Question 1

Can I resell it to clients under my own name?

Accepted Answer

You sell websites under your own brand and your client never needs to hear our name. That is normal and expected.

What you are not buying is the right to sell the system itself as your own product. You keep the installed system and every site you build with it. The trademark stays with us.

Question 2

Can I use this platform for client sites, or only my own?

Accepted Answer

Client sites are the point. The system installs on your own server and you build as many client sites on it as you like.

There is no per site fee to us, so a quiet client who pays you a small monthly amount is still profitable rather than being a cost you are carrying.

Question 3

Can the client edit their own site?

Accepted Answer

Not through a visual editor. Content is structured files, which is what keeps the sites consistent and is also a real limitation.

In practice most small business clients do not want to edit their own site. They want to send you two sentences and have it appear. If you have a client who genuinely edits weekly, say so early and we will talk about whether this is the right fit for them.

Question 4

Do I have to move my existing client sites?

Accepted Answer

No, and we would talk you out of it. Moving a working site that nobody is unhappy with spends your time and earns you nothing.

Use it for the next build instead. Then the one after. Older sites move when they were due a rebuild anyway, which is a conversation the client is already expecting.

Question 5

Do I need to know how to code?

Accepted Answer

You need to be comfortable with files, a server and a command line. Not expert. Comfortable.

AI does a lot of the actual typing, and the build standards travel with the system so you are not inventing structure from memory. If opening a terminal makes you anxious, a hosted builder will be a happier home.

Question 6

Does it need a database?

Accepted Answer

No. Pages are files, which makes a backup a folder copy and a move a folder copy.

The data warehouse behind the reporting does use a database, but that is one warehouse for your whole shop rather than one per client site.

Question 7

Does the client know what the site is built on?

Accepted Answer

Only if you tell them. Nothing in the site shows our name, and the site is yours to brand however you like.

Plenty of shops do mention it, because being able to say the client owns real files is a selling point rather than a secret.

Question 8

How is this different from WordPress?

Accepted Answer

Two real differences. Content lives in files rather than a database, so there is no plugin stack to keep current and no database to back up.

The second is the data layer. Search results, server logs and crawler visits collect into a warehouse you own, which gives a monthly client fee something real to show.

WordPress wins on ecosystem and on finding somebody else who knows it. That is a genuine advantage and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

Question 9

How many client websites can I build with it?

Accepted Answer

As many as you can sell. There is no site count in the licence and no fee that scales with how many clients you keep.

Your real limit is hosting and your own hours. Both of those are yours to manage rather than ours to meter.

Question 10

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Current pricing lives on the main site at aiwebsitesystems.com, because keeping one price in one place is the only way to be sure it is right.

The shape is a setup fee plus a monthly fee for updates and support. The monthly fee is not charged per client site, which is the part that matters when you have twenty of them.

Question 11

What do I send a client every month?

Accepted Answer

Which pages people landed on, which questions brought them there, what changed since last month, and one recommended next move with the reason for it.

Keep two numbers apart in that report. A crawler visit proves a bot read the page. It does not prove a person did, and mixing those is how a claim gets walked back later.

Question 12

What happens if a client wants to leave me?

Accepted Answer

You hand them a folder. Their site is ordinary files that run on any normal PHP hosting, so a handover takes an afternoon rather than a migration project.

You keep the system that built it. They keep the site it built. Both of those are true at once, which is why a clean exit is worth promising out loud in a proposal.

Question 13

What happens if I stop paying?

Accepted Answer

Every site you have built keeps running. They are your files on your hosting and nothing phones home to check whether you are current.

What stops is new work arriving. Updates to the system and help from us are the part the monthly fee buys, and that is the honest line between what you own and what you subscribe to.

Question 14

What should I charge a client for a site built on it?

Accepted Answer

Whatever your market pays. Your price is about your clients and your reputation rather than about what the tooling cost you.

The one piece of advice worth giving is to attach a monthly fee to every build from now on. Price it so it covers an hour of attention plus a real report, and describe what the client receives rather than how long you spend.

Question 15

Where does it run, and what hosting do I need?

Accepted Answer

Any ordinary hosting that runs PHP. No special stack, no container, no minimum plan from a particular company.

One thing worth knowing before you promise a client a full report. Collecting server logs needs access to the server. If a client insists on hosting somewhere you cannot reach, you get the search half of the data and not the server half.

Question 16

Which platform should a one person shop pick?

Accepted Answer

Start from what you will still be doing in three years, not from this week. If you want to keep client sites running for a long time and grow without your costs growing per site, a self-hosted option is the better bet.

If you would rather never see a server and you are happy paying monthly for that, a hosted builder is a fair trade. Both answers are respectable. Drifting into one by accident is not.
