If you don't use an A.I. tool you'll be charged thousands to build out a website you're proud of…
— Nick Krem, CEO and Co-Founder of the Krem Institute of A.I.
A website has three costs, and the quote only shows one. The other two are build time and upkeep, and both sneak up on you.
Time gets forgotten first. One of our agents learned this when a $750 quote also meant a full month of an assistant's time.
Upkeep never stops. Even a site you love goes out of date as community events change.
A.I. helps, but there's a catch. An A.I. builder can lower the price, but someone still has to run it and update it.
Bonus Tip
Before you say yes to a website quote, ask these three questions.
1. How long until it's live? Time is part of the cost.
2. Who maintains it after launch? Ask what that costs.
3. Can it keep itself current? For example, by adding local events on its own.
What happened when our agent tried Halo:
Price. Getting started with Halo costs a fraction of that $750 quote.
Time. Built over a weekend, all by texting, so the assistant got that month back.
Upkeep. Halo scans certain sites every week and adds the latest community events on its own.
So the next time a quote lands in your inbox, remember it's only the first of three numbers. Wondering how a weekend of texting became a finished site? Come watch it happen.
