How to choose
Most small businesses need the same few things from a website: what you do, prices, opening hours, a way to book or get in touch, and a page that loads fast on a phone. The real question is how much of the work you want to do yourself.
- You want to design it yourself: Wix, Squarespace or Framer give you an editor or a canvas; Webflow is the professional designer's tool.
- One simple page on your own domain, as cheaply as possible: Carrd ($19 a year), or Google Sites if you own the domain already.
- Domain, hosting and email from one company: Hostinger or GoDaddy.
- A shop is the whole business: Big Cartel.
- You're building an app, not a website: Lovable writes the code for you.
- You need WordPress plugins or a big shop: 10Web.
- You want a back office with a CRM and invoices: Durable, or B12's client engagement plan.
- You'll prepay three years for an AI builder that also works from Claude: Zarla.
- You want the site finished for you, live for free first, and changed by asking, or built from your own Claude or ChatGPT: that's what Ginta is for.
We make Ginta, so read these with that in mind. If a fact is out of date, tell us at support@ginta.app and we'll fix it. Also compared: the longer Ginta vs Lovable vs Wix.

What is the cheapest way to get a small business website on my own domain?
Google Sites connects a domain you already own for free, and Carrd's Pro Standard is $19 a year. Among the full builders, your own domain starts at €5 a month on Ginta (Hosting, billed monthly), $2.49 a month on Hostinger if you pay 48 months up front ($10.99 after), $10 a month billed yearly on Framer Basic or 10Web AI Starter, and from $17 a month billed yearly on Wix Light (US). Prices change and differ by country: each comparison links to the competitor's pricing page.
Which website builders have a free plan that publishes?
Ginta, Wix, Google Sites, Carrd (3 one-page sites), Webflow (2 static pages), Big Cartel (5 products), Framer (for non-commercial use), B12 (a basic site on b12sites.com) and Lovable publish on a free plan, most with a badge or branding. GoDaddy lets you build and preview free and lists publishing from its Starter plan; Squarespace and Hostinger have trials or a money-back guarantee, Durable a private preview, Zarla builds but publishes only on a paid plan, and 10Web has a trial.
Which website builders work from Claude or ChatGPT?
Ginta, Wix, Zarla and Lovable can build from Claude and ChatGPT (through MCP servers, connectors or apps); Zarla's free plan doesn't publish. Webflow's MCP server edits an existing Webflow site, and Framer works from coding assistants such as Claude Code and Cursor. Squarespace's ChatGPT assistant drafts a layout that you finish in its editor; the Gemini app can export an app it made to Google Sites.
