How to Build Your Business Website in One Day
This isn't a weekend project. This isn't a "someday" task. This is a "done by dinner" plan. Follow these steps and you'll have a live, professional website before you go to bed tonight.
Time Required
Total: 2-4 hours (can be done in one sitting or spread across the day). With AI builders, most of that is customisation - the initial generation takes minutes.

Optional (Nice to Have)

Don't have photos? No problem - AI builders provide professional stock images. You can always add your own photos later.
