Make a school project website where the work is yours

Check the rules before you start

Schools and teachers have different policies on AI tools. Some allow them for layout but not for writing; some want a declaration of what you used; some don't allow them at all. Ask, and keep a short note of what you used each tool for. If your assignment is about learning to code a website by hand, an AI builder isn't the right tool, and that's fine.

Plan the content first, on paper

A good project site reads like a short report split into screens. Before you open any builder, write out:

1. Your question or topic in one sentence. "How does the temperature of water affect how fast sugar dissolves?" is a project; "Sugar" is a subject.
2. What you did: your method, steps and materials, in order.
3. What you found: your results as a table, plus a chart image if you made one.
4. What it means: your conclusion, what went wrong and what you'd change.
5. Sources: every book, article and site you used, in the format your teacher wants.

Those five become your pages or sections. For a history or English project, swap method and results for background, argument and evidence. The one-page website guide covers fitting it all on one scrolling page, which suits most school projects.

Using Anticode for the layout

Describe the shape of the site and paste in your own text: "a one-page school project site about dissolving sugar, with sections for question, method, results, conclusion and sources; here's my writing". Anticode lays it out in one of seven design systems, so the fonts, colours and spacing agree without you fighting a template. Ask it to keep your words as they are. If it rephrases something, change it back in the visual editor, where you click on text and edit it in place.

To show your own photos of the experiment or fieldwork, ask for an app build, which uses photos you upload, or add them as entries in a CMS collection whose image field holds hosted addresses. Write alt text for each, describing what the photo shows. Anticode's design gate won't publish images without it, and it's good practice for your marks.

The checks that help a project

Anticode's Critic runs design checks on every build, and the design gate blocks placeholder text, stock phrases and empty links (a link with nothing to go to). Those catch problems teachers notice: a line of dummy text left in a section, or a heading that sounds like an advert. Read the notes and fix them before you hand in. Neither check opens your source links to see if they still work, so click every one yourself: a link that works is part of citing your sources.

Handing it in as one file

Many teachers can't open a link to a site that needs an account, and school networks sometimes block unfamiliar addresses. Anticode can export your site as one self-contained HTML file: a single file that opens in any web browser, offline, with no installation. Upload that to your school's platform or put it on a memory stick. Open it yourself on a different computer before the deadline to be sure.

What Anticode can't do for you

• It can't do the research. It only knows what you give it, and teachers can tell when content wasn't written by the student.
• No charts from your data. Make your chart in a spreadsheet and add it as an image.
• No interactive quizzes on a page site. If your project needs one, an app build can make it, but check that's allowed.
• English only. The builder and the pages it makes are in English.

Questions people ask

Do I need an account to make a school project website?

Preview builds of pages run in your browser with no account. Builds written by the model, and publishing, need an account.

How do I submit a website for an assignment?

Ask your teacher. If they want a file, export the site as a single HTML file and upload it; if they want a link, publish it.

Is it cheating to use AI for a school website?

It depends on your teacher's rules. Using a builder for layout while writing every word yourself is allowed in many classes, but always ask and say what you used.
