Why choose Looops over WordPress
WordPress runs on older technology and a stack of plugins you have to install, update, and keep patched, and your design is shaped around whatever theme you pick. Looops builds a modern site for you from a chat in minutes, with a database and forms built in, fully hosted, and nothing to maintain. You get a fast, current site without the upkeep, and you can still download and own it.
WordPress powers a huge share of the web and is unmatched for flexibility, with 50,000+ plugins and full control, especially self-hosted (WordPress.org), which is open-source and yours to own. The cost is complexity: you manage hosting, themes, plugins, updates, and security yourself.
Looops removes that overhead. You describe your site in chat and an AI agent builds it, fully hosted, with a database, member logins, and forms built in, and you can still download the whole thing. No plugins to wire up, no servers to patch.

Click any element to edit it
Click the element selector (top of the chat), then click anything in the preview: a button, a paragraph, an image. The AI focuses on just that piece.
Show it a picture
Paste or drag any image into the chat: a sketch, a screenshot, an inspiration photo. Looops understands what it sees and builds toward it.
It remembers you
Tell Looops once: 'I prefer bold colors' or 'never use stock photos of handshakes'. It saves your preferences and applies them in every future conversation.
Errors fix themselves
If something ever breaks, a 'Fix the error' button appears. One click and Looops finds what broke and patches it.

When you're happy, hit Publish. Your site goes live on your own address in about a minute, with a custom domain on paid plans.
Where Looops is different
