Honest answers to the questions people actually ask before they build their site.
Getting Started
How does the $1 pricing actually work?
Your first website costs $1. That's it — not a trial, not a teaser. You chat with our AI, it builds your site, you see the live URL, and then you pay $1. We show you the result before you pay. Ongoing hosting and revisions have optional upgrade plans, but the base $1 site is yours to keep.
Do I need any technical skills?
None whatsoever. You need to be able to describe your business in plain English — that's it. No design skills, no code, no hosting knowledge. If you can send a text message, you can get a professional website.
How long does it really take?
Our average build time is under 10 minutes from first message to live URL. Complex sites with many pages take a bit longer. Simple sites (single page, one service) can be done in 5 minutes. You watch it happen in real-time in the chat — you'll see the progress as it builds and deploys.
What kind of businesses can use this?
Any business that needs a web presence — trades (plumbing, electrical, landscaping), restaurants and food businesses, consultants and coaches, freelancers, local services, retail, agencies, startups, and more. We've built sites for hundreds of business types. If you can describe it, we can build it.
Your Website
Is it actually custom, or is it a template?
100% custom — no templates. The AI designs your site specifically for your business, industry, and goals. It picks the colors, typography, layout, sections, and copy based on what you tell it. Two businesses using Web Gen AI will get completely different sites. We don't start from templates and fill in blanks.
Can I make changes after the site is live?
Yes — that's what the dashboard is for. Log in, describe what you want changed in plain English ("update my phone number," "add a testimonials section," "change the hero photo to something warmer"), and the AI implements it. Updates typically deploy in minutes.
Where is my site hosted? Is it fast?
Your site is deployed on enterprise-grade global CDN infrastructure — the same kind used by Fortune 500 companies. It's fast everywhere in the world, handles traffic spikes, and has 99.9%+ uptime. You don't manage any of this — it just works.
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. Your site comes with a free subdomain (yoursite.pages.dev) immediately. You can connect your own custom domain (like yourbusiness.com) from your dashboard. We provide instructions and the AI can walk you through it if needed.
What about photos? I don't have professional photos.
Not a problem. Our AI generates custom imagery for your site — photos, illustrations, and graphics matched to your industry and brand aesthetic. They're not stock photos with watermarks; they're generated specifically for you. If you have real photos you want to use, you can upload them too.
For Agencies & Freelancers
Can I use this to build sites for my clients?
Absolutely. Many agencies and freelancers use Web Gen AI to deliver sites faster and at lower cost. You can use it to create rapid prototypes for client presentations, or build and deliver the final site directly. Contact us about agency volume pricing.
