The prompt we used

To test each AI website builder we used the following prompt-

Create a luxury real estate website called “Skyline Properties”. Include Home, Properties, Developers, Locations, About Us, Blog, and Contact pages. Use a modern design with dark blue, gold, and white colors. Add property listings, search filters, featured projects, investment opportunities, inquiry forms, testimonials, and call-to-action sections. The website should be mobile-friendly, SEO-optimized, and designed to generate leads.
