Getting started
How does ZonedWeb work?
Describe your business in plain English on the /templates page. Our AI picks your best template from 790+ options, lets you customize it live (colors, text, images), and deploys a real WordPress site to your own subdomain in 60 seconds. No code, no credit card.
Is there really a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan is free forever. You get 1 site, 10 templates, a subdomain (yoursite.zonedweb.com), 500MB storage, and community support. Upgrade anytime for custom domains, more templates, and real AI editing.
Do I need WordPress experience?
No. We handle all the WordPress stuff behind the scenes. You talk to AI in plain English — "make it darker," "add a menu page," "change the hero heading" — and see changes in the live preview instantly.
Can I use my own domain?
Custom domains are available on Starter and above ($29/mo). Point your DNS to our servers and we auto-provision SSL. See the custom domain guide in your dashboard.
AI & Customization
How does the AI Template Finder work?
It's a two-stage pipeline. Stage 1: Claude reads your description and extracts structured intent (industry, required features, vibe keywords). Stage 2: we filter our 790 templates by that intent, then Claude ranks the top 5 and writes a one-sentence reason for each pick.
How does the AI Customizer work?
It opens a live iframe preview of the template plus a chat panel. When you type a customization ("warmer colors," "new hero heading"), we send it to Claude, which returns structured customizations. Our WordPress mu-plugin applies them to the preview via postMessage — no page reload.
Are my conversations private?
Yes. Your messages are sent to Anthropic (Claude) for processing but never used to train AI models. They're stored on your session so you can resume, and deleted when you delete your account.
How many AI messages can I send?
The template finder is unlimited per session, with a 30-searches-per-IP-per-day cap for abuse prevention. The customizer allows 20 messages per session. Paid plans remove the per-session cap.
Deployment
How long does a deployment take?
About 60 seconds for a fresh site. You'll see real-time progress on the site detail page: Provisioning → Installing → Configuring → Active. When it's done, you get an email with the admin URL and credentials.
What if my deploy fails?
Most failures are transient (network hiccups). Click Retry in your dashboard. If it fails twice, email [email protected] and we'll investigate manually within an hour.
Where is my site hosted?
On our managed Hetzner servers in Nuremberg, Germany (EU) with Cloudflare CDN in front. For Business plans, we can deploy to a dedicated VPS on request.
Billing & Plans
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, from your dashboard. You keep access until the end of your billing period. No cancellation fees.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — 30-day full refund on any first-time paid subscription. See our refund policy.
Can I switch plans?
Yes, both up and down. Upgrades are prorated; downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period.
What happens if I downgrade from Pro to Free?
Your extra sites stay live but become read-only. Export what you need within 30 days — after that we delete the extra sites.
Didn't find what you need?
Our team typically replies within 12 hours on business days. Include your account email and a short description.
