What “done-for-you” actually means
Done-for-you means we do the building — you don’t. You give us your business name; we pull your photos, services, hours, and reviews from your Facebook Page and Google listing, assemble a modern mobile-first website, and you simply approve it. No editor, no templates, no technical setup. Free to start, live in 24 hours.
There are really only three ways to get a small-business website in the Philippines. A DIY builder (Wix, Google Sites, Carrd, GoDaddy, Hostinger, Shopify) hands you an empty tool and tells you to design, write, and maintain everything yourself. A freelancer or agency takes ₱12,000–₱15,000 or far more, then makes you wait weeks while you brief them. Done-for-you, which is what we do, is the third way: a finished, professional site built for you from content you already have, with nothing for you to learn or upload.
The thing nobody puts on the price tag of a DIY builder is the most expensive part: your time, and the DIY look you end up with. A first-time owner building a simple five-page site on a DIY builder can lose anywhere from days to weeks of evenings to it (WordPress.com, 2025), and the result usually still looks like a template someone filled in after a long shift. Done-for-you removes both costs at once, so you can stay focused on the business.
The Filipino small-business reality
Nearly every Philippine business is a small one, almost all of them are on Facebook, but very few have a real website — mostly because building one yourself takes time and skill they’d rather spend running the business. Done-for-you is the bridge.
Read those together and the pattern is obvious: the businesses are tiny, they’re already on Facebook, and almost none have crossed over to a real site — not because they don’t want one, but because DIY building costs time and skill they’d rather spend serving customers. Done-for-you is the path that removes the only real blocker.
Who builds it, and whose time it costs
With a DIY builder, YOU build it — your hours, your design skills, and usually a DIY look. With a freelancer or agency, you pay ₱12,000–₱15,000+ and wait weeks while you brief them. With Web by Lods.AI, we build it from your Facebook, free to start, in 24 hours — you just approve it.
This is the question the price comparisons usually skip, so here it is plainly, with real numbers.
The honest comparison isn't just price — it's WHO does the work. DIY builders (Wix / Google Sites / Carrd, ₱299–₱800/mo) make you build it yourself. Freelancers and agencies charge ₱12,000–₱15,000+ and make you wait. Web by Lods.AI is the only done-for-you, free-to-start path.
| DIY builder (Wix / Hostinger) | Freelancer | Agency | Web by Lods.AI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | ₱0 plan, but paywalled (ads + branded subdomain) | ₱8,000–₱25,000 | ₱40,000–₱500,000+ | ₱0 to start (or ₱8,500 to own sooner) |
| Who builds it | You | One freelancer | A team | We do — your Web Lods ❤️ |
| Time to live | Hours–weeks (your time) | 2–6 weeks | 4–12 weeks | ~5 business days |
| GCash / Maya pay | Usually unsupported | Varies | Varies | Yes |
| Taglish + PH-local | No | Sometimes | Sometimes | Yes |
| Free preview first | No (free trial only) | No | No | Yes — built in 24h |
| Ongoing | ₱280–₱2,800/mo + your labor | ₱2,000–₱10,000/mo maintenance | ₱2,000–₱10,000/mo | ₱1,699/mo yr 1 → ₱1,000/mo yr 2, cancel anytime |
PH price bands from published 2026 market data (agencies ₱15k–₱500k+; DIY builders ₱280–₱2,800/mo). Web by Lods.AI is a done-for-you service — not a DIY builder.
Put another way: a DIY builder is “free” only if your evenings are worth nothing. A ₱299–₱800/month Wix or GoDaddy plan still leaves you as the designer, copywriter, photographer, and webmaster. A done-for-you site is agency-quality work, built for you from your real content, but free to start instead of ₱12k–₱15k upfront.
Not a free mockup — actually free to launch
A teaser mockup is a fake screenshot dangled to upsell you later. What we build is the real, fully-functional site — your actual photos and reviews from Facebook, working buttons, a live chatbot — and you see all of it, and the exact monthly, before you pay anything. Free to launch, not a free mockup to bait an upsell.
Online advice often warns that “free done-for-you” offers are just free mockups or basic 5-page designs used to upsell premium features later. That suspicion is fair — and it’s exactly the trap we refuse to set. Here’s the difference, side by side:
🎣 A teaser mockup (what to avoid)
A non-working screenshot or shell. Real features — booking, payments, your domain — are paywalled. You can’t actually use it until you commit, and the price keeps climbing.
✅ Our free-to-launch site
A real, fully-functional website — your own photos and reviews from Facebook, a live chatbot you can message, working click-to-call, Messenger, and GCash. You see it all, and the exact ₱1,699/month, before you pay a centavo. Cancel anytime.
You see the finished site and the transparent price before any money changes hands. The monthly is on the page, not hidden behind a “contact us.” That’s what honest “free” looks like: the site is delivered free, later content modifications are billed, and the year-2 rate (which drops to ₱1,000/month) is stated upfront and subject to change. No bait.
How you pay: ₱0 to start, transparent monthly
Two ways to pay for the same done-for-you site — pick whichever fits. Either way, the build is delivered free and only later modifications are billed. The price is on this page, not hidden.
No big payment, no commitment. Get your site live this week and see results before you spend a centavo. Your bill drops in year 2. (Year-2 rate subject to change.)

You already do the hard part — running the business. Let someone do the easy part for you: showing up on Google, booking the customer, and taking the GCash. That’s done-for-you.
Built for Filipino small business — GCash, Taglish, and all
Yes, we accept GCash, we speak your customers’ language, and we build it for you in Bacolod. Most DIY builders, including Wix, still don’t take GCash at all — and none of them do the building for you.
We’re GCash-first, Taglish-friendly, and built in Bacolod for the way Filipino businesses actually work. If you run a clinic, we build niche-tuned, done-for-you sites for dental clinics, dermatology & aesthetics clinics, and veterinary clinics. Wondering about the money side?
