How My 5-Year-Old Built a Squarespace Website Using Blueprint AI
A few weeks ago, my 11-year-old sat down with his 5-year-old brother, Omni, and together, they built a website.
Not a school project. Not a pretend “make-believe” website. A real, functional, live website—built in under an hour using Squarespace’s Blueprint AI. Cuz you know, a website makes it real.
And honestly? It was inevitable.
My 11-year-old built his first website at four—so when Omni saw him updating his site, he wasn’t about to be left out.
“Can I make one too?”
Sure, why not use Blueprint AI?
Omni is deep in his Godzilla era. His life revolves around big teeth, big monsters, and big booms. His drawings? Kaiju battles, volcano explosions, and dinosaurs with laser vision.
Normally, that would mean taping them to the fridge. But not today.
Today, Omni was about to go digital.
The 11-year-old took the lead. He sat down, laptop open, and started asking Omni questions while clicking through Squarespace’s Blueprint AI.
Big brother: “Okay, what kind of vibe do you want?”
Omni: “Dinosaurs and fire.”
Big brother: “There’s ‘Friendly,’ ‘Bold,’ ‘Professional,’ and ‘Quirky.’”
Omni: “Quirky. Because I like funny stuff.”
Big brother: “Alright, now colors. What’s your favorite?”
Omni: “GODZILLA FIRE.”
That’s not a real color, but it became one.
Big brother scrolled through palettes until they found something close—neon green and lava red.
Omni’s face lit up.
“This looks like a MONSTER site.”
AI as a Creative Sidekick
Then came the text suggestions.
Blueprint AI offered something polished:
“Explore Omni’s delightful world of creativity and color!”
Omni frowned.
“No. It needs to say BIG TEETH. BIG MONSTERS. BIG BOOMS.”
So big brother changed it.
AI wasn’t doing the work for them—it was laying the template.
It gave structure, but the creativity was all them.
The Grand Launch
Once they picked a Gallery layout, Omni grabbed the iPad and started choosing which drawings to upload.
Crayon Godzillas, a T-Rex mid-roar, and something that looked like a shark with jet engines.
His big brother typed up an “About Me” page, translating Omni’s thoughts into words.
Then came the final moment.
Big brother clicked “Publish.”
First visitor? Grandma.
Her reaction? “Wait… Omni made this?!”
With a little help of course.
