Find Local Businesses Without Websites and Sell Them One
Find local businesses without websites and sell them one
In plain English
Romulus finds local businesses that have no website, builds them a sample site with AI and sends them a preview. Freelancers use it to land web design clients as a side income. They pay a monthly plan. The business owner sees their own new site before saying yes.
