Your developers build the product. Not the website.

Every pricing tweak and launch page lands in the same backlog as your roadmap. With an AI-managed site, those tickets never get written.

Questions startups ask us.

Ask us anything else. A real person replies.

Can it grow with us?
Yes. It's a real, fast website, not a locked builder. Add pages, sections and languages as you grow.
Can our whole team edit it?
Yes. Anyone you give access to can ask their AI assistant for changes. Every change is saved as a version, so you can see who changed what and undo it.
Will it slow down our developers?
No. The website lives apart from your product code. Marketing, sales and founders make website changes without opening a ticket.
Does it work with our tools?
Yes. We can connect your analytics, forms, newsletter and CRM tools.
How much does a startup website cost?
We charge $25 an hour. A typical startup site takes about 97 to 124 hours, so $2,425 to $3,100. Try the calculator for your own estimate.
Do we own the code?
Yes. The code, the content and the domain are all yours. No lock-in, no platform fees from us.

Not a startup?

We build AI-managed websites for these too.
