A public company can now buy a complete investor relations website that is designed, built, and maintained through AI-driven operations for a flat $299 a month. Widgets & Web announced its AI investor relations websites on October 24, 2026, with a blunt pitch: no setup fee, no design fee, and no per-change charges.
For agencies that billed five-figure design projects and monthly retainers for this exact work, that price is a wake-up call. For freelancers, it reprices the commodity layer and moves the money toward judgment, content, and support.
What Widgets & Web just announced
Widgets & Web is a Miami-based provider of investor relations websites for public companies, SPACs, and IPO-stage firms. Its new offer is a complete, custom IR site run through AI-driven operations at one fixed price.
The company says its operations run entirely on AI with zero employees, an operating model it describes as a first for the industry. Treat that as a company claim, not a verified fact: judge the service on its output and support, not its headcount story.

“We build the entire IR site, keep every feed live around the clock, and deliver it at a price any issuer can approve in one meeting.” — Steve Yakubov, CEO and co-founder, in the October 24, 2026 release.
What $299 a month actually buys
An investor relations site has one job: giving investors accurate, current information. The release lists live stock data, automated SEC filings from EDGAR, press feeds, investor alerts, governance pages, and presentations and events sections, plus ADA and WCAG design with an accessibility widget on every page.
How an AI-operated IR site stays current
The real selling point is not a prettier homepage. It is removing the manual upkeep that justified agency retainers: watching for filings, posting releases, updating charts, and fixing broken plugins.
How an AI-operated IR site stays current
1. Sign up → the company builds on its own platform.
2. First draft in 24 hours → a draft, not a finished launch, within a day.
3. Live feeds switch on → stock data, EDGAR filings, and press releases flow in.
4. Unlimited updates → changes and alerts maintained under the subscription.
Each site runs on a dedicated subdomain managed by Widgets & Web, on its proprietary platform. Per the release, there is no WordPress, PHP, or third-party CMS to maintain.
How to profit from this shift
The $299 price does not kill the IR services market. It pushes profitable work up the stack. Five concrete services to sell:
- Audit first. Fixed-fee IR audits: stale filings, broken feeds, missing governance pages, accessibility gaps.
- Sell the switch. Migration help for switching issuers: content inventory, redirects, launch checks.
- Write what AI cannot. Governance pages, leadership bios, presentations, and earnings narratives need human judgment.
- Own earnings season. Monitoring and rapid-update support during earnings, filings, and corporate actions.
- Target pre-IPO and SPAC clients. Firms preparing to list need an IR site before day one.
Reality check: verify before you switch
The release does not answer every contract question. Verify these directly with the provider:
- What human support exists when a filing posts incorrectly or a feed breaks?
- Who owns the content and data if the subscription ends, and how portable is the site?
- What does the 24-hour first draft include, and how long to a fully approved live site?
- How are accessibility claims tested, and who is liable if a page fails a check?
- Does annual $3,588 billing allow monthly cancellation, or is the full year committed?
Build these answers into your sales process before recommending the model to a client.
The bottom line
Widgets & Web has put a public, fixed price on work agencies used to scope case by case. Issuers get predictable costs and faster drafts. The winners among sellers will be those who stop competing with $299 a month and start selling everything around it.
