Where AI does the work, and where people step in

AI makes the work fast and affordable. A named person stays accountable for every decision and every page.

What AI does

AI produces the first draft of page layouts, headings and copy from your intake form, and checks every page against a technical SEO list.

What people do

A person reviews the facts, the offer, the tone and the final build before you see a preview link.

Browse every FAQ by service and industry

How do I design a website for my small business?

Start with your services, service areas and the action you want visitors to take, such as calling or requesting a quote. Plan one page per service, write clear headlines, add photos, contact forms and reviews, and make sure it loads fast on a phone. Or send us that information and we build it in 48 hours.

How do I make a professional website for my small business?

A professional small business site needs a custom domain, a clear headline that says what you do and where, a page per service, real photos, visible contact details and fast mobile loading. Avoid stock templates that look like every competitor. Our builds cover all of this and are reviewed by a person before launch.

What is the best way to make a website for a small business?

It depends on your time. A DIY builder costs the least but you design, write and maintain it. A freelancer or agency does the work but usually costs more and takes weeks. A fixed-price service like ours sits in between: done for you, flat priced and live in 48 hours.

Can AI build me a website for my business?

Yes. AI can draft page copy, layouts and code in minutes. The risk is accuracy and fit: AI can invent details or write generic copy. That is why a person at Guerrilla Local checks every page against your intake form before you see a preview.

Can ChatGPT design a website?

ChatGPT can write copy and generate code for a simple page, but it does not host, test or launch a finished business website, and it cannot check facts about your business. We use AI models for drafting and keep a person responsible for the final, live site.

Would an AI-built website outperform one made by a designer?

Not on its own. An unchecked AI site tends to be generic and can contain errors. The best results combine both: AI for speed and first drafts, a person for accuracy, tone and design judgment. That combination is how we deliver in 48 hours without the generic look.

Is web design still in demand in 2026?

Yes. AI assistants and Google still send customers to business websites, and AI answers often cite them as sources. A fast, accurate website with clear service pages is what those systems read, so it matters more for local businesses, not less.

What is the 3 second rule in website design?

It is the idea that visitors decide within about three seconds whether a page is worth their time. In practice: a clear headline that says what you do and where, a visible call or quote button, and a page that loads fast on a phone. Our layouts are built around that first screen.

Is Squarespace or Wix better for small business?

Both are capable DIY builders. Wix offers more layout freedom and apps, while Squarespace has more polished templates and a simpler editor. Either way you build, write and maintain the site yourself. A done-for-you site is the alternative when your time is worth more than the savings.

Is the website built on WordPress?

No. We build with Astro, which outputs fast static pages that are hard to hack and need no plugin updates. You request edits through a care plan, and a full code handoff to your own developer or host is available for a one-time fee.

What is responsive web design?

Responsive web design means the layout adapts to any screen, from a phone to a desktop monitor, without a separate mobile site. Most local searches happen on phones, so we design mobile-first and test every page at phone, tablet and desktop widths.

How can I build a website for my law firm?

A law firm site needs a page for each practice area, attorney bios with credentials, clear consultation calls to action, intake forms and trust signals such as bar memberships. It must also follow your state bar advertising rules. We build all of this and leave final compliance review to you.

How much does it cost to have a website built for a small business?

Most small business websites cost between $500 and $10,000. DIY builders cost less upfront but take your time, freelancers usually charge $1,000 to $5,000, and agencies often charge more. Guerrilla Local builds 10 pages for $500, 15 pages for $750 and 20 pages for $1,000, with SEO and schema included.

How much does a law firm website cost in 2026?

Law firm websites range widely, from a few thousand dollars with a freelancer to $10,000 or more with a legal marketing agency. Our flat packages run $500 to $1,000 depending on page count, with practice area pages, attorney bios and LegalService schema included.

How much does a small business website cost?

Our packages are flat: $500 for 10 pages, $750 for 15 pages and $1,000 for 20 pages. Custom features are priced before we start.

Is the site built on WordPress?

No. We build with Astro, which outputs fast static pages. You can still request edits through a care plan.

Can I edit the site myself?

Content edits run through our care plans so the site stays fast and secure. Code handoff is available for a one-time fee.
