Lovable and Bolt build apps. We build small business websites that bring in work.

If you need a marketing site, a few pages and a contact form that looks great, you do not need an app builder. You need a site that is live today, gets found, and turns visitors into enquiries.

Is ChilledSites a good alternative to Lovable or Bolt for a small business website?

Yes, for brochure and marketing sites. ChilledSites costs £9 a month with hosting and a free domain, and builds in contact forms, an enquiries inbox, automatic replies and search and AI visibility tools. Choose Lovable or Bolt if you need logins, a database or checkout.

On par where it is subjective

All three tools use the same kind of frontier AI to design and write the page. Whether one looks better than another is taste, so we do not claim ours do. We show you what happens after launch instead.

Common questions

Do ChilledSites sites look as good as Lovable or Bolt sites?
Design is a matter of taste. All three tools use the same kind of frontier AI to design and write your pages, so we do not claim ours look better. Build one and judge for yourself. What we add is everything after launch: getting found, and handling enquiries.
Is it cheaper?
For a small business website, yes. ChilledSites Pro is £9 a month and includes the AI build, hosting and a free domain. Pro+ is £18 a month. Lovable Pro and Bolt Pro are both $25 a month. Prices checked 29 September 2026.
Can I move from Lovable or Bolt?
Yes. Give us your site's URL, or paste your text, and we rebuild it fresh with your words. You then edit it by asking or clicking, with no code to look after.
Can I take payments?
You can add payment links, such as Stripe or PayPal buttons. ChilledSites does not build a shopping cart or checkout. If you need one, Lovable or Bolt is the better fit.
Do I get the code?
No. You get a hosted site that you edit by asking or clicking. If you want the source code to hand to a developer, choose Lovable or Bolt.
