Best for: a service business that wants its site, client intake, contracts and payments in one place

Websites, online stores, portfolios, blogs and web apps, with client tools such as intake, contracts and payments on the higher plan.

An AI agent turns a plain-language description into a draft site in about two minutes; you chat with it to change design or copy, add a backend, and set up scheduled tasks.

Free plan

Code export

No code export. Strikingly's help center says it doesn't allow site export or downloading site pages because the editor stays tied to its servers; leaving means rebuilding elsewhere.
