ChilledSites has no free tier. Browsing the template gallery is free; actually generating your website needs a paid plan, from £9/month for Pro or £8 for a one-off token pack. Describe your business in plain English and get a complete website in 60 seconds.
No free tier, and we don't pretend otherwise
Free AI Website Builder The Honest Version
Generate a complete multi-page website with AI in under 60 seconds, once you're on a paid plan. There's no free tier here: Pro starts at £9/month, PAYG token packs from £8.
What "Free" Actually Means with AI Website Builders
Not all free plans are equal. Here's what you actually get, and what's quietly hidden behind a paywall.
Free Trial Disguised as Free Plan
Many builders advertise "free" but limit you to 14 days or block publishing entirely. You build something beautiful, then hit a paywall before you can launch.
No Custom Domain on Free
Wix free gives you yourname.wixsite.com. Squarespace free gives you yourname.squarespace.com. That URL undermines credibility for any real business.
Ads on Your Site
Free Wix and Squarespace plans plaster their branding and adverts across your website. It looks unprofessional and erodes visitor trust immediately.
Core Features Locked
Forms, analytics, e-commerce, SEO tools, they're all paid add-ons. The "free" version is a demo, not a real product you can use for your business.
ChilledSites: No Free Tier, No Bait-and-Switch
We don't dress a paywall up as a free trial. There's no free generation here: Pro starts at £9/month and you know that before you start.
Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Extras
£9/month for Pro, everything included: AI build, free domain, hosting, analytics, forms. No hidden fees, no monthly surprises.

Why ChilledSites
Built for Real Results, Not a Free Tier Upsell
Every feature was designed to get your site live fast, not to nudge you towards a £30/month upgrade.
60-Second Generation
Describe your business in plain English. The AI writes the copy, designs the layout, and structures full multi-page navigation, all in under a minute.
AI Editor Included
Click any section and ask the AI to rewrite it. Change colours, update text, swap images, no design experience needed at any point.
Custom Domain Ready
Connect your own domain in minutes. We handle the DNS, SSL certificate, and hosting. Your site is always on yourname.com, not a branded subdomain.
Analytics Built In
See who's visiting your site, where they came from, and which pages perform best, without adding third-party scripts or paying extra.
Contact Forms That Work
Every site includes a working contact form. Submissions hit your inbox directly, no third-party form service, no extra monthly fee.
No Lock-in
Your site is standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You own it fully. Export it anytime, move it anywhere. No platform dependency.
No free tier. No free trial. Paid from the start.
See what £9/month gets you
Browse the template gallery for free, no account needed. When you're ready to build with AI, Pro is £9/month and bundles the build, a free domain, hosting, forms and analytics into one price.
Not one that includes real hosting. Most builders called "free" are either free trials or heavily crippled free tiers, ads on your site, no custom domain, locked features. ChilledSites has no free tier at all: browsing the template gallery is free, but generating your own site needs a paid plan, from £9/month for Pro.
Do I need a credit card to try ChilledSites?
Not to browse the template gallery. To actually generate and publish a site, you need a paid plan: Pro from £9/month or a PAYG token pack from £8. There's no free trial that lets you skip that.
How does £9/month compare to other website builders?
Wix charges around £10–16/month (£120–192/year) for a real business plan. Squarespace starts at £11/month (£132/year). Both lock features on free tiers and charge monthly. ChilledSites charges £9 once per month, with hosting, a free domain, analytics, forms and AI editing all bundled.
How long does AI website generation take?
Once you're on a paid plan, under 60 seconds for a full multi-page website. Just type a description of your business, what you do, who you serve, any key details, and the AI generates the entire site including home, about, services/products, and contact pages.
No hidden fees. No branding on your site.
Build Your Website for £9/Month
Generate a complete multi-page AI website in 60 seconds. Pro is £9/month, everything included: the build, a free domain, hosting, forms and analytics.
