How to make a website for free with AI (and what is really free)

"Free website" is one of the most searched phrases around website builders. And it is true: today you can create and publish a website without paying anything. But almost every free plan has a catch somewhere. Sometimes it is the address, sometimes advertising on your page, sometimes a limit that only appears when customers start writing to you.

This article explains what you can realistically get for free with AI, what usually costs money and how to decide when a free website is enough for your business.

What "free" usually means with website builders

Most website builders, AI-based or not, use the same model: you can build and often publish for free, and you pay for the things a business needs long-term. Typical limits of free plans are:

• An address on the provider's domain, such as yourname.builder.com or builder.com/yourname. Your own domain (yourbusiness.com) is usually only available on a paid plan.
• The provider's branding on your website, from a small note in the footer to a visible banner.
• Limited features: fewer pages, limited storage, a restricted contact form, no online payments.
• Rules for inactive websites: some providers archive or delete free websites that nobody visits.

None of this is a trick. A free plan is a way to try the tool. It is good to know the limits in advance, so you do not build your whole presentation on a plan that will not suit you.

What AI can do for free and what costs money

AI changes how quickly you get a first version. Instead of choosing a template and writing every section yourself, you describe what you do and get a draft with structure, copy and design.

The AI work itself costs the provider money (every generation uses computing power), so AI builders typically limit it in one of two ways:

1. A limited number of free generations or edits, after which you pay.
2. Credits that you receive for free at the start and then buy or get as part of a plan.

Manual edits, such as changing a phone number or a price, are usually free. Larger AI changes, new pages, translations or images tend to use credits or require a paid plan.

How it works in OAZEE: exactly what is free

To make the comparison concrete, here is how it works in OAZEE. All prices are on the pricing page.

Free in OAZEE

• Creating and publishing your first single-page website on an OAZEE address (oazee.space/your-name).
• Describing your business by text or voice: AI prepares the structure, copy and design.
• A one-off gift of 60 ZEE after signing up, for trying the AI tools.
• Manual text edits in the preview, at any time and without limits on the number of changes.
• Uploading your own photos and logo.
• Technical basics: mobile layout, HTTPS, title and description, sitemap and structured data.

What is limited on the free plan: the website stays on the OAZEE address, has a small “Made with OAZEE” link in the footer and you publish only the homepage. The contact form works with a limit (the current limit is on the pricing page). A free website that nobody visits for 90 days is archived.

What costs money: ZEE are credits for AI actions. You always see the price before you confirm. For example, an AI edit of a block costs 15 ZEE, a new logo set 20 ZEE and a new subpage 35 ZEE. Your own domain, additional published pages and the option to hide the OAZEE link come with the paid plans Start, Pro and Business, starting at €12.90 per month.

Can I have a free website with my own domain?

This is the most common question, and the honest answer is: the domain itself almost always costs something. A domain is rented from a registrar, usually for one year, and someone has to pay for that registration.

When a provider offers a "free domain", it usually means one of these:

• a free domain for the first year with an annual paid plan,
• a subdomain on the provider's domain (yourname.provider.com), which is not your own domain,
• a promotion where renewals are paid at the regular price.

In OAZEE you can connect your own domain on the Start, Pro or Business plans. With an annual Pro or Business plan you get one new .cz or .eu domain free for the first year; renewals are paid. Read the renewal price before ordering a domain anywhere: it matters more than the first-year price.

When a free website is enough

A free website makes sense when you:

• are testing a new idea or service and want to see whether people respond,
• need something to link from your social media profile or business listing right now,
• want to see what AI prepares before you decide to pay,
• run a hobby project where your own domain does not matter.

For a business that wants to be found long-term, the free address has limits. People remember yourbusiness.com more easily, an email on your own domain looks more trustworthy and you do not depend on the provider's address if you ever move your website.

When it pays to upgrade

Consider a paid plan when:

• you print the address on business cards, a van or flyers,
• you want to add separate pages for individual services,
• customers start writing through the form regularly,
• you need language versions or advertising banners,
• you do not want any branding of the tool on your website.

Compare the price with the alternatives. A website from an agency or a freelancer usually costs a one-off amount in the hundreds or thousands of euros plus hosting and changes. A builder costs a monthly fee, but you edit it yourself. We go through the numbers in more detail in how much does a website cost.

Step by step: a free website with AI in 15 minutes

1. Prepare the basics: business name, services, area where you work, how customers contact you. A few sentences are enough.
2. Describe your business on the OAZEE homepage, by text or by voice using the microphone.
3. Check the draft: services, prices, contact details. AI does not know your real prices, qualifications or references unless you give them.
4. Edit details manually for free: click a text in the preview and change it.
5. Add your own photos. Real photos of your work build more trust than generic images.
6. Publish on the free OAZEE address and test the website on your phone, including the contact form.

Frequently asked questions

Is a website made with AI really free?

The first version and its publication on the provider's address usually are. Look at what happens next: whether there are limits on edits, the form or the number of pages, and what your own domain costs. In OAZEE the first single-page website on an OAZEE address is free, manual edits are free and AI actions use ZEE credits.

Will a free website show advertising?

It depends on the provider. Some show advertising banners, others a small note about the tool. A free OAZEE website has a small “Made with OAZEE” link in the footer; on a paid plan you can hide it.

Can I move from a free plan to a paid plan later?

With most builders, yes, and the website stays as it is. In OAZEE you choose a plan when you need your own domain or more pages; you keep editing the same website.

Can a free website appear on Google?

Yes, a free website can be indexed by search engines. Its position depends on the content, competition and other factors; no provider can guarantee rankings. Your own domain and good content help in the long run.
