Review: SODEW AI Builder
If you’re looking for a simple website creation tool that can help you not only build your dream website or e-shop but also assist with generating text and images, then SODEW AI might be one of the ideal options.
SODEW AI is a website-building tool based on the popular WordPress content management system. Thanks to its smart AI-powered extension, even complete beginners can create a website. However, this tool may not be suitable for professionals who need more advanced features. For users who want to create a website themselves without hiring developers, it offers excellent support.
Another great advantage is that you can try SODEW AI completely free of charge. In the future, a “pay what you want” system is planned, where users will decide how much the service is worth to them and set their own price. The question remains whether this approach might be abused—after all, why pay if you can get it for free?
What is SODEW AI Builder?
SODEW is a brand-new addition to website-building tools. It is developed by the company WEDOS and allows for straightforward website creation, not only for experienced developers (though they might find the options somewhat limiting) but especially for beginners creating their first site and needing a quality guide. Using artificial intelligence, you can create not only the website itself but also texts and images. The service replaces WEDOS WebSite, aiming to simplify website creation even further.
SODEW works in both English and Czech, making it accessible even to users with limited language skills. Thanks to its high-quality and very user-friendly guide, you won’t feel lost during the website-building process. You simply follow step-by-step instructions as the builder guides you. You can revisit and adjust individual steps during or after the creation process.
SODEW provides images from Pexels, which you can replace with your own or keep, depending on what suits your website. You can create a website to showcase your business, profession, hobby, blog, or even a simple e-shop.
With the help of AI in creating your website, entirely new possibilities open up. The AI listens to your wishes and commands, building the site accordingly. It’s natural to continue working with AI during website management to fine-tune and perfect your site.
Features
This web hosting is pre-configured to suit WordPress website hosting. As a result, you get high-quality performance. Additionally, artificial intelligence simplifies the creation and management of websites. You can switch to the full WordPress interface or stay in the WebSite AI settings, where SODEW also offers excellent customer support.
Migration of an existing website is not an issue here either. If you already have a website but are not satisfied with its pages and features, you can easily migrate it entirely to SODEW and continue using and customizing it as needed. However, it is necessary that the website was originally created on WordPress.
Domains
Thanks to the fact that SODEW AI is part of the WEDOS company, you can easily purchase a domain through it. You have access to more than 400 domain extensions. WEDOS is one of the largest hosting providers and domain registrars in the Czech Republic. Currently, they have included internet security among their leading services, which they improve through the WEDOS Global service. The process of working with and purchasing a domain via WEDOS can be a bit confusing for beginners, but through SODEW, everything is once again simple and seamless.
How to Create Your Own Website with SODEW AI
First, you choose the purpose for which you are creating the website. Will it be a business website, blog, or e-shop? Then, the builder will prompt you to create additional parameters – website name, adding the page’s logo, email and phone number, address, and optionally social profiles like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and others.
In the next step, you select the area or theme your website will focus on. You can also add a description of your website. There’s even a tip on what should not be missing from your website description. If you’re unsure what to write, you can use the provided suggestions. The advantage is that you can skip these steps and return to them later.
Next, the builder will prompt you to choose the goal of your new website—what you expect from it. You can select from predefined options, such as booking appointments, receiving phone calls, selling products, promoting events, and more. Based on your selection, features will be automatically added to make your website as functional as possible. You can select multiple options. However, I missed the option for a purely informational website to promote a specific name, company, or similar. For instance, when I simply want to inform clients about what I do without pushing for sales of services, products, or anything similar.
The next step allows you to choose your website design. You can select based on a color palette. The builder will offer you options based on the colors you prefer for your website. There are six basic variations, but you can generate additional suggestions. It’s up to you if you find the right design on the first try.
Afterward, you can start working on the pages you want to have permanently set on your website. The basic options include Home, About Me, Services, Portfolio, and Contact pages. These can be deleted or edited, and you can, of course, add additional pages according to your needs. You can rearrange individual pages by dragging them up or down as needed.
Then, you will finally reach the desired “Create Website” button. After pressing it, it takes approximately 1 to 2 minutes for the builder to create a website based on the settings you provided. The photos automatically set on the website are provided by Pexels. However, you can, of course, delete or modify them according to your preferences. You will get to this in the next steps.
Fine-tuning the website with the help of artificial intelligence
In the next steps, you will perfect your website. You can select the desired image for the homepage—or upload your own. You can also adjust the website’s color scheme and typography. By clicking “Continue,” you’ll enter the familiar WordPress environment, where on the left side, you’ll find a column with the basic requirements—posts, media, pages, etc.
At this moment, it’s good to note that you can either stay on WebSite AI, which is simpler and more suitable for inexperienced users when creating a website. If you are familiar with working in the WordPress interface, you can switch to WordPress AI and complete your website there. If you’re not very confident with WordPress, it’s better to stick with the original settings. SODEW AI wouldn’t be able to provide sufficient support if you encountered any issues.
Integration with Other Services
SODEW AI allows you to create a quality website managed through the WordPress interface. The easiest way to purchase and set up a domain is via WEDOS. You can easily link your website to social networks like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Pinterest. Integration with other services is not yet available. However, it’s important to note that this is a brand-new project that will continue to develop.
Security and Trustworthiness
The security of your website on SODEW is ensured by DDoS protection. This safeguards your website through 122 points of the worldwide WEDOS Global Protection network. This network ensures decentralization and caching of distributed content while also protecting against DDoS attacks and known viruses that threaten websites running on WordPress. Caching is handled via CDN.
Pricing
A website created through SODEW AI is free. You can pay as much as you think it’s worth—even $0. The company has a clear goal: to create a service that users genuinely appreciate. For this reason, they currently leave the pricing of the website entirely up to you.
The question is what the future holds. Currently, it is a “nascent” web tool that is just getting started. Offering a price at the discretion of the client is reasonable. However, in the future, there may be a situation where websites created through Sodew will become paid. Although, this might not necessarily happen. Since SODEW AI directs you to WEDOS, where you can purchase domains to give your website a professional appearance, it’s possible that this “revenue” will suffice for them.
According to the support, which is again artificial intelligence and should therefore be taken with a certain “grain of salt,” SODEW is currently completely free. In the future, they reportedly plan a payment system in the form of “pay what you want.” If this truly remains the case, this web tool could become very popular.
Pros and cons
| Pros (+) | Cons (-) |
|---|---|
| + A professional website creation tool ideal for beginners and those without experience. | - For experienced programmers, SODEW might be too simple and likely restrictive. |
| + You build a website with the help of artificial intelligence. | |
| + You can pay as much as you want for the website – even $0. | |
| + AI also helps with creating text and images for the website. | |
| + A rich selection of domains from a partner – WEDOS. | |
| + Smartly optimized for WordPress. |
Conlusion
Creating a new website with SODEW AI was really very easy for me. The individual steps are designed not to overwhelm the user with information while still providing maximum guidance on what needs to be done, written, set up, or inserted. Setting up the basic website took about 10 minutes. Of course, if you are creating the entire content right away, including links to social networks, website texts, and so on, it will take you longer. However, these can be added and fine-tuned later.
A big advantage for inexperienced users is the intelligent guide and the overall simplicity with which this web creation tool operates. However, it is clear that this is still a new, entirely fresh, and in many ways unfinished project. I believe that in the future, it will be a great help to many people who want to create their own website, have little or no experience, and do not want or cannot invest in professional developers.
