Budgets are what the posts state: USD uses the upper end of fixed-price budgets (Freelancer uses brackets, so percentiles often land on $30, $250 or $750); CNY uses the stated budget. Neither is the final deal price. Last 4 weeks of posts; fewer than 3 posts means no percentiles; other currencies are counted, not converted.

Prices and partner terms come from each vendor's official pricing pages (check dates on each card) and change over time. Prices may vary by region, and tax may be added at checkout; the official page is always the final word. “Price not verified” means we haven't checked the pricing page yet. Links go through our redirect page: “Affiliate” means we may earn a commission; “Has an affiliate program” means we don't have a link yet.

Get started
Get started
Four general steps: pick tools → make samples → list a service or bid → let AI draft, check by hand
Pick your tools
Choose one site builder (visual drag-and-drop or AI generation), then add a domain and hosting. For client sites, set up the domain and hosting in the client's own account.
Build 2–3 sample sites
Pick two or three common niches (restaurants, clinics, personal portfolios) and build a sample site for each. Make sure they look good on phones too, and add them to your portfolio.
List a service or bid
Offer packages tiered by number of pages. State whether copywriting is included, who pays for the domain and hosting, how many revisions you allow and what checklist you hand over at the end.
Let AI draft, check by hand
AI produces the pages and code. You test the mobile view, forms, load speed and every link. After launch, hand the admin account over to the client.
