Abstract
Recent advances in large language models have improved the capabilities of coding agents, yet systematic evaluation of complex, end-to-end website development remains limited. To address this gap, we introduce Vision2Web, a hierarchical benchmark for visual website development, spanning from static UI-to-code generation, interactive multi-page frontend reproduction, to long-horizon full-stack website development. The benchmark is constructed from real-world websites and comprises a total of 193 tasks across 16 categories, with 918 prototype images and 1,255 test cases. To support flexible, thorough and reliable evaluation, we propose workflow-based agent verification paradigm based on two complementary components: a GUI agent verifier and a VLM-based judge. We evaluate multiple visual language models instantiated under different coding-agent frameworks, revealing substantial performance gaps at all task levels, with state-of-the-art models still struggling on full-stack development.

WHY NOW
Web Development Agents moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 7.0/10. Production flags indicate code availability.
To address this gap, we introduce Vision2Web, a hierarchical benchmark for visual website development, spanning from static UI-to-code generation, interactive multi-page frontend reproduction, to long-horizon full-stack website development.
This is a core definition of the benchmark presented in the abstract and introduction.
partial
The benchmark is constructed from real-world websites and comprises a total of 193 tasks across 16 categories, with 918 prototype images and 1,255 test cases.
Specific quantitative details about the benchmark's composition are provided in the abstract and introduction.
partial
To support flexible, thorough and reliable evaluation, we propose workflow-based agent verification paradigm based on two complementary components: a GUI agent verifier and a VLM-based judge.
The abstract explicitly describes the verification paradigm and its components.
partial
We evaluate multiple visual language models instantiated under different coding-agent frameworks, revealing substantial performance gaps at all task levels, with state-of-the-art models still struggling on full-stack development.
The abstract and experimental results tables clearly indicate performance gaps and limitations of current models.
partial
At the node level, 218 of 250 nodes (87.2%) are correctly judged by the verifier relative to human annotations, indicating high fine-grained execution accuracy.
This claim is supported by specific validation metrics for the GUI Agent Verifier.
partial
When examined at the level of individual test-case categories, Navigation & Routing and Authentication & Authorization are the most reliable capabilities across models, with Claude-Opus-4.5 and GPT-5 achieving consistently high pass scores.
This is inferred from the performance tables and the text discussing specific functional categories.
partial
Finding 6:At the level of individual functional categories, agents exhibit systematic weaknesses in complex, state-dependent operations.
This is supported by the performance breakdown by functional categories in the results.
