Website build · done once, done right
From $489 one-time — and the site is yours. Domain, business email and the first year of hosting and maintenance are included; starter sites go live in 3–5 business days.
Structured data and clear content help AI search tools understand your business. We do not promise any platform's recommendations or ranking results.
A website is no longer just an “about us” page
For the last decade, customers found you through Google search. Over the next few years, they may first ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or a voice assistant: “Any good professional firms nearby?”, “What does this company do?”, “Are they open on weekends?” If your site lacks clear structure, structured data, FAQs, and clear service definitions, it's hard to show up in those AI conversations.
Content with no structure
Services, case studies, and FAQs are buried in images and JavaScript, so crawlers and AI struggle to understand what you actually do.
Missing structured data
Without Organization, Service, or FAQPage schema, AI search has no idea how to reference you.
Leads slip through
Form submissions go unattended — no alert, no archive — and the inquiries your site earns disappear into an inbox.
What a business website needs in the AI era
Six core capabilities so your site can be read by people and understood and referenced by AI systems.
Semantic page structure
A clear heading hierarchy, semantic tags, and well-defined sections so people and AI both understand the page.
Structured data
Organization / LocalBusiness / Service / FAQPage and other Schema.org markup — the foundation for AI readability.
Optimized for AI search
Service definitions, FAQs, and contact details organized the way AI can crawl and understand them.
High-performance pure code
Next.js SSR + CDN delivery, mobile LCP optimization, and a Lighthouse 90+ target on core pages.
Clear conversion paths
Service pages, FAQ, forms, and contact flows designed around inquiry conversion — not just display.
An extensible system
Keep adding AI phone answering, automation, CRM, booking, payments, and a customer portal.
Designed by people, paid for once, owned by you
We only build after you approve the design, and you review the finished site before launch — the balance is settled then. That's the biggest difference from a DIY builder: domain, business email, hosting and later upgrades are handled end to end by our team, so you're never left alone with a tool.
Three ways to build a website
Template builder platforms, plain AI generators, and Aflame AI's “AI generation + real human service” — the gap is in speed, editing experience, AI readability, and whether anyone's looking after you.
How long it takes
Template builders
Pick a template, learn an admin panel — weeks to start
Plain AI tools
Fast, but once it's generated nobody's looking after it

Starter sites live in 3–5 business days; you approve the design first
Editing content
Template builders
You have to learn the admin editor
Plain AI tools
Awkward to edit, hard to control the result

One-time build fee — the site and the domain are both yours
Your website isn't an island — it's the front door to an intelligent lead system
Your business website, form leads, AI phone answering, automation, and CRM form one complete flow. Leads come in from different entry points, land in one place, get organized and reminded automatically, and cut down on manual babysitting.
Business website
Structured content, service pages, FAQ, contact entry points
Forms / AI search
Inquiry leads from your site and from AI search
AI phone answering
24/7 AI answering, intent detection, handoff to a human
Automation
Notify, assign, organize, remind
CRM / Inbox
Customer records archived, follow-up handled
The website captures inquiries → leads enter one unified channel → AI phone answers as backup → automation assigns and reminds → customer records archived to CRM / Inbox.
Built once — the site is yours
The build fee is paid once and the site is yours. All three tiers include your domain, business email and first-year hosting and maintenance: Starter gets your business online, Grow lets the site take payments and bookings, and Automation lets the site run the workflow for you.

All three tiers are a one-time build fee: 50% deposit to start, balance before launch, including domain, business email and the first year of hosting and maintenance. With Pro and Premium, we auto-fill subpages from your business after purchase, ready in minutes, and you keep editing page by page in the dashboard.
Do I have to keep paying from year two?
No. Once delivered, the site is yours — keep using it without renewing, and we'll help you migrate out once, free.
If you'd like us to keep handling hosting, updates and technical upkeep, pick a level based on what you actually need that year — it isn't tied to the build tier you bought:
- From $149/yr: basic hosting, SSL, backups, occasional text / image updates
- From $199/yr: heavier updates across more pages, images and copy
- From $299/yr: keeping booking, payments, automation and AI chat running with ongoing technical upkeep
For example, if you bought Automation in year one but no longer need those workflows in year two, plain hosting from $149/yr is all you pay.
Need member logins, multi-role dashboards or a large catalog?
Turn your website into a system that runs your business
Special development beyond Automation ($1,399) is built one on one to your business processes, data logic and delivery scope, and quoted per project — upgrading the website from a “display page” into a “business system.”

