How BadPigeon works
BadPigeon uses purpose-built software to create a website from the information you provide. Tell us what your business, organisation or activity does, where it operates and how people should contact you, and the software places that information into a professional, mobile-friendly website.
You do not need to write code, arrange page layouts or make technical design decisions. You can choose the appearance you prefer and update the website whenever needed.
A suitable stock image is included initially. After the website has been created, you can keep that image or replace it with your own photographs and logo through Manage my website.
Using AI to help write or improve your wording is optional. When you request help, it provides a suggestion that you can accept, edit or disregard. Your website is not independently designed or controlled by AI.
Read our Responsible use of AI statement for information about oversight, safeguards and human review.
