Durable alternative
Durable generates a site in 30 seconds — but independent tests show it ignores what you typed and generates generic output every time. Artefact uses your actual business details to build a site that's genuinely yours.

Durable claims to build a website in 30 seconds. Here's what they don't tell you.
Multiple independent reviews found that Durable generates the same generic layout regardless of what you type. One tester described 'a plumber site and a yoga studio that looked identical.' Your business deserves better.
Reviewers consistently note that 'all designs follow comparable layouts despite multiple regenerations.' If every site looks the same, the speed advantage disappears.
Durable's Launch plan starts at $22/mo. Artefact's Core plan is $18/mo — and builds a site that actually reflects your business, not a template with your name on it.
Durable only supports individual product pages with Stripe buttons — no shopping cart, no catalog. If you sell products, you'll outgrow it fast.

The bottom line
Durable is fast — and so is Artefact. But fast and generic isn't the same as good. Artefact generates a site that actually reflects your business — the copy mentions your services, the images match your industry, the layout fits your business type. That's the difference between a website and *your* website.

Yes. Start a new site on Artefact for free — no credit card needed. Describe your business and see the difference in output quality. If you like it, you can cancel Durable and point your custom domain to your Artefact site.
Artefact focuses on the website itself — professional generation, editing, publishing, analytics, and contact form inbox. We don't bundle a CRM at this stage, which keeps the product focused and the price lower.
