The next generation of AI-powered website creation is here—completely rebuilt, infinitely more powerful, and now working directly on live WordPress sites.

We've been busy. Since our last update, we haven't just improved the GoDaddy Airo®​​ Site Designer, we've completely rebuilt it from the ground up. This isn't an incremental update. This is a new era for AI-powered WordPress website creation, and we're thrilled to share what's new.

The big picture: A complete rebuild

Everything you loved about Airo™ Site Designer is still here, but now it's faster, smarter, and works on live WordPress sites. Here's what that means for you:

  • Live site generation: Build and edit directly on real WordPress installations
  • 🎨 Full site editing: Powered by the modern Twenty Twenty-Five (TT5) theme
  • 🛒 WooCommerce ready: Complete ecommerce setup, from products to checkout
  • ✏️ Full WordPress access: Edit inline through the block editor or use wp-admin directly
  • 🔌 Plugin freedom: Install any plugin from the entire WordPress repository
  • 🆓 Try Before You Buy: Start building immediately with zero friction

Built from the ground up

Why we rebuilt everything

The original Airo™ Site Designer was a preview, a glimpse of what AI could do for WordPress. But we wanted more. We wanted to create something that doesn't just show you a website, but actually builds one you can use, customize, and grow.

So we started fresh.

What this means for you:

  • Your site isn't a preview anymore, it's real, live WordPress
  • Every change you make is happening on actual WordPress infrastructure backed by Managed Hosting for WordPress.
  • You get the full power of WordPress, not a simplified version

Powered by modern WordPress

We've embraced WordPress Full Site Editing (FSE) and built everything on the Twenty Twenty-Five theme. This isn't just a technical choice, it's about giving you:

  • Future-proof design: TT5 is the latest default WordPress theme, built for modern web standards
  • Complete customization: Full Site Editing means you control every aspect of your site
  • Block-based flexibility: Add, move, and style content with WordPress's native block editor

Next-generation AI: Powered by MCP

Behind the scenes, we've integrated the latest Model Context Protocol (MCP) technology. Think of it as giving Airo™ Site Designer an entirely new brain, one that can interact with WordPress the way a professional developer would.

What this means for you:

  • Smarter understanding of your requests
  • More accurate site generation
  • The ability to perform complex tasks like plugin installation and WooCommerce setup

Try before you buy: Zero friction start

We believe you should experience Airo™ Site Designer before committing. That's why we've introduced our Try Before You Buy option.

How it works:

  1. Start building your site immediately, no payment required
  2. See exactly what Airo™ creates for your business
  3. Purchase only when you're ready to take your site live

No credit card. No commitment. Just start creating.

WooCommerce Integration: Your complete online store

This is one of our most requested features, and we've delivered it in a big way. Airo™ Site Designer now handles your entire ecommerce setup:

  • Automatic WooCommerce installation: We handle the technical setup
  • Product creation: Describe your products and we'll create them
  • Shopping pages: Professional product displays that convert
  • Checkout setup: Complete, secure checkout flow ready to accept orders

What this means for you: Starting an online store used to require hours of setup and configuration. Now? Just tell Airo™ what you're selling, and we'll build your entire storefront.

Smarter refinement and editing

We've completely re-imagined how you interact with Airo™ after your initial site generation. Our improved refinement experience gives you more control and more accuracy than ever before.

Request more of what you need

Your conversation with Airo™ doesn't end at site generation. Now you can ask for:

  • More products: Expand your WooCommerce catalog with a simple request
  • Additional pages: Need an About page? A portfolio? Just ask.
  • New content: galleries, testimonials, service descriptions, you name it, Airo™ creates it
  • Plugin installation: Request any plugin from the WordPress repository and we'll install it

Enhanced accuracy

We've refined how Airo™ understands and executes your requests. Fewer "that's not what I meant" moments, more "that's exactly what I wanted" results.

Your WordPress, your way

Here's something we believe deeply: AI should enhance your control, not replace it.

That's why Airo™ Site Designer gives you full WordPress admin access. You're not locked into an AI-only experience. You have the complete WordPress toolkit at your fingertips.

Edit inline, anytime

See something you want to tweak? Click directly into the WordPress block editor and make changes yourself. No need to describe what you want to AI, just edit it the way millions of WordPress users already know how.

Full wp-admin access

Need to dive deeper? Access the complete WordPress admin dashboard directly within Airo™ Site Designer. Manage settings, install themes, configure plugins, update menus—everything you'd expect from a full WordPress installation.

The best of both worlds

  • Use AI when you want to generate content, add pages, or make sweeping changes
  • Use WordPress when you want precise, hands-on control
  • Switch freely between both, there's no wrong way to build your site

What This Means for You: You're never stuck waiting for AI if you know exactly what you want. And you're never overwhelmed by WordPress if you'd rather let AI handle the heavy lifting.

Install any WordPress plugin

This is a game-changer. Airo™ Site Designer can now install any plugin from the WordPress repository, all 60,000+ of them.

Examples of what you can request:

  • "Add a contact form plugin"
  • "Install an SEO plugin"
  • "Set up a booking system"
  • "Add social media feeds"

Just describe what you need, and Airo™ handles the rest, finding the right plugin and installing it.

What this means for your business

For new users

You can now go from idea to fully functional WordPress website, including e-commerce, in minutes. And you can try it all before spending a dime.

For existing users

Everything you loved is still here, but now you're working on a real WordPress site with real WordPress power. The training wheels are off.

Looking ahead

This rebuild is just the beginning. We're continuing to push the boundaries of what AI can do for WordPress:

  • More plugin integrations: Expanding what Airo™ can install and configure
  • Deeper customization: Even more control over every aspect of your site
  • Smarter AI: Continuous improvements to accuracy and understanding
  • Advanced ecommerce: More WooCommerce features and capabilities
