Why You Should Spend $500 on an AI Website instead of a Free AI Website

Is a Free AI Website Really Free?

I get it. A free AI website sounds very appealing. After all, AI is all the rage these days, right? But before you decide to build your company’s online presence on a free AI website platform like GoDaddy Airo, it is important to understand the real cost: your growth.

When you rely on these free or ultra-low-cost AI site builders, you are locking your business into a rigid framework that may look nice today but will not scale with you tomorrow.


The Downsides of a Free AI Website

1. Limited in Scope
Free AI websites are usually built on stripped-down versions of proprietary platforms. Want the latest booking integration? A secure, modern payment system? More advanced features for marketing, analytics, or SEO? These “free” sites often do not allow it without expensive upgrades, and even then you are still stuck in their walled garden.

2. Generic Design and Content
Sure, AI can spin up a nice-looking template, but your brand needs more than a generic color palette and stocky content. Cookie-cutter sites will not help you stand out in a competitive market.

3. Ongoing Maintenance Headaches
Free platforms might not break your bank upfront, but they can break your momentum later. Updates, bug fixes, and integrations often fall on you, and if you are not a web developer, that becomes a problem.


What You Get With Everyday Web’s Essentials AI Lite Plan

A WordPress Site That Grows With You
Instead of locking you into a proprietary platform, we build your site on WordPress, the most flexible and widely used website platform in the world. Your site can evolve with your business, whether that means adding eCommerce, booking tools, advanced SEO, or custom integrations.

Done-For-You Everything
You do not just get a site. You get a team. We handle:

  • Professional copywriting that sells
  • Custom-selected images
  • Built-in SEO best practices
  • A user experience designed to convert visitors into customers

Ongoing Support That is Actually Support
We are not here to hand you a site and disappear. With our Essentials AI Lite Plan, you get ongoing support for one low monthly subscription starting at $100 per month. That means you can focus on running your business while we handle updates, fixes, and improvements.


Built for Real Small Business Needs
Small businesses need more than a flashy homepage. You need a site that works as hard as you do. That means fast load times, mobile optimization, SEO baked in from the start, and the ability to integrate with the tools you already use. Our AI Lite Plan delivers all of that on a platform you fully own and control. You are not just getting a website, you are getting a foundation that supports real business growth year after year.

A Smarter Investment Over Time
When you factor in the hidden costs of free platforms, the Essentials AI Lite Plan becomes a clear winner. Every time you need a feature upgrade, add a page, or troubleshoot a problem on a free platform, you are spending time or money to fix it yourself. With Everyday Web, your low monthly fee covers the technical work, updates, and support so you can keep growing without surprise expenses. Over the long term, that consistency saves you both money and stress.

Bottom Line:
As a small business owner every dollar counts, so we made sure to make all of our plans accessible. And now we’re taking it a step further. If you want a site that looks nice today but leaves you stuck tomorrow, go with a free AI website. If you want a future-proof online presence backed by a team that understands small business growth, Everyday Web’s Essentials AI Lite Plan is the smart choice.
