AI that builds a website for you — one real page, built for $0.147935
Most tools that claim to build a website for you hand back a template you then fill in. The useful version hands back the finished page with your own words and your own prices already in it. The test is small and unglamorous: give it three rates and see whether all three come out to the penny, because a draft that rounds one of them so it sits better beside the others has quietly changed your business. Below is a real page, the file itself, and what it cost to produce.
How to do it
- Give it your real numbers, in your own words Rates, areas, hours. The specifics are what make the page yours rather than a template with your name at the top.
- Say what you do not want 'No stock-photo nonsense' did more work in this request than any positive instruction. Naming the house style you dislike is faster than describing the one you want.
- Check the numbers first, before the design Read every price on the finished page against what you asked for. This is where a generated page most often diverges, and it is the divergence that costs you money.
The exact request
I walk dogs in my neighbourhood and everything runs over text messages. Build me a single web page I can send people: what I do, the areas I cover, my rates — £15 for half an hour, £25 for an hour, £10 for each extra dog — and a way to get in touch. Keep it warm and plain, no stock-photo nonsense. One HTML file.
What came back
What it cost
| One-page site run | $0.147935 |
| Total | $0.147935 |
What it got wrong
- You get a file, not a live site. Putting it online — a domain, somewhere to host it — is still yours to arrange, and this run did not do it.
- It is one page. There is no content management behind it, so changing a rate later means editing the file or asking for it again.
- The page was produced from the description in the request. Nothing in it was checked against a real business's actual coverage area or availability.
