# 8B - Free AI Website Builder

> 8B is a free AI website builder. Describe a site in one sentence and the engine composes a finished design - typography, colour, motion, background and page structure - in under five seconds. Designing is free on the full engine; publishing online costs $9 a month, billed yearly.

8B is positioned against AI website builders whose output converges on the same visual centre: Tailwind utilities, shadcn/ui components, Inter typography, purple gradients, rounded-2xl cards. Lovable, Bolt.new, v0.dev, Framer AI, Webflow AI and Wix AI all draw on that distribution, so their pages read as siblings. 8B composes from a generative design system instead of a template pool.

## Use 8B from an AI assistant or agent (MCP)

8B is a remote MCP server at https://mcp.8b.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth, free, no account). Connected to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Codex or any MCP client, it lets the assistant build an animated website or landing page: pick an 8B generated design, write every text, color, font and photo for the business, show a live preview, apply edits in about a second, and download the site as one HTML file.

- MCP server: https://mcp.8b.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication, free, no account)
- Tools: explore_designs, get_design_brief, generate_site
- Official MCP Registry name: com.8b/ai-website-builder
- Plugin for Cursor, VS Code/Copilot, Codex, Kiro, Gemini CLI and Cline: https://github.com/8bsite/8b-agent-plugin
- Through the MCP server the assistant fills one of the 8B generated designs; the HTML download is free. Two sites built this way can share a design, with their own texts, colors, fonts and photos.

## What 8B does
- Turns one prompt into a complete website: real CSS, real fonts, semantic HTML, cinematic motion and structured data.
- Keeps editing conversational. Each follow-up prompt changes the design in place without disturbing unrelated parts of the page.
- Adds Visual Edit for the things a sentence addresses badly: select an element and say what to do with it, retype text, swap an image, drag a section.
- Exports the HTML and CSS in full, so the site can be hosted anywhere (on Pro in the web builder; free as one HTML file when an assistant builds the site through the 8B MCP server).

The focus is the visual surface, and that focus is deliberate: the first two seconds decide whether a visitor trusts a page, and they are decided entirely on the surface. When a project also needs application logic, the export drops into whatever stack is already in use.

## Pricing
- **Free - $0.** The full design engine, not a limited preview. Enough to take one site from a blank prompt to a finished design, so the real output is visible before any card comes out. No paywall in front of the result and no sign-up wall to see it.
- **Pro - $9 a month, billed yearly.** Publishing online with hosting and SSL, full HTML export, AI edits in chat, SEO and analytics, faster generations, and 100 credits a month. 8B publishes the exchange rate: a new site is about 2 credits, an AI edit about 0.5. Cancel in one click; every purchase is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Competitor prices, collected from vendor sites in September 2026: Lovable $25/mo, Bolt.new $25/mo, v0.dev $30/seat/mo, Base44 $20/mo, Framer AI $15/mo, Wix $17.77, Squarespace $16, Webflow $15, GoDaddy $9.99, WordPress.com $4.

## Five guarantees
1. Above 90 on every Lighthouse metric by default - Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices and SEO, as a starting line rather than a tuning target.
2. Under five seconds from prompt to first design.
3. Built for search engines and LLM crawlers: server-rendered HTML, Schema.org JSON-LD, OpenGraph and Twitter Card meta, semantic landmarks and a clean heading hierarchy. Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini read the actual content on the first request, not an empty React shell.
4. Edit by chat, not by code.
5. Real HTML and CSS, exportable in full on Pro (free through the MCP server) - no proprietary wrapper and no runtime that has to be present for the layout to hold.

