The honest side-by-side.
| InkySites | Bluehost | |
|---|---|---|
| Starts from your existing site | Yes. We redesign what you have. | Migration moves WordPress hosting; if yours is custom or orphaned, it is rebuilt from scratch. |
| Who builds it | We do, and a person on our team looks it over before it reaches you. | AI generates a first draft, then you finish it. |
| Who makes ongoing changes | We do. Write what you want in your dashboard in your own words, tap the thing you mean on your own site, or ask for changes on WhatsApp. Your evening stays yours, because you never open an editor or learn a tool you'd use twice a year. Most changes are live within the hour. All within 48. | You do, by AI prompt or by hand. |
| Monthly cost | $29 a month, paid month to month. Hosting and your changes are in it. | $15.99 a month paid month to month, or $9.99 a month on a 12 or 24-month term, after a 14-day free trial with no card. 20 AI edits a month. |
| Design help included | Yes. We redesign your site and run it for you. | AI generation; human design is call-to-quote. |
| Hosting | Included. | Included. It is the core product. |
| AI-search groundwork | Shipped and kept current. You never get sent a list of fixes to make yourself. | Available from a WordPress plugin you add and maintain. |
| Leave with your site | Files any time; you own the code. | Yes. You own your WordPress site. |
Bluehost's prices were read from its own pages on 19 October 2026. Its builder's questions say that after the 14-day free trial you can choose "the Get Online plan at $9.99/mo (12 or 24-month term) or $15.99/mo on a monthly basis", with "20 AI edits per month" (bluehost.com/ai). Its AI Website Builder page said "No credit card required" for the trial. InkySites's "most within the hour, all within 48" is our normal turnaround, not a contractual SLA. See how the whole done-for-you category prices up.
Who each one is right for.
Choose Bluehost if
You want to own your WordPress site outright, you're happy being your own webmaster with AI to help, and you may want the plugin ecosystem later for a shop or a booking system. If a lower monthly price matters more than the hours you'll put in, Bluehost is a fair call.
Choose InkySites if
You already have a site, you'd rather not become its webmaster, and you'd rather pay a bit more to have the work done for you than pay less to do it yourself. We redesign what you have and run it for you, changing it whenever you ask.
Questions people ask.
Isn't Bluehost's AI builder the same idea as InkySites?
No. An AI builder lowers the effort, but it still hands you the keyboard: you describe your site, review it, publish it, and, even when you "edit by asking, not clicking", you're the one who has to keep asking, forever. InkySites does the building and the changes for you. You never open an editor.
Bluehost's builder is $15.99 a month. Why is InkySites $29?
Bluehost's $15.99, paid month to month, is for a builder you still run yourself, with 20 AI edits a month. More to the point, that price buys software and a server. InkySites's $29 buys the work itself: we make your changes, so the hours you'd otherwise spend, week after week, are the real saving. You're paying for the work to be done.
I already have an old site. Can Bluehost just modernise it?
Bluehost can migrate your existing WordPress site to its hosting, but that's a hosting transfer, not a redesign. If your site is custom-coded or orphaned, there's nothing to migrate and you'd rebuild from scratch. InkySites starts from the site you already have: you paste the URL and we redesign it.
See your site redesigned. Then decide.
Paste your URL and we'll email you a fresh redesign in 48 hours. Free, no card. If you like it, it's $29 a month from there.
It is free, needs no card, and there is nothing to cancel.
