
• Paste from the clipboard — you can upload a file or any screenshot/image you’ve copied. For example, you take a screenshot to the clipboard or click 'Copy' on an image, and then simply paste it into the chat. 

This way, you can send a file/image/screenshot and ask Remixer to do something with it

Ecommerce with Website Builder (Remixer)

Website Builder (Remixer) allows you to create an online store and sell products directly from your website. The process is designed to be simple and flexible, without requiring advanced technical knowledge.

To accept payments, ecommerce functionality is implemented using Stripe. Stripe is a secure payment platform that handles transactions, checkout, and payment processing, while Website Builder (Remixer) focuses on building and displaying the storefront on the website.

You can manage your products and payments through Stripe, and Website Builder (Remixer) can place the necessary payment components, such as buttons or checkout links, directly into the site. 

Integration methods

Stripe offers a few different integration approaches. The best choice depends on how 'hands-on' you want to be and whether you want a simple link-based checkout or a more customized embedded experience.

Getting the most out of Website Builder (Remixer)

Website Builder (Remixer) is a fast, AI-driven, static website builder designed to remove friction from web creation while maintaining performance, portability, and ownership.

It complements—not replaces—WordPress and is ideal for customers who want speed, simplicity, and control without managing a traditional CMS.

Writing effective prompts

To write an effective prompt, clearly describe:

• What you like
• What you dislike
• Why the current state isn’t ideal
• Use multiple descriptions if needed
• Define boundaries (colors, layouts, tone)
• State acceptance criteria
