The Hostinger website builder alternative for a shop
You do not want a hosting plan, a control panel and a builder. You want the site to exist.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
Hostinger's builder arrives attached to a hosting account, which is fine if you were buying hosting anyway and confusing if you were not. There is a control panel, a domain to point, a plan to renew and then a blank builder. Clay skips all of it: search your business name, and a site built from your Google listing is live on an address within a minute, hosted, with nothing to configure.
Clay vs Hostinger
Your photographs, already sorted
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
What it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.
How it works
Search your business
Type your name, Clay pulls your photos, hours, reviews and contact details straight from your Google listing.
Pick a style
Choose a look and Clay builds a full site around your content. Change anything with a tap, no code, no templates to wrestle.
You're online
Publish to your own name.clay.site in minutes. Add a custom domain and connect your own tools whenever you're ready.
Real sites, made with Clay
Open one. It is the live site in a frame, not a screenshot, so what you see is what it looks like right now.
Questions
How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
I already pay Hostinger for hosting.
Then keep it for whatever it hosts. Clay hosts the site itself, so the only thing you would move is the domain.
Is Clay cheaper?
The free tier is a real live site, and the paid plan does not renew at a different number to the one it was sold at. That second part is the comparison worth making.
What about email?
Clay does not do email hosting. Keep that where it is and point the domain at Clay: a domain, the badge off and the pro features.
