Prices checked October 10, 2026

What every Cheap Cheap website includes

Built for you, words included

We design the site and draft the copy from your consultation. Websites from $399 one-time.

A real person, start to finish

You work with someone who learns your business, in English or Spanish.

10 revision rounds

Changes are part of the plan. What counts as a revision is agreed up front.

Weekly checks and A/B testing

Website Care, $30/month: hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly performance checks, A/B testing and small edits.

AI website builders are fast. You answer a few questions and a draft appears with headings, sections and stock images. For a quick test of an idea, that speed is genuinely useful. The questions that matter come after the draft: is it accurate, who keeps it up, and who is responsible for it.

What AI builders do well

They remove the blank page. You get a layout, a first pass of wording and a structure you can react to. If you are exploring an idea, or need a placeholder while you decide, a generated draft costs little and takes little time.

They can also help you see what you like and dislike, which is useful input for any designer you hire later.

What still needs a human check

  • ✓Facts about your business — services, areas and hours must be accurate
  • ✓Claims and wording — generic text can say things you cannot back up
  • ✓Photos — stock images are not your work
  • ✓Forms and email — someone must test that messages arrive

Where a person helps

A person asks what you actually do, who calls you and what they need to see before they trust you. We write the copy for you, design for mobile, test the contact form and set up essential search basics. Everything is yours to approve, with ten revision rounds included.

Website Care at $30/month adds managed hosting, HTTPS, backups, uptime checks and small edits, so the site does not sit untouched.

Questions to ask any option

  • ✓Who owns the domain — it should be you
  • ✓Where does it live — hosting and backups matter
  • ✓Who fixes mistakes — and how quickly you can reach them
  • ✓What does it cost over a year — build, hosting and tools

What to expect, honestly

  • ✓AI drafts are a fine starting point — use one if you like
  • ✓We write and design with people — not an auto-generated page
  • ✓We cannot promise search results — no one honestly can

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring an AI-generated draft to you?

Yes. Send it with what you like about it, and we use it as direction while writing the final copy and design.

Is an AI builder cheaper?

In cash for a first draft, often yes. You then pay with your own time, upkeep and the effort of checking everything.

Will you use AI to write my site?

We write copy for you and you approve every line. We do not publish anything that you have not reviewed.

How fast can my website be live?

Launch can happen in as little as 48 hours for eligible projects. Larger sites take longer, and your timeline is agreed in the consultation.

What does Website Care include?

Website Care is $30/month: managed hosting, HTTPS, backups, uptime checks, weekly performance checks, A/B testing and up to 30 minutes of small edits each month.

Are SEO and Business Spotlight included in the website price?

No. They are optional add-ons that are billed separately each month. The website price covers the website; Website Care at $30/month keeps it hosted and maintained; Monthly SEO and Business Spotlight are separate products you can add if you want them.

Can you build it in Spanish?

Yes. Se habla español. We can build in English, Spanish or both.