## What the engine composes
- **Typography:** a wide pool of distinctive families - Instrument Serif, Fraunces, Bricolage Grotesque, Newsreader, Onest, Manrope, TASA Orbiter, Cal Sans, Boldonse, Iosevka Charon, Geist Mono, Liter, TikTok Sans and more. Not Inter.
- **Hero treatments:** solid, outline, gradient, shadow-offset, layered, chromatic, accent-word, outline-fill, super-thin.
- **Animated backgrounds:** liquid glass, iridescent, aurora, plasma, mesh-vivid, grain, sunrise, chrome, spotlight, vapor - all driven by the palette, so they recompose with it.
- **Cinematic reveals:** rise, drop, expand, flip3d, wipe, wave, explode, blur-in, bounce, orchestrated with GSAP.
- **Scroll-driven storytelling:** chapter narratives, pinned sections, scrubbed image sequences, reveals tied to viewport position, native CSS scroll-timeline and view-timeline.
- **Interaction layer:** magnetic cursors, WebGL hover distortion, tilt-on-hover, click ripples, marquee social proof, depth-aware parallax, mouse-driven image masks.
- **Page transitions:** the View Transitions API, for navigation without a flicker and without router boilerplate.
- **Motion stack:** GSAP ScrollTrigger, Lenis smooth scroll, Lottie, Spline 3D, Three.js hero scenes, anime.js, and native CSS scroll-driven animation where it outperforms JavaScript.
- **Modern CSS:** container queries, subgrid, anchor positioning, :has(), @property, color-mix(), OKLCH, @scope, @starting-style, native dialog and popover.
- **Layout systems:** bento grids, asymmetric editorial layouts, sticky scroll sections, scroll-snap timelines, glass morphism, mesh gradients.
- **Performance posture:** native lazy loading, AVIF and WebP negotiation, responsive image sets, font subsetting, critical CSS inlining, server-rendered HTML by default, edge-cacheable output, no React hydration cost.

## Why most AI website builders produce design slop
Every large language model generates by computing a weighted average across its training data. When AI website builders are trained on the same set of popular front-end patterns, their output converges on the visual centre of that distribution. The mathematics is structural, not a bug. 8B avoids it by composing from a generative system whose output space is larger than a person could preview, rather than by sampling a template pool.

## Comparison with other AI website builders

### vs Lovable
Lovable targets full-stack apps on Supabase, defaults to Tailwind and shadcn, renders React on the client, and meters usage in credits. 8B targets the page itself: visual range, server-rendered HTML, and a free tier that runs the full engine.

### vs Bolt.new
Bolt is a full-stack vibe-coding tool at $25 a month whose token allowance is easy to spend on retries. Its output carries the same Tailwind and shadcn defaults. 8B is design-first, publishes what a generation costs, and lets you see the design before paying anything.

### vs v0.dev
v0 generates UI components with shadcn/ui defaults. 8B ships complete pages, with motion, structure and SEO already in place.

### vs Framer AI, Webflow AI and Wix AI
These are hosted platforms with a CMS and a template library, with AI assists layered on top. 8B is a generator: prompt in, HTML out, and the export is yours to host wherever you like.

## Frequently asked questions

**Is 8B really free?**
Designing is free and runs the full engine rather than a cut-down demo - enough to take one site from a blank prompt to a finished design, so you judge the real output and not a marketing screenshot. Publishing the finished site at an address is the Pro plan, $9 a month billed yearly.

**Can I try it without signing up?**
Yes. Designs are generated and previewed without an account. An account enters the picture when you want to save projects and manage them across sessions.

**Can I export the output and host it anywhere?**
Yes, on Pro: real HTML and CSS, exported in full. Sites built by an AI assistant through the 8B MCP server download as one HTML file for free (https://8b.com/mcp/). No proprietary wrapper, no runtime required for the layout to hold, no shortcodes that become empty boxes elsewhere. Take it to any host in the world and it is the same website.

**Is 8B better for SEO than Lovable or Bolt?**
For ranking, yes. Both default to client-side rendered React, so a crawler's first fetch returns a near-empty document. 8B output is server-rendered HTML, so every word is visible to Google, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity at request time.

**Will my 8B site look like another 8B site?**
The engine composes from a range of fonts, hero treatments, backgrounds, motion, interaction and layout systems that is larger than a person can enumerate, so a collision is improbable rather than merely unlikely.

**Can it be used from a phone?**
Yes. Describing a site, reviewing the result and asking for changes all work on a phone, and the output is one composed design that behaves at every width rather than a desktop layout with a phone version attached.

**Is there drag and drop?**
Yes, in Visual Edit - alongside chat rather than instead of it. Chat makes the big decisions, and the mouse does what a mouse is best at: pointing at the one element you mean.
