AI website redesign
Your site, redesigned with AI.
Handled by a human.
You know AI can build a website. You'd rather not wrestle with prompts, hosting, domains and fixes. I use Claude to build it fast, then handle everything around it: SEO, AI-search setup, hosting and the changes you need each month.

What is an AI website redesign?
An AI website redesign uses AI tools to build a new version of your site faster and for less than a traditional build. The catch is that AI is great at the draft and weak at everything around it: getting the details right, keeping your Google rankings, launch, forms and security.
That's the gap I fill. Claude writes the code. I direct the work, review every page, and run the parts that decide whether a site actually brings in customers. You get the speed of AI with an experienced developer accountable for the result, and a site you own outright.
A good fit if…
- You know AI can build a website, but you don't want to deal with prompts, hosting, domains and fixes yourself.
- Your current site is dated, slow or hard to find in Google, and you want a clean, fast redesign.
- You want an experienced developer accountable for the result, not a template or a support ticket.
- You want to own your site outright, not rent it from a platform.
Not the right fit for…
- Online stores, booking systems, member logins or custom software. Those are custom projects, priced separately.
- Sites that need daily updates by a team. An editor (CMS) setup fits better there.
- A single page or a few quick edits. A template or an AI builder will serve you well; the do-it-yourself guide shows how.
How much does it cost?
Two setup prices, sized to the work, then one simple monthly plan: $99 for hosting, forms and up to 1 hour of changes. 12-month minimum, then month to month.

How it compares
Typical prices for a small business site, from pricing guides and vendor pages I reviewed in October 2026. Every option has its place.
| Option | Typical cost | What you handle | You own it? |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY website builders (Wix, Squarespace) | $17–50/month | Everything: design, content, SEO, fixes | No, it lives on their platform |
| DIY AI builders (Lovable, Replit) | ~$25/month plus your time | Prompting, hosting, domain, SEO, fixes | Yes, if you export it |
| Pay-monthly website shops | $99–150/month, often 12-month minimum | Content and approvals | Often not; check before you sign |
| Managed "AI website" services | $200–1,000/month, sometimes plus setup | Content and approvals | Usually not |
| Freelancers and AI-builder experts | $5,000–15,000 per project | Content, approvals, finding someone for upkeep | Yes |
| Agencies | $10,000–50,000+ | Meetings, content, approvals | Yes |
| This redesign | $2,500–$3,500, then $99/month | Your content and feedback on a live preview | Yes: site, code and domain |

Questions, answered
What is an AI website redesign?
It means using AI tools like Claude to build a new version of your website faster and for less than a traditional build. Here, AI writes the code and drafts copy, and an experienced developer directs the work, reviews every page, and handles SEO, hosting and upkeep.
How much does an AI website redesign cost?
Essential is $2,500 (up to 5 pages) and Plus is $3,500 (up to 10 pages), one time. Then $99 a month covers hosting, forms with email notifications and up to 1 hour of changes, with a 12-month minimum.
How long does it take?
Most redesigns launch in 3–6 weeks: Essential in 3–5 weeks, Plus in 4–6 weeks. The pace usually depends on how quickly content and feedback come in, not on the build.
What does the $99 a month include?
Hosting on Netlify, with HTTPS, Contact forms that email you every submission, Up to 1 hour of changes a month (no rollover), A monthly check that your site and forms work, Replies within one business day. It has a 12-month minimum, then continues month to month. Your only other running cost is your domain, about $10–20 a year.
What if I need more than an hour of changes?
Bigger changes are quoted first at $150/hour, or as a monthly retainer if you need regular work. You'll never be billed for extra time by surprise.
What happens after the first 12 months?
The plan continues month to month, and you can cancel any time. If you leave, you keep your site, code and domain, and I help move it to your own hosting.
Do I own my website?
Yes. The design, content, code and domain are yours. I host it for you while you're on the plan, and if you ever leave, I help move it to your own hosting.
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Not if the redesign is done carefully. Every old URL that matters is redirected to its new page, and the SEO basics are rebuilt properly. Rankings often improve because the new site is faster and clearer.
Can you redesign my WordPress, Wix or Squarespace site?
Yes. I move your content to a fast new site, redirect your old URLs and host it for you. You no longer need the old platform subscription.
How do I make changes after launch?
Email me. Up to 1 hour of changes a month is included in your plan, and bigger work is quoted first.
Why not just use Lovable or Replit myself?
You can, and the do-it-yourself guide shows how. They're great at drafts. The work people get stuck on is everything around the draft: domains, hosting, forms that actually send, redirects, SEO and AI-search setup. That part is what you're paying for here.
