Your painting-business website, built by you — in one prompt
You quote from photos customers text you, your best work is scattered across your camera roll, and every "how much to paint my living room?" turns into a back-and-forth. Meanwhile the painters who show up first on Google get the calls. You want a professional painting website with a real portfolio and a quote request that captures the rooms and photos you need — built today, without a developer.
The new way
Describe your business in plain English; the AI builds the site, portfolio, and quote flow. One prompt, a live site, refine by asking. Here's a prompt for a painter.
Step 1 — Pick your platform
- Base44 — start here: portfolio and photo-quote form by prompt.
- Lovable — most design-forward (great for a visual portfolio).
- v0 by Vercel — cleanest UI for tinkerers.
The master prompt below works on all three. Not sure? Take the 60-second quiz →

Start free — see your painting website before paying anything
Build and preview free (Base44 25 credits/month; Lovable 5 daily; v0 limited daily). Paste, see your portfolio and quote form, decide. Your own domain needs a paid plan ($16–25/month). No credit card to start.
Two honest warnings
- Before/after photos sell the job. Make the portfolio easy to grow — add every finished job with a before and after.
- Quote the visit, not the final price online. Use the form to gather rooms and photos, but confirm price on-site; over-promising a number online leads to disputes.
