THE SHORT ANSWER
For a new website or improvements to an existing one, start with free ChatGPT. Explain what you want the site to do and let it guide your next step.
Want to make a new website or improve an existing one? Ask ChatGPT first. You can start with the free version.
Tell it what you want the website to do. If you already have a site, share its URL and ask:
“Can you help me build or improve this website? What would I need, and would the free version be enough?”
You don’t need to understand all the technical details before asking. Explain what you need and let ChatGPT guide the next step.
Pay when you need more
If you need paid features, ChatGPT Plus currently costs US$20 per month and includes Codex. You can subscribe for a month, keep it while you need ongoing changes, cancel renewal when you no longer need it, or subscribe again later.
Usage limits apply, and a project is not guaranteed to finish in one month. Check domain and hosting costs, and whether the website will keep running after the subscription ends.
Before paying someone, find out what AI can help with, then decide which parts need professional help.
