In this paragraph we will focus on the free version of the ZipWP AI

 WordPress builder. In the free version we’re kind of limited, but we

 can just start playing around and create some basic WordPress

 websites using the power of AI. Let’s go and see how it works.

 

This content is based on hands-on experience with WordPress and

 modern website-building tools, focusing on how these platforms are

 used in real projects, from setup and structure to design and

 customization. Now let’s see what we can do with the free version of

 ZipWP.

Now let’s see what I can do with the free version of ZipWP. This is

 quite interesting because we can test out some of the functionalities of this new AI builder.

The first thing we can do is create a staging site. If we go here and

 click on “create new,” we can create a blank website, which is the

 same link that we can find here on the left side. Basically, there are

 just different ways to reach this functionality. If we choose “create

 a blank site,” this is a simple test we can use, and it will create an

 

 empty website — a completely free, empty WordPress installation.

 I’ll name it WP Roads test site. It’s not a multisite and I’m not using a

 blueprint, so I click create site. In a few seconds, I can click here to

 log in to my website, which is quite amazing — it takes almost no time

 at all. This is my staging website, and if you have a free account, you

 can use these free staging websites for 24 hours, which is amazing.

 

You can basically use them to test things, tweak settings, and

 experiment with WordPress however you want. Of course, you need

 to be careful because in the free version you’re limited to a maximum

 of two websites, one gigabyte of disk space, and you can only be a

 solo team member. These staging sites also have an expiration date,

 and if you want to make them permanent, you need to upgrade.

 

Let’s see what else you can do with the free version. You can also

 build websites using AI. There are some limitations, but it’s still quite

 impressive. We start by giving the website a name — I’ll call it WP

 Roads. It’s a website for WordPress tutorials aimed at

 entrepreneurs, and the language will be English. After clicking

 continue, I need to describe the website. I can grab a couple of

 sentences from my actual site, insert them here, and even improve

 them using AI.

 

Next, I’m asked to provide contact details, which will be used on the

 website, for example on the contact or about page. I can skip the

 phone number and address, but I’ll add my YouTube channel. After

 that, ZipWP asks me to select relevant images. At the moment, it

 doesn’t generate images from scratch, so I just select images that

 match my taste or upload my own. I select a few images and

 continue.

 

Then I choose the website structure from several examples. I can

 preview different styles and see which pages and plugins will be

 included. In this case, I like the Spectra-based option with five pages:

 Home, About, Services, Blog, and Contact. I can upload a logo, manage

 fonts and colors, and select a color combination I like. Premium

 designs are locked behind an upgrade, so I stick with an included

 template and continue.

I can also choose whether to install additional plugins like

 donation tools, sales funnels, automation, or live chat. I decide to

 install them for testing. Then the site starts building. According to

 the website, it should take less than 60 seconds. Whether it’s exactly

 60 seconds or not, it’s still very fast.

 

Once it’s done, I get a URL, login credentials, and I can view the

 website. The homepage, about page, blog, and contact form are

 already in place, and the YouTube link works perfectly. The

 homepage looks good, includes placeholder reviews, and the blog

 structure is minimal but clean.

 

In the backend, I can see the installed plugins and theme. The theme

 used is Astra, and Spectra is installed for design blocks. Some

 plugins I don’t need, so I remove them. What’s interesting is that

 under Appearance, I also have a ZipWP option, which lets me

 customize the site using ZipWP’s own interface, separate from the

 standard WordPress Customizer. From there, I can change colors,

 fonts, and upload a logo in just a few seconds.

 

When editing pages, I can also use Spectra’s integrated design

 library. This library works with the ZipWP AI engine and lets me

 preview and personalize sections dynamically. I can update images,

 adjust colors based on my palette, and even regenerate call-to-

action sections using AI credits. Everything stays visually

 consistent, which is impressive.

 

Finally, back in the ZipWP dashboard, I can see my two staging

 websites, their storage usage, and their 24-hour expiration. These

 sites are perfect for quick tests, and if I’m happy with the result, I

 can recreate the site elsewhere. Projects and blueprints are locked

 behind an upgrade, but for a free plan, this is a solid starting point

 to understand how ZipWP works.

 

This is the free version of ZipWP — a practical way to get familiar

 with the tool and experiment with AI-powered website building.
