Two AI website builders people ask me about a lot: Durable and Readdy.
Aliya, November 2026.
Durable asks you a few questions about your business and gives you a whole site in like a minute. Durable says 3 million businesses are built on it. Fast, really.
Readdy starts from a prompt, a screenshot or a link. Design-focused, I like that. A smaller company, no public user numbers.
And then what happens, a lot of times. The site is there. But it looks like... a site. Not like you.
Why people look for something else
- "It looks like everyone else's." Same sections, same structure. Durable is made for speed, not for your vibe.
- "Every change costs credits." Readdy runs on credits. You change a lot, you top up.
- "I want to move things myself." Chat is nice. Sometimes you just want to grab it and put it there.
- "Where is my brand?" Words, tone, who you talk to. Nobody asks.

What I use
Big Cat. Yes it's mine, I'm biased, I know.
The difference for me is where it starts. Not from a questionnaire. From a design you love. A site that gives you chills, a screenshot, your Pinterest board. It takes the feeling and makes your site with your words and photos, never a copy.
Then there's a brand strategist inside. It writes in your tone and puts things in an order that makes sense to your client. Because a fast site that doesn't sound like you, for me it's not done.
Drag things yourself, or ask the cat. Phone version is done by itself.
Durable is great if you need something online today and you don't care how it looks. Readdy is great if you like chatting your design. If you want it to feel like you, try this.

Questions people ask
What is a good alternative to Durable?
If speed is enough, Hostinger AI or Wix AI. If you want the site to look like you, Big Cat starts from a design you love instead of a questionnaire.
What is a good alternative to Readdy?
Big Cat also starts from a screenshot or a link, but it takes the feeling of the design and adds your brand words. And you can drag things yourself, not only chat.
