The Floor

What five minutes buys

Ten sites, ten businesses, one tool. Open any of them and click around. This is the floor, not the ceiling.

How these were made, honestly. The businesses are invented, and so are the owners: each site was built by an AI agent told to act like a particular small-business owner, allowed to use nothing but this wizard and free photographs from Wikimedia Commons.

No AI wrote any of these websites. The agent filled in the same boxes you would, in the same order, and the templates did the rest. That is the whole point: if answering ten screens of questions produces this, the questions are not the expensive part.

The sites themselves are real. These are the exact files the tool produced, unopened and unedited, photographs included at the size they were uploaded.

What they all have in common

Every one of these has two big photographs on the home page, a tidy row of three reasons to choose the business, a gallery, and a price list. That combination is what most people mean when they say a website looks "modern" or "custom". Each one of those took a single upload and a sentence.

That's the point of showing you ten of them at once. Individually each looks considered. Side by side you can see the pattern, and once you've seen the pattern you can't unsee it in the next quote you're handed.

What none of them have: a contact form that sends anything, a word of search-engine work, a compressed photograph, or anyone who asked what the business actually needs. Build one yourself and the Reality Check at the end lists the rest.

Photograph credits

57 photographs were used across these 10 sites, found the way anyone would find free pictures. Most come from Wikimedia Commons under Creative Commons licences, which means the photographers get credited. If you use a free photo on your own site, this is the part people forget.
