To be fair

Where an AI builder is the better choice.

AI builders do some things very well. Pick one, or recommend one to a client, if these sound right.

  • The business needs to be online this week

    Durable makes a working site from a few details in minutes. For a brand-new business, something correct now beats something perfect next month.

  • The owner wants to do it all themselves

    Durable puts the site, bookings, payments and a customer list in one app the owner runs without a designer.

  • Your clients expect WordPress

    10Web gives you an AI first draft on WordPress, so you keep the plugins and shops you already know.

  • You want hosting and care in one dashboard

    10Web's backups, staging and updates sit next to every client site, with client billing under your brand.

  • You run a team

    10Web has plans made for agencies with staff and for resellers. Volant is made for one person.

Where Volant fits

The site is one part.Volant runs the rest.

Your agent researches the business, builds the site and drafts the offer. Each client's research, site versions, payments and requests stay together on one page, so you know where every client stands.

Straight answers

Before you choose.

Should I ever recommend Durable to a client?
Yes. If a new business only needs to be online this week and is happy editing it alone, say so. Offer to help when the site needs to do more.
Can I move a 10Web client into Volant?
Yes. Add the client by hand, from a spreadsheet or from HubSpot. Their WordPress site can stay where it is, or your agent can start a new one from the live pages.
Can a client leave me and keep their site?
Yes. A site your agent builds is ordinary files. Hand the folder over or move it to their own hosting.
Can I change how Volant works for my agency?
Yes. Ask your agent to add a field or a view you need. You check it before it's switched on.

Questions

AI website builders or Volant: common questions.

Is Volant an AI website builder?
No. Your own AI agent, such as Claude Code, builds the sites. Volant runs the agency around them: who you pitch, what each client bought, their sites, payments and requests, with your approval before anything goes out.
What's the main difference between Durable, 10Web and Volant?
Durable is made for a business owner to build and run their own site. 10Web is WordPress hosting with an AI builder and tools for agencies. Volant is for running a one-person AI agency, with your agent doing the work.
Can I move a site off Durable or 10Web?
Durable's help centre says a domain bought through Durable can move out once the subscription has been active for three months in a row; ask Durable how the pages come with you. 10Web's help centre explains how to download a backup and restore it on another WordPress host. Test either once before you promise it to a client.
How much do Durable and 10Web cost, roughly?
Both are monthly subscriptions. 10Web's grows with the number of sites you host, with extra storage charged by use. Check each pricing page for current plans, because prices change.
What do I need to use Volant?
A Mac or Windows PC and Claude Code, signed in to your own AI account. Your AI provider bills you for your agent's use.
