When Nanopage isn’t the answer

Honest reasons to keep using something else.

A 100-SKU online store

Nanopage is built for landing pages and small sites. A real store wants a real store platform.

A massive blog or CMS

If your model is “publish ten posts a week with five editors,” use a CMS that is built for it.

Pixel-level layout control

You can ask the AI for anything — but if you want to drag pixels by 2px in a canvas tool, that is not us.

A web app with real backend logic

Nanopage builds sites, not apps. Login walls, dashboards, payments inside the page — wrong tool.

Common questions

The answers people ask
before they switch.

Why is Nanopage so much cheaper?

Because the AI does the work other tools charge you to do yourself. There is no canvas editor team or template marketplace, and both yearly plans include the full product. Capacity-based plans start at $19 / year.

Will my site look like every other AI site?

No. The AI writes a fresh layout for your brief — your colors, your sections, your tone. Two restaurant menus built from the same prompt will not look alike.

Can I move my existing site over?

Paste in your current copy, upload your existing photos and PDFs, and the AI rebuilds it. Most people land on something better than what they had within an hour.

What if the AI gets it wrong?

Tell it what to change in plain English. “Swap the hero photo,” “shorten the intro,” “drop the FAQ.” Every edit is one sentence away.

Do I own what the AI makes?

Yes. Your site, your copy, your domain, your file. Cancel and you keep the files — there is no hostage situation.

Is there a free trial?

Your first build is free to preview before you pay, and every purchase has a 7-day no-questions-asked refund window. Build, look, refund if it isn't for you.

Try it for less than
the price of lunch.
