Type "done for you website builder" into Google. Count how many results are actually done for you.
Most of what ranks is an AI builder that asks you six questions, generates a starter page, and hands you the same editor every DIY platform has always handed you. That is not done for you. That is DIY with better autocomplete on page one. For the full cost and time breakdown against DIY, see our complete comparison guide.
An AI-generated first draft is not a finished, maintained website.
The AI makes a page. It does not make the billing dispute disappear, the domain transfer frictionless, or next month's maintenance optional. That work is still yours, whether the first draft came from a human template or a questionnaire. See the fuller side-by-side in our Wix vs Squarespace vs Storebox comparison.
I cancelled an app on the Wix store during the trial period last December. I am STILL being charged monthly. Wix have told me three separate times they will cancel.

Squarespace's AI tools build a draft. You still run the store.
That's a legitimate DIY builder with an AI-assisted starting point. It's not done-for-you, because the "for you" part stops the moment the questionnaire ends. Considering a full switch? See our Squarespace alternative page.
Wix's ADI follows the same pattern. So does everything after it.
A $17 plan is not a $17 website.

"Concierge" and "white glove" have started showing up everywhere. Here's what they should mean.
A real request, in plain language, gets executed by a person or a supervised team, not routed into a self-service ticket queue you then have to follow up on.
The turnaround is committed, not best-effort. "We'll get to it" is not white glove. "Live within 24 hours" is.
Some competitors market this alongside the terms above. It usually means your hosting and uptime are handled, not that your content changes are. Check which one you're actually being sold before you commit. See what a real website maintenance service should include.
How a real done-for-you build works
How Storebox delivers a true done-for-you website
No templates to choose. No plugins to configure. No copy to write yourself. No editor to ever open.
Built by ex-Google engineers, not a template factory.
I'm an ex-Google AI engineer. My last company raised $200M and became a unicorn. Today I'm the Technology Chair of a Chamber of Commerce in Miami, which means I spend my weeks talking with business owners like you. Storebox exists so every one of them gets a real team behind their site, not another editor to learn.
Pricing that makes sense.
Done-for-you. No agency markup. No DIY headaches. Cancel anytime.

How the alternatives compare
If SEO and AEO are what you actually need rather than just a website, the more relevant comparison is against a marketing agency retainer, not a DIY builder.

Frequently asked questions
What is a done-for-you website builder?
A service that builds, hosts, and maintains a website on your behalf for a flat monthly fee, with no editor for you to learn. You describe changes, a team executes them. This differs from an AI website builder, which generates a first draft and then requires you to make all future edits yourself.
Is Wix or Squarespace a done-for-you website builder?
Not in the full sense. Both offer AI-assisted setup that generates a starting draft, which is a genuine time-saver, but every change after that draft, copy edits, SEO configuration, ongoing maintenance, is still done by you inside their editor.
What does "concierge" or "white glove" website service mean?
It means requests are handled by a person or a supervised team with a committed turnaround, typically 24 to 48 hours, rather than routed into a self-service tool. Check whether a provider using these terms is committing to a turnaround or just describing hosting.
How is a done-for-you website builder different from an AI website builder?
An AI website builder (Wix ADI, Squarespace's AI tools) automates the first draft, then hands you the standard editor for everything afterward. A done-for-you service never hands you an editor. Every change, at any point, is executed by the provider.
Can I switch from Wix or Squarespace to a done-for-you service?
Yes. Storebox migrates an existing Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Shopify, or Etsy site for free, typically within 24 to 48 hours, rebuilding the content on the new platform before switching the domain over.
Does done-for-you mean I cannot customize my site?
No. You describe what you want, from layout preferences to specific copy, and the team builds to that. The difference from DIY is who operates the tools, not how much input you have.
How much does a done-for-you website builder cost?
Storebox starts at $9.99 a month for a website with schema-based local SEO and unlimited edits, $19.99 a month with a full online store added, and $99 a month for ongoing SEO and AEO content production. A comparable marketing agency retainer for similar ongoing work typically runs $1,000 to $5,000 a month.
How fast is support with a done-for-you website builder?
On Storebox, requested changes go live within 24 hours, with no per-edit fee and no cap on how many changes you send.
