Three ways to start

Describe it, import it or upload it

Start from whatever you have. Nali turns it into a fast, mobile-friendly business website you can keep editing.

Describe your business
Write a sentence or two in plain words, in English, French or Swahili. What you do, where you are and how customers reach you is enough.
Import your existing website
Enter the address of your current site. Nali reads your real details and rebuilds it with clearer copy and a fresh, modern design.
Upload your HTML
Already have HTML pages from a designer or an old site? Upload them and Nali turns them into an editable site on Hostnali hosting.

How it works

From idea to live website in four steps

Describe, import or upload
Tell Nali about your business, paste your current website address or upload your HTML files.
Pick a design
Choose from 109 designs for restaurants, salons, clinics, law firms, trades, schools, tours, online shops and more, 28 of them illustrated, or let Nali choose.
Edit by chatting
Ask for changes in plain words, like "make the header darker" or "add a pricing section", or click any text to change it.
Publish
Pay for hosting by card or bank transfer. Your site goes live on a free nalibuild.net address or your own domain.

What is an AI website builder?

An AI website builder writes and designs a website for you from a short description of your business. Instead of choosing a template, dragging blocks around and writing every heading yourself, you tell the builder what you do and it produces the pages, the text, the layout and the images in one go.

NaliBuild is Hostnali's AI website builder. Nali, the assistant inside it, writes your home, about, services and contact pages, picks photos that suit your business, creates a logo and fills in your phone number, WhatsApp, location and opening hours. You then refine the site by chatting in plain words, the same way you would brief a web designer.

Because NaliBuild runs on Hostnali hosting, the site you see while building is the site that goes live. There is no export step and no separate hosting account to set up.

Three ways to start a website with NaliBuild: describe your business, import your existing website or upload HTML

Change anything by chatting

Most website builders stop being easy the moment you want something changed. With NaliBuild you just ask. Nali understands requests like these and updates the site in seconds:

"Make the header darker and the buttons green"
"Add a pricing section with our three packages"
"Add our opening hours and a map to the contact page"
"Translate the whole site to French"
"Write a page about our catering service"

Prefer to do it yourself? Click any heading or paragraph on the page and type. Your changes are saved as you go, and once the site is published they go live in about a minute.

Editing a NaliBuild website by chatting with Nali, the AI assistant

Open an online shop

Add products with prices and photos and Nali turns on a cart and a checkout page. Customers pay by card or cash on delivery, with the delivery options you set.

Payments go straight to you: you connect your own payment accounts in the builder.
Every order is saved on your hosting and shown in the Orders tab of the builder, by email and, if you want, as a WhatsApp alert.
Five dedicated store designs with a search bar, category menu, promo banners and product rows.

Prefer to take orders on WhatsApp only? That works too.

Photos or illustrations

Every NaliBuild site gets real photos or hand-drawn illustrations, a logo, a contact page, a map and SEO text.

28 of the 109 designs use cartoon-style illustrations, which suit schools, NGOs, saccos, clinics and tour companies. You can switch any site between photos and illustrations at any time by asking Nali.

Restaurants, salons, shops, garages and artisans who need a professional site without a designer's budget.

Your own domain or a free nalibuild.net address

Every NaliBuild website is published with a free address like yourname.nalibuild.net, so you can go live straight away. When you are ready, use your own domain name: register a new one while publishing or point a domain you already own to Hostnali.

A .co.za domain costs R 150 a year with Hostnali and tells customers you are a South African business. You can register .co.za, .org.za, .africa and .com domains in the same client area where you manage your website and hosting.

Your business email, like [email protected], runs on the same cPanel hosting, so customers see one professional name on your website, your emails and your WhatsApp messages.

Built to be found on Google

A website only helps your business if customers can find it. NaliBuild sets up the technical basics that search engines look for, so you do not have to:

Clear titles and descriptions

Each page gets a title and a description written for what customers search for.

Fast, mobile-first pages

Most South Africans browse on their phones, so every design is made for small screens first.

A sitemap and clean addresses

Search engines can find and read every page.

Free HTTPS

The padlock that browsers and Google expect from a business site.

Your location and contact details

Your town, phone number and opening hours help you show up in local searches.

This has to be one of the best (reponsive) service I have experienced in my life. The useless host i was using couldn't fix the issues I had in 48 hours. I switched to Hostnali and it was fixed in less than 2 hours. You won't regret using this service.
Ogunronbi Victory8 months ago
The after-sales support is incredible. I was consistently impressed by the customer support team’s responsiveness; they were available at all hours, including late at night, providing prompt assistance whenever I needed it.

AI website builder FAQs

What is the best AI website builder in South Africa?

NaliBuild is built in Africa for African businesses. It writes your site in English, French or Swahili, adds a WhatsApp button and click-to-call, and publishes on Hostnali cPanel hosting you can pay for by card or bank transfer. Building is free, so you can try it before you decide.

Is NaliBuild free?

Building and editing your website are free and need no card. You only pay for hosting when you publish, from R 417 a year, which includes a free nalibuild.net address, SSL, email accounts, daily backups and cPanel access.

Do I need to know anything about websites?

No. If you can send a WhatsApp message, you can build a site with Nali. Describe your business in plain words and ask for changes the same way.

Can I import my existing website?

Yes. Choose "Import my existing website" and enter its address. Nali reads your real details and rebuilds the site with clearer copy and a fresh design. You can also upload your own HTML files.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes. Register a new domain while publishing, or point a domain you already own to Hostnali. Every plan also includes a free yourname.nalibuild.net address. See domain registration for prices.

Does NaliBuild include hosting and email?

Yes. Every NaliBuild website is published on Hostnali cPanel hosting with a free SSL certificate, business email accounts, daily backups and cPanel access to your files.

Can I sell products on my site?

Yes. Ask Nali to add a shop, or pick one of the online shop designs. Customers get a cart and checkout with card or cash on delivery. You add your own payment details in the builder, so the money goes straight to your accounts, and you see every order in the builder and by email.

Can my site use illustrations instead of photos?

Yes. 28 of the designs use cartoon-style illustrations, and you can switch any site between photos and illustrations by asking Nali.

Can I edit my website files in cPanel?

Please use the builder instead. NaliBuild publishes the whole site again each time you save, so changes made to the website files in cPanel or by FTP would be overwritten. cPanel is there for your email and anything outside the website; for something the builder cannot do, contact our support team.

How do I pay?

By card or bank transfer on your Hostnali invoice. Your website goes live automatically once the invoice is paid.

Can I edit my website after it is published?

Yes, any time, from the Hostnali client area. Chat with Nali or click any text to change it. Changes go live in about a minute.

What is the difference between NaliBuild and Hostnali web design?

With NaliBuild, AI builds the site in about a minute and you make the changes yourself. With our web design service, our designers build a custom site for you.

Can I build a website in French?

Yes. Choose English, French or Swahili as the site language before you start, or ask Nali to translate a finished site in one click.
