Fair questions.
What do I get for free?
A complete website, written and designed by our AI for your business. Edit it by chat or by hand, then publish it on a free address or a domain you already own. You get 60 credits to start and 10 more every month. A small Built with Digital Potter badge sits in the footer.
What does the CMS plan add?
The CMS admin, where you manage your site’s content. It adds 100 credits a month, removes the badge and gives each site 5 GB of images. It costs $19.99 a month, or $199.90 a year. Orders, menus and bookings are add-ons on top, from $14.99 a month each.
Do I need a credit card?
No. You can sign up, build and publish without one. You only add a card to buy the CMS plan, extra credits or a domain.
Does my free site expire?
No. A published free site stays live with no trial clock. It keeps running until you unpublish or delete it.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, for free. Publish your site, then connect a domain you already own. You can also buy one in the dashboard. A bought domain is billed yearly at the price shown at checkout.
How do credits work?
AI work uses credits. Generating a site costs 20, a chat edit costs 1 per page it changes and matching a reference site costs 1. Manual edits are always free. The CMS plan adds 100 credits a month, plus 50 per add-on. Extra credits cost $5 for 100, and credits never expire.
What do add-ons cost, and why do they need the CMS?
Add-ons cost $14.99 to $29.99 a month each. Each one is a working system, like a store or a booking calendar. You run it from the CMS admin, so it needs the CMS plan. Each add-on also adds 50 credits a month.
Do you take a cut of my sales?
Never. Payments run through your own Stripe account at Stripe’s standard rates. We add nothing on top, and there are no per-page or traffic fees.
What happens if I cancel the CMS plan?
Your site stays live on the Free plan. The CMS admin and add-ons switch off at the end of your billing period. The badge comes back, and we keep your data. Your first CMS purchase also has a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Who builds this?
Digital Potter LLC, a web firm that builds custom sites for businesses. The builder runs on theDavid, the same CMS our client sites use. When you need help, a real person answers.
