We build Shopify websites for Southwest Florida businesses starting at $450, in one to two weeks instead of six. AI drafts the layout, copy and technical markup; a person reviews and finishes every page. You get a fast, search-ready site at a fraction of what a local agency charges — with the price printed right here.

How the build works
You fill in one questionnaire
Site type, pages you need, examples you like, colors, what you sell. Fifteen minutes, once. That form is the entire briefing process.
AI drafts, a human finishes
Layouts, copy, schema, meta tags and alt text get drafted fast, then reviewed and corrected page by page. Nothing ships that a person hasn't read.
You review, we launch
You see the real site on a preview link, ask for changes, and we publish. Balance is due on delivery, not before.
Why AI-assisted costs less without being worse
The expensive part of a traditional web build is not the design — it is the hours. Writing twelve pages of copy, hand-coding schema for every service, sizing images, filling in meta descriptions, building FAQ blocks. That work is repetitive, exacting, and exactly what AI is good at drafting.
What AI is not good at is judgement: whether the offer makes sense, whether a claim is legal, whether the page actually reads like your business. That stays human. The result is a site with more finished detail than most agencies ship, at a price that reflects the hours it truly took.
Getting found after launch
A site nobody finds is a brochure. Once yours is live, three monthly plans keep it climbing in Google's map pack and in what AI assistants recommend.
| Plan | Monthly | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | $360 | Google Business Profile optimization, weekly rank tracking, one post a week, review-request system |
| Growth | $720 | Everything in Foundation, plus two optimized pages a month, AI-citation testing, competitor gap tracking |
| Authority | $1,200 | Everything in Growth, plus four pages a month, local link building, full technical SEO |
Month to month. No contract, no setup fee.
Work you can go look at
The method was built and tested on a real business before it was ever sold: Lumina Skin Sanctuary, a licensed esthetician studio in Fort Myers run by the same owner. Everything here — the answer-first pages, the schema, the map-pack work, the AI-citation testing — runs on that site first. Open it and inspect it.
Run a spa, salon or med spa? Our sister brand Sanctuary Growth Co does this work specifically for the beauty and wellness industry, with case studies to match.
Southwest Florida areas we build for
We work across Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties. Local means we know the market you are competing in, not just your zip code.
Questions people ask before they hire us
How much does a small business website cost in Fort Myers?
A five-page site is $450, a ten-page business site is $900, and a full Shopify store is $1,350. Those are the real prices, not starting points — they are published here because most Southwest Florida agencies quote $3,000 to $8,000 for the same work and make you sit through a sales call to find out.
What does “AI-assisted” actually mean?
It means AI does the repetitive parts of a build — first-draft layouts, page copy, schema markup, image alt text, meta tags — and a human reviews, corrects and finishes every page before it goes live. That is why a site takes one to two weeks instead of six, and why it costs a fraction of agency rates. It is not a template generator.
What platform do you build on?
Shopify, every time — including plain marketing sites with no shopping cart. It means your site is fast, secure and hosted for you, you can add products or gift cards later without a rebuild, and the account stays in your name. Shopify bills you directly for their plan (from about $39/month) and your domain; we never mark either up.
How long does a website take?
One to two weeks for a five-page site once we have your content, two to three weeks for a ten-page site, and three to four weeks for a Shopify store. The clock starts when you return the questionnaire, not when you pay.
Do I need a website if I already have a Google Business Profile?
Yes. Your profile is what shows in the map pack, but Google reads your website to decide how much to trust that profile — and AI assistants quote websites, not listings. A profile without a site caps how high you can rank.
Will my site show up in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?
That is what the GEO work is for: answer-first page structure, FAQ schema, and fact density that AI models can extract and quote. We test it by asking the assistants directly and showing you the results. Nobody can guarantee a citation — anyone who does is selling you something.
Start with the free report, not a sales call
The AI Visibility Report shows where you rank across a map grid of your service area, whether ChatGPT and Google's AI actually recommend you, and the five fixes that would move the needle first. It is $178, and free for the first five Southwest Florida businesses that ask.
Southwest Florida and nationwide
Not in Southwest Florida? We build for businesses anywhere in the US.
Fort Myers is home, but every website, search plan and project hub works fully online. A business in any state gets the same fixed-price Shopify build, starting at $450, the same answer-first pages and the same live project hub. Local and AI search plans are set up for the cities you serve.
Who builds your site
Built by David, founder of AI Website Design SWFL
I’m David. I build every Shopify website on this site myself, using AI to move fast and checking every page by hand before it goes live. AI Website Design SWFL is owned and operated by Lumina Skin Sanctuary in Fort Myers, so I run both businesses on the same standards I sell: clear prices, honest add-ons and results you can measure.