Delivery timeline & quality assurance
Delivery follows a clear rhythm: 50% deposit to start, we produce the design, you approve it, we build; you review the finished site before launch and settle the balance then.
Quality assurance
First, check whether your domain is available
A branded domain is the first step of your digital front door. A clear, memorable domain is also friendlier to AI citations and search visibility.

Common questions
How much does a website cost?+
The build fee is paid once and the site is yours. Starter is $489 and already includes your domain, business email, logo and brand colors, plus the first year of hosting and maintenance. Need online payments, booking, or product / menu ordering? Grow is $909. Want AI chat and automated workflows? Automation is $1,399. Three tiers, nothing unbundled. Large catalog ecommerce, ongoing Google keyword campaigns and special feature development are quoted separately.
How long does it take, and what is the process?+
A starter site usually goes live in 3–5 business days; bilingual sites or projects with booking and payments take roughly 5–15 business days. The flow is: 50% deposit to start, we produce the design, you approve it, we build; you review the finished site before launch and settle the balance then.
I'm not technical — how do I edit content after launch?+
Just message us what to change; you never touch anything technical. Small changes are free for 30 days after launch on Starter and 60 days on Grow and Automation. After that, if you keep annual maintenance (from $149/yr), routine content edits stay included.
Do I have to own a domain? What if I don't?+
You don't buy it yourself. All three tiers already include your first-year domain and business email — we register them for you. Already have a domain? We use it, no double charge. The domain is yours and free to transfer out anytime.
Is there a second-year fee? What if I don't renew?+
The first year of hosting, security, backups and routine content edits is already inside the build fee. From year two, maintenance is entirely optional and isn't tied to the tier you bought — you choose by what you actually need that year: basic hosting from $149/yr, heavier content updates from $199/yr, or from $299/yr to keep booking, payments, automation and AI chat running. If you'd rather not renew, the site is yours and we move it to your own server once, free.
How do I choose among the three tiers (Starter / Grow / Automation)?+
It's a ladder. No proper website yet and you need to be findable on Google — Starter ($489, up to 5 pages). Taking money, bookings or orders online — Grow ($909, up to 8 pages, with Stripe payments, booking, ordering and Google Business Profile optimization). Heavy inquiry volume and you want the workflow to run itself — Automation ($1,399, up to 20 pages, with AI chat, automatic confirmations and reminders, and Google review invites). Starting with Starter and upgrading later works perfectly fine.
Are the sites friendly to Google and AI search?+
We output pages to semantic HTML and Schema.org structured-data standards, so Google search and AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini can more easily crawl and understand your business information. Every tier includes foundational SEO; Grow and above also include Google Business Profile and Maps optimization.
Can Aflame AI guarantee ChatGPT or Google will recommend my company?+
No. Any provider claiming “guaranteed AI recommendations” or “guaranteed search rankings” is being irresponsible. What we can do: through clear service definitions, structured data, FAQs, crawlable page content, and baseline technical SEO, improve the chances your business is crawled, understood, referenced, and shown as a trustworthy source. Whether you're cited is ultimately decided by each platform's algorithm.
I already have a website — can I just redesign it, or add only AI services?+
Both work. On a redesign you keep your domain and existing content, and we rebuild on top of it. AI phone answering and automation can also be deployed independently, without rebuilding the website.
What about member portals, complex dashboards or large catalogs?+
Special development beyond Automation — member logins, multi-role dashboards, approval flows, large catalog ecommerce, third-party system integrations — falls under custom development, built one on one to your business and quoted per project. See the custom development page, or call (323) 880-3888 / WeChat AflameAI to discuss.
