How to Make a Website on Your Phone (iPhone or Android)

Yes, you can make a website on your phone. Install the WisyLink app for iPhone or Android, describe the site in a chat and attach photos from your camera roll. Wisy builds and hosts it at a live address that opens in any browser. You can keep editing, get notified when builds finish and connect your own domain.

• The phone app builds a real website, not an app: it lives at its own https address and opens in any browser.
• Attach up to 10 photos or files per message, 25 MB each, from your photo library or the Files app, to use on the site or as reference.
• The app tells you when a build is done, and a Stop button halts a build that is heading the wrong way.
• On any plan you can connect and verify a domain you own without leaving the app. Creating API keys happens on the web.
• Dictation makes a detailed brief practical on a small screen. Type prices and phone numbers yourself.

Can you really build a website on a phone?

Yes, as long as the phone is where you describe and review, not where you drag boxes around. Nudging a text block into place with your thumb gets old fast. With a chat-based builder you say what the site should do, and the layout, code and hosting happen on servers. Your phone only does what it is already good at: typing or dictating, picking photos and checking the result.

WisyLink's iPhone and Android apps share one account with the web app at wisylink.com, so your chats, sites and plan are the same everywhere. Start a site on the bus and finish it on a laptop, or never open a laptop at all.

What you end up with is a website, not a mobile app. Each project (WisyLink calls it a link) goes live at https://<id>.wisylink.com, and later on your own domain if you want one. Pages are built mobile-first and adapt to desktop screens, with titles, descriptions, a sitemap and a share image included. When the project needs them, it also gets saved data, customer logins, file uploads and payments through your own Stripe account. Visitors open it from a link or a QR code, with nothing to install. If you need an App Store listing, this is the wrong tool.

Is the app free? The download is free, and every account starts on the Community plan without a card. Community gives you a rolling allowance with one build per 5-hour window, and its links stay live for 30 days plus one more week marked for deletion. Paid plans cost $7, $20 or $100 a month (see plans and pricing); they keep links live while you're subscribed, and your own domain works on any plan.

Install WisyLink for iOS or Android

1. Download the app. Get it from the App Store for iPhone and iPad or from Google Play for Android.
2. Pick your language. The app comes in nine languages, and you can switch later in your account.
3. Create your account. Sign up with an email and password, a one-time code sent to your inbox, or your Google, Apple or GitHub account. The same login works on the web.
4. Turn on build alerts. Open Account, then Preferences, and set "Generation completed" to push, email or both.
5. Start a chat. Tap New chat. Wisy, the assistant, turns your description into a build.

Describe your site and attach photos from your camera roll

The first message decides most of the result, so give it the facts only you know: who the site is for, what a visitor should do (call, book, order, ask), which sections you need, the real content (services, prices, hours, address) and the look you like. A mobile dog groomer might send:

Build a website for Paws on Wheels, a mobile dog-grooming van in Austin. Visitors should book a slot or call us. Sections: home, services with prices (bath and brush $40, full groom from $65, nail trim $15), a photo gallery, reviews and a short about page. Use the attached photos: the first one is the van, for the top of the home page; the rest go in the gallery. Booking: customers pick a service and a free one-hour slot, Tuesday to Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm, and no slot can be booked twice. Show me bookings in a private admin area. Friendly look in teal and white. Add a tap-to-call button for (512) 555-0147.

To attach files, tap the attach button next to the message box and choose Photo library (photos and videos, iPhone HEIC included) or Files (PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, text, MP3, ZIP and more). There is no camera button inside the chat, so take the picture with your camera app first. Three habits help:

• Say where each photo goes. "First photo in the header, the rest in the gallery" beats letting the builder guess.
• Photograph what you already have. A paper price list, a flyer or a menu board can serve as reference. Check every figure on the finished page, because a misread $45 is easy to miss.
• Expect stock photos where you send none. Without your photos, the site uses stock images or hand-drawn vector art. WisyLink does not generate AI photos, so plan to swap in real pictures of your work.

Wisy either asks one short question or starts building. If it asks, say, whether you take card payments online, answer just that. The Reference files button at the top of the chat lists every file Wisy can read for this site.

Watch the build and get a notification when it's done

Once Wisy has what it needs, the build starts and a live report in the chat ticks off each task. During the very first build, the site's address shows a "building" page. You can close the app: with build alerts on, your phone tells you when the site is ready.

Spotted a mistake in your own brief halfway through, such as the wrong opening days? Tap Stop, correct the message and send it again rather than waiting for a build you know is wrong.

