Crafting a successful website takes time. It’s a process that demands both creativity and precision. But, it doesn’t have to be a guessing game. With so many moving parts and components to consider, efficient planning is key. That’s why Elementor is thrilled to launch Site Planner—your AI-powered partner for website planning designed by professionals, for professionals, helping you reach a first draft faster than ever before!
This innovative tool adapts to your workflow, whether you’re building a straightforward landing page or a more complex multi-page site. It simplifies the planning phase by generating a brief, a visual sitemap, and content-rich wireframes tailored to your client’s needs. This means you can quickly prototype ideas, align on scope, and minimize back-and-forth before heavy design work begins.
With a foundation rooted in best practices, Site Planner equips you with tools to streamline client collaboration, set clear expectations, and move confidently into the design phase. Save time, reduce complexity, and focus on creating impactful websites.
Choose Your Path: 3 Ways to Begin Your Website Planning
Site Planner begins by collecting your website’s vision and goals as the foundation to create a project brief. There are three flexible ways to start your brief inside the planner, each designed to streamline your workflow and ensure a smooth, aligned planning process:
- AI-Led Conversation
Engage in an AI-guided conversation, where you can define your project’s key objectives and outline your website’s vision—all in your preferred language. The AI supports multi-language input, allowing you to converse in languages other than English, making it accessible to a global audience. While the final output is currently generated in professional-grade English, we’re actively working on expanding language support, setting you up for success in any market.
Why Choose This Path?- Helps refine ideas if your project vision isn’t fully formed.
- Great for creators who prefer working at their own pace.
- Quickly generates a professional framework, even from minimal input, within minutes.
- Google Meet Integration
Turn your client meetings into actionable outputs by integrating Site Planner with Google Meet. As you discuss the project, AI captures key insights in real time, organizing them into a structured starting point for your sitemap and wireframe. No more post-meeting recaps—just a clear, actionable plan that stays true to your client’s vision.
Why Choose This Path?- Keeps the process client-centered, ensuring alignment.
- Eliminates manual note-taking and follow-ups.
- Captures every detail without the risk of it being lost in translation.
- Upload an Existing Brief
If you already have a brief or notes from your client, simply upload them to Site Planner. The tool automatically converts this information into a tailored site plan, giving you a strong starting point for your project with minimal effort.
Each of these options allows you to capture and organize client requirements quickly. This brief helps establish the direction of the project from the outset, providing clarity before diving into detailed design work.
From Brief to Sitemap
Once you’re finished with the brief, it’s time to move onto your customized sitemap that’s just as easy to refine. You are in full control to add, remove, or move sections around within a page, as well as dive into individual sections to make adjustments. If required, you can also create additional pages at this time. Just give the page the name, click ‘generate’ and watch the page come to life before your eyes.
The Sitemap is a crucial element of the Site Planner.
- It provides a clear, visual structure of the website’s hierarchy, ensuring that every desired page and topic is captured upfront.
- For web creators, it acts as a blueprint, streamlining your workflow and helping you stay organized.
- For clients, it offers an easy-to-understand roadmap of their website, reducing confusion and aligning everyone on the project’s scope and direction.
This professional approach not only saves time but also fosters confidence and trust with your clients.
Content-Rich Wireframes: The Intelligent Next Step in Site Planning
The next stage of your process brings your vision into focus: creating your wireframe. High-fidelity wireframes are more than a structural blueprint—they’re a powerful tool to guide your design and bring clarity to your work.
At this stage, it’s all about shaping the site’s foundation. These wireframes help you visualize the structure, content flow, and layout, giving you a clear direction before diving into the design phase. Each wireframe is intelligently organized based on best practices and your project objectives. It includes content-rich placeholders with subject-relevant copy, ensuring you have a strong starting point. While the ability to download and share these wireframes with your clients is coming soon, they’re already a valuable asset for refining your site plan and solidifying your creative vision. You can easily regenerate layouts at this time and remove anything you don’t feel fits your vision.
Why it’s a game-changer:
- Accelerates client buy-in with clear, tailored visualizations.
- Reduces rework by aligning creators and clients early.
- Speeds up the design process with a detailed, actionable blueprint.
Together, the professional brief, sitemap, and wireframes transform website planning into a streamlined, collaborative process, saving time and ensuring clarity and alignment.
