In 1992, when the World Wide Web was just created - there were only 10 websites on the planet. The number grew within the years and by the time of writing this article there are more than 1.3B active websites with 6% annual growth*.

The statistics present the recent 10 years annual growth for the website creation industry of the US market:A traditional website creation process is the following: first, you need to find a web designer for your website mockup, then to hire a developer for coding the given design - the process can last up to months, so it is time-consuming, and you will need to invest up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a rule, the final result and the quality of the website - make owners really suffer! Fronty AI technology suggests a 100x faster and 100x cheaper way of creating websites. Btw, Google loves provided speed and quality :)
Currently, existing online website builders have very limited functionality and a small count of templates to start with.
Only AI-powered services can provide high-class quality and re-usable codes. Of course, no AI is perfect yet, but the world is going in that direction for sure!
Existing AI solutions are either at the research level or converting just a wireframe instead of full-ready designs (e.g. Microsoft Sketch2code).
Fronty AI technology is meant to change the world to a totally new way of website creation. In the relative market, some say this modern technology is years ahead of all existing solutions in the world.
Functionality:
The process of implementing a client-side software is based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) generating codes from a mockup. Our AI detects the different types of sections on the image (e.g. navbar, header, footer). Besides section is detects almost all kinds of elements and their styles (e.g texts, images). Based on that data creates the main layout of the webpage and generates HTML/CSS code.
Some additional steps make the result code to match the best-practices. Website speed is optimized for Google PageSpeed Testing Tool. Generates CSS code is a Customized Bootstrap theme aiming to make developers’ life easier when editing it in the future.
The Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks and Deep Learning take a screenshot as an input and
generate HTML CSS
as an output. Most of the AI technologies we’ve implemented and trained are pending to patent, that’s why we can’t dive deep into the details.
The main AI which is equipped with a CNN special neural network - can detect both objects and objects’ styles on the JPG or PNG image. This allows us not to be limited only with Photoshop or Sketch or any design tools and applications. Any JPG/PNG file is accepted - even users can take screenshots of existing websites. Through deep learning methods we leveraged to train an AI with up to 90-92% of accuracy.
Fronty AI generates code based on Bootstrap, considered the most popular and common UI Framework based onHTML / CSS and JS. From now on, after the image is converted into codes, you can download and modify them manually without hassle.