The build ends with a short note summarizing what was made and what you still need to do. If the site takes payments or sends email, the note names the keys to add under Integrations; those features stay off until you do. Then tap the preview button to open the live site inside the app, try it as a customer would, and share the link with a friend for a second opinion.

On Community, a build uses up the 5-hour window, so a complete first message pays off. The Insights tab shows how much of your 5-hour and weekly allowance is left.

Make changes on the go

Every change is a message in the same chat: "Make the gallery photos larger", "Add Sunday hours, 10 am to 2 pm". Each change runs as a new build. If a build fails, the previous version stays live; a successful one goes live as soon as it finishes, so look at the site after each.

• Group small edits. Three related fixes in one numbered message cost one build instead of three, which matters on the free plan. Keep unrelated, larger changes separate so each is easy to check.
• Use the admin area for content. Bookings, products or posts stored in the site's database need no build; edits there reach visitors within about a minute, and the admin pages work in your phone's browser.
• Add keys in Integrations, never in the chat. The Integrations button at the top of the chat lists each service the site uses, marked Ready or showing how many keys it still needs. Values are encrypted and never shown again.

Connect your domain and edit DNS from the app

A domain such as pawsonwheels.com looks better on a van door than a wisylink.com address. You can connect a domain you own on any plan, and it all works from the phone:

1. Add the domain. Open Account, then Domains, and enter the name. The app checks it and offers two ways to connect.
2. Pick a connection method. Single record keeps your DNS where it is: you add the record the app shows at your registrar, and your email (MX) records are untouched. Use nameservers moves the domain's DNS to WisyLink, which gives you a DNS manager in the app and lets you put sites on subdomains. It replaces every existing record, email included, so recreate those first.
3. Start verification. After you've made the change at your registrar, start verification from the domain's card. Checks repeat automatically for up to 6 hours; DNS changes can take a few minutes or longer to spread, depending on your provider.
4. Deploy the site to it. When the domain shows Verified, open the site's chat, tap Domains and deploy. The site moves from its wisylink.com address to your domain, and the HTTPS certificate is issued automatically.

Each site has one active domain at a time; removing it sends the site back to its wisylink.com address. For domains on WisyLink's nameservers, the app's DNS manager handles A, AAAA, CNAME, MX and TXT records, so you can add an email or verification record from your phone. You can also tell Wisy in the chat, "connect pawsonwheels.com to this site", and it walks you through the same steps. Do this before you print flyers or QR codes, so they carry the address you'll keep. The full walk-through is in how to connect a custom domain to your AI-built website.

What to do on the web instead (API keys)

Almost everything works in both places. Creating API keys needs a browser at wisylink.com, and upgrades take a different route on each:

Mobile list prices match the web ($7, $20 or $100 a month), but the stores charge in your local currency. A subscription is managed where you bought it: one started in the app is changed or cancelled in your phone's subscription settings. Pick one place to pay so you never pay twice.

Tips for writing good prompts on a small screen

Thumb-typed briefs come out short, and short briefs leave the builder guessing. These habits keep the detail in:

• Dictate the description. On iPhone, tap the Dictate button on the keyboard; if it's missing, turn on Enable Dictation in Settings, under General and Keyboard (Apple's dictation guide). On Android with Gboard, tap the microphone at the top of the keyboard (Google's voice typing help). Speak in full sentences, then read the text back before sending.
• Type the numbers. Dictation easily garbles prices, times, phone numbers and street names, and those are the details customers act on.
• Draft in your notes app. A long brief is easier to fix there; then paste it in. One message holds up to 5,000 characters, plenty for a full brief.
• Write one line per topic. "Pages: …", "Booking: …", "Look: …" survives dictation and editing better than one long paragraph.
• Reuse text you already wrote. Your Instagram bio, your Google business description or a menu PDF gives Wisy real wording to start from.
• Show, don't describe, the style. Attach a screenshot of a site you like and say what to borrow: "use this layout feel, not its text or colors".

When the result misses, describe what you see and what you want instead ("the booking button is below the fold on my phone; put it under the headline"). For ready-made briefs by business type, borrow from these AI website builder prompt templates, and if a booking calendar is the heart of your site, read the guide to building a booking website with AI.

Get the app and describe your site

Install WisyLink from the App Store or Google Play, tap New chat and send your first description with three or four of your best photos. You'll get a live link to share, and you can keep refining it from wherever you are. Prefer a keyboard for the first draft? Start free on the web with the same account and pick it up on your phone later.
