Let’s talk about free website builders with AI because currently there is so much out there, that on its own it is mind boggling, some being free, others let you think it is a free website, but then when it comes to launching it and making it live on the web the hook is in and you now need to pay stupid amounts for hosting.
As your mother might have told you many years ago, nothing is FREE in life, when they offer you a free build it is costing them money, so they must be getting something in return, whether it be your data, or forcing you to sign up for a hosting platform or something else, there is no such thing as a truly free website builds.
How Does AI Work?
Then let’s talk about the way AI works, it reads from a database of saved info and plagiarises it, this means that it basically copies it. So, you think that you have just built an awesome website in using only AI, it looks amazing to you, but …. It looks like every other AI generated website out there, same layout, same button positioning, same everything, just different words and pictures.
Now as a visitor that lands on your website, we are slowly learning to identify visually what is real and what is AI generated, it is just becoming more and more obvious, and the problem now is that your visitor or potential customer does not know if your business is real or is a scam or a fake, because it was quite literally built in 30 minutes using a single prompt and it shows in one way or another.
What does Google See?
Then let us look at what google sees, because AI is like having a 2-year-old office admin assistant, it will literally do what you tell it, it does not think unless you ask it to, it does! Is your new AI website properly configured to be found by search engines, is it mobile responsive … the list goes on and on, these are thing that an actual website designer knows how to do and should do it well by default.
If Free really good enough?
So how is that 30 min effort going to give your business any credibility? There is a reason a website designer takes 3 weeks to build a site and charges accordingly, because it is authentic and it is done correctly!
