Use Copilot to create a website

The easiest way to get started using Copilot is to use it to help with creating a website. You provide a description of the site you want to build, or you can select a suggested description of the site.

Descriptions might include something like the following:

  • Build a website for public transportation for residents of a city to view routes and fares.

  • Create a site for customers to help find financial advisors at a bank based on their qualifications and areas of expertise.
