Small Business
Web Builder
Describe the business. Get a complete website — services, proof, and contact — then publish it to your own domain. No developer, no six-week timeline.
Build your website
Start for free. No credit card required.
From brief to
live site
01
Describe
Tell the builder what the business does
Write a short brief: the service, who you help, the area you cover, and what a visitor should do next — call, book, or enquire. That brief is the input. You do not start from a blank canvas or a 40-page sitemap.
- Plain-language brief, not a design spec
- Services, proof, and contact details in one pass
- Works for trades, salons, shops, and professional firms
02
Edit
Replace the draft with your real information
The first version is a working site, not a mock. Swap in your photos, prices, hours, and reviews. Rearrange sections visually, or open the code editor for a one-off layout change.
- Visual edits for copy, photos, and order
- Code editor when you need a specific tweak
- No developer ticket for routine updates
03
Publish
Go live on your domain the same day
Publish to hosting that is already included. Connect a custom domain when you are ready. Share the URL on Google Business Profile, Instagram, and your email signature — then iterate from real enquiries, not another week of preview mode.
- One-click publish with hosting included
- Custom domain and automatic SSL on Pro
- Changes go live immediately after you save
The pages a
small business actually needs
Most owners over-scope the first site. A small business web builder should ship the four jobs below, then stop. You can add a blog or extra landing pages after the core site is taking calls.
Homepage that states the offer
A headline, what you do, who it is for, and a visible way to get in touch — above the fold on a phone.
Services or products
The actual work you sell, written in language a customer would use, not a feature dump.
Proof
Reviews, years in business, photos of real jobs, or named clients. Placeholder testimonials do not convert.
Contact path
Phone, form, or booking link on every page. If someone has to hunt for it, the site is failing.
Builder vs hiring a developer
Hire a developer when you need custom booking logic, a large catalogue, or a client portal. For a standard business website, the economics of a small business web builder win on cost, time, and who can change the copy next Tuesday.
| Approach | Typical cost | Time to live | Later edits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freelance developer | $1,000–$2,500 + hosting | 2–4 weeks | New invoice |
| Small agency | $2,500–$5,000+ | 4–8 weeks | Retainer or hourly |
| Bunstation | Free to start, from $12/mo | Same day | Self-serve |
The full buyer's checklist — industry by industry — lives on the website builder for small business guide. The 3-day launch plan covers the research step. This page is the product you actually use.
Built for owners
who will edit it themselves
Live this week, not next quarter
Generate, replace copy, publish. A small business web builder exists so the site starts generating enquiries while you still remember why you wanted one.
Mobile-first by default
Local customers search on a phone. The layout, type size, and contact action are built for that screen first.
Clean HTML search engines can read
Static output, editable titles, and fast hosting. You still need real copy and a Google Business Profile — the builder does not fake rankings.
You own the edits
Hours, prices, and seasonal offers change. If every edit is an invoice, the site falls out of date.
Hosting and domain in one place
No separate hosting account, no mystery DNS ticket. Publish, then point your domain when the content is ready.
AI for the first draft, not a lock-in
The model writes structure and starter copy. You keep the site. There is a code editor underneath if the prompt was not enough.
Related builds and guides
If the job is a QR code menu for a restaurant, start there instead of a generic homepage. Trades and studios can also begin from the local service or portfolio solutions. Browse free website templates if you would rather remix a layout than generate from a blank prompt.

A small business web builder is a tool that produces a complete website — homepage, services, about, and contact — without hiring a developer. Bunstation generates that site from a description of your business, then lets you edit copy, photos, and layout before you publish.
A freelance or agency site typically costs $1,000–$5,000 and takes weeks. Bunstation starts free. The Pro plan is $12/month and includes hosting, publishing, and a custom domain. You edit the site yourself, so later changes are not a new invoice.
Most small businesses go from a written brief to a published site the same day. Generate a first version in minutes, replace placeholder copy with your real services and contact details, then connect a domain and publish.
No. Describe the business in plain language. The builder structures the pages, writes a first draft of the copy, and produces a mobile layout. You can keep editing visually, or open the code editor if you want a specific change.
Local services, professional firms, shops, salons, trades, consultants, and restaurants. If you need a digital menu guests open from a QR code, use the restaurant menu build instead of a generic homepage.
Yes. Publishing includes hosting. On Pro you connect your own domain and SSL is provisioned automatically, so the site lives at your brand instead of a builder subdomain.
Yes. Every site is generated mobile-first. Most local searches happen on a phone, so contact details, the main offer, and the call-to-action stay reachable without pinch-zooming.
Yes. Change hours, prices, photos, or service copy yourself. There is no ticket queue and no developer on retainer for routine edits.
