Learn MoreHosting & Care
Hosting from the people who made the site. Updates, backups, monitoring, and a person who writes back.
Learn MoreThe Honest Question
You Could Build It Yourself.
You really could. The AI builders are good now, and we use the same AI every day. The difference is everything that comes after the first draft.
| Question | An AI site builder | HitchHiker |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the site | The company you built it with. Leave, and the site stays behind. | You. The website, the content, the domain name. Host it wherever you like. |
| Monthly fees | Forever, per site, per seat, per add-on. | None for the site. Hosting and care are optional, and if you cancel, the site stays yours. |
| Changing it later | Another prompt, and a check that nothing else moved. | Your team opens the page and changes it. No developer, no waiting. |
| Shop, search, bookings | Whatever the builder got around to adding. | A full online shop, search tools, bookings, and twenty years of WordPress add-ons. |
| Who decides what goes where | You, by trial and error. | A designer who has made that call a few hundred times. |
| When something breaks | A help article and a chatbot. | A real person on our team, within 24 hours. |
| Speed | Whatever the builder gives you. | Tuned by hand, aiming for top marks on Google's speed test for every site. |
| What the AI is for | Generating the whole thing. | Making us faster at the parts you don't see, so more of your budget goes to the parts you do. |
