THE DECISION
Sometimes yes and it depends on one thing
It depends on whether the website is a description of your business or part of how it earns. For a placeholder, a generator is a perfectly sensible answer. For the thing that takes bookings and money, it is the wrong tool.
THE DETAIL
What is true and what is quietly not
Fine: a placeholder
Something at your address while you work out the real thing. Fast and cheap is exactly right.
Fine: testing an idea
Before a business exists, a generated page is a good way to find out whether anyone cares.
Fine: a personal page
A profile, a portfolio, a page about you. No transactions, no risk.
Wrong: you take money
The moment a stranger types card details, someone competent needs to have set that up and tested it.
Wrong: you take bookings
Real availability, deposits and reminders are business rules. Generated approximations cost you appointments.
Wrong: you need to be found
Generic copy competes with thousands of identical pages. Being specific is the whole job.
HOW WE DO IT
Three steps, no cost to find out
1
Tell us about the business
What you sell, who buys it, how the money actually arrives.
2
A designer builds it
A person lays out the site and wires the store, bookings and chat behind it.
3
You decide
See the finished site working before you commit to anything.
QUESTIONS
Before you ask
Should I use AI to build my business website?01
If the site simply describes the business, a generator is a reasonable shortcut. If it takes payments, takes bookings, or has to be found in search, it is the wrong tool for the part that matters.
Is a generated site better than no site?02
What is the alternative if I cannot afford a designer?03
What does it cost?04
Why would this be free?05
Have a person build it instead, for nothing
