Common Questions About Briefly Pro
What unique designs and integrations does Briefly Pro offer?
Briefly Free offers a starter website of up to 7 pages and adds pages one at a time. Briefly Pro expands this significantly, building your entire brief up to 50 pages in one run. It also includes 33 specialized designs, custom colour and font options, full WooCommerce integration, and advanced features like the AI Bulk Site Editor and Studio. Briefly Pro is designed for businesses needing a complete, custom online presence.
Does Briefly Pro create responsive websites for mobile devices?
Yes, all websites built with Briefly Pro are designed to be responsive. They adapt to display correctly on phones, tablets, and desktops. Pro also includes a sticky call bar specifically for phones, ensuring your contact options are always visible and accessible to mobile users, making it easier for mobile users to contact you.
Do I need to supply my own AI key to use Briefly Pro?
Yes, Briefly Pro requires you to supply your own AI key and set up an AI provider within WordPress 7.0 or newer. You pay your chosen AI provider directly for their services. You control your AI usage and costs, with no hidden markups or credits from Essential WP Kit.
What happens if my Briefly Pro licence ends or I uninstall the plugin?
Your website pages, once built by Briefly Pro, remain ordinary WordPress pages. They stay as built even if your licence ends or you uninstall the plugin. You retain full ownership and control over your content, never locked into a subscription or platform.
Single Brief, Complete Site
Every Briefly plan starts with a Business Brief. This is where you describe your business once, in plain English. From this single source, Briefly builds your pages, writes copy, and sets up your internal links. The same brief then feeds into Rankly for SEO optimisation. You never repeat yourself.
Guided Website Construction
Briefly guides your site creation. Choose 'Step by Step' for a guided setup or import an existing document. Once your AI key is connected, press 'Build my website. Briefly plans the pages your business requires, drafts the content for each, integrates your chosen images from your media library, and establishes a cohesive navigation menu, header, and footer.
What Briefly Free Provides
The free Briefly plugin builds a starter website of up to seven pages, including your home page, About, Services, Contact, and main service pages. After this initial build, you can add an unlimited number of additional pages, one at a time. All pages use the Lumen design with six brand colours, and you can edit content directly on the page.
Briefly Pro: Expanded Capabilities
Briefly Pro includes everything in the free version and adds substantial functionality. You can build your entire brief in one run, generating up to 50 pages (or 100 with Pro Max). It offers 33 designs, including Lumen plus 32 designs tailored for specific business types, with full-page previews. Pro allows you to use your own colours and fonts, or sync with your WordPress theme. You gain 'Design Scope' for applying designs to single pages or your entire site, plus features like featured pages, Spotlight announcements, and full WooCommerce shop, product, and category page support. Pro also adds a Website Check, the AI Bulk Site Editor, Studio, a performance layer with self-hosted fonts, a sticky call bar for mobile, related services, breadcrumbs, Google Reviews integration, and automatic broken link redirects.
Pro Max: Agency & Multi-Site Features
Briefly Pro Max extends Pro’s capabilities with a licence for up to 10 websites and supports building up to 100 pages in a single run. Agencies benefit from custom branding, allowing your name and logo to appear on the plugin instead of ours. 'Blueprints' enable you to save a site's configuration and use it as a starting point for new client projects. 'Client handover' provides a restricted login, giving clients the ability to change text and photos and review enquiries without the risk of breaking the site.
Your Website, Your Control
Every page Briefly builds is an ordinary WordPress page. Should you deactivate Briefly or your Pro licence ends, your website remains as built. When deactivating, Briefly offers to preserve your design, ensuring your pages, header, footer, and photos retain their appearance without requiring the plugin to display them. The enquiry form on a preserved page will open the visitor's email client addressed to you. Editing pages directly will require Briefly to be active.
Transparent AI Usage
Briefly requires your own AI key or a compatible AI provider set up in WordPress 7.0 or later. Your chosen provider bills you directly for AI usage, not Essential WP Kit. This approach ensures transparency; you see precisely what each build consumes. Briefly does not invent reviews, prices, or credentials; it only uses information from your brief.
What Briefly Does Not Include
Briefly builds content and design but does not manage hosting, domain registration, or email services. While it integrates with WooCommerce for shop pages, it does not handle payment gateways or shipping logistics. Content not provided in your business brief, such as specific staff bios or detailed company history beyond what you supply, will be omitted. Briefly provides optional free stock photos, but you are responsible for supplying your own unique images when needed.
