6 Building a landing page with ChatGPT: Part 2

As demonstrated in previous chapters, ChatGPT’s ability to generate code opens up possibilities for tasks typically out of reach for non-coders. This includes creating websites - a particularly useful application for individuals like Bob, a fitness trainer with no coding skills. Using ChatGPT as a personal website builder, we will methodically construct Bob’s landing page in this chapter, integrating the text, images, and content crafted in the preceding sections. By the end of this chapter, you will have successfully utilized ChatGPT to design a visually appealing landing page, as seen in Figure 6.1. You can find a link to a live demo of this landing page here: https://natassha.github.io/bobslandingpage.
