Do I need to recode my website?

No. The chatbot sits on top of the pages you already have. You do not replace your theme, move host or rewrite templates. If you can edit a page, you can install the widget.

Will it work on WordPress, Wix, Shopify and Squarespace?

Yes. WordPress can use a headers-and-footers plugin or the HyperChat plugin (submitted to the directory). Wix uses a custom embed, Shopify theme.liquid, and Squarespace code injection. Same script tag on all of them.

Does the chatbot know my business?

It should. HyperChat reads the public pages on the URL you give it and answers from that content. A thin site makes a thin bot — services, FAQs and prices on the site are what it can talk about. You can also teach it extra answers after launch.

How much does it cost?

Building and testing is free. HyperChat Live is £49 per chatbot per month, with 5,000 AI answers included. Cancel anytime.

Can I add a chatbot
to my website?

Q: Can I add a chatbot to my website?

Yes. Every major website platform has a place to paste a script tag. You build the chatbot from your website URL, copy one line of embed code, and put it just before the closing body tag. No developer is required.

Short answer: yes. You do not need a developer, a new website, or a pile of training documents. You need a URL, one script tag, and about five minutes.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Yes, you can add a chatbot to your website. Build it from your existing URL, copy the embed code, and paste it just before the closing body tag. WordPress, Wix, Shopify and Squarespace all have a box for that. The bot answers from your public pages; HyperChat Live is £49/month once you want it on the real site.

01 // What “adding” actually means

Your site stays.
A bubble appears.

NOT A REDESIGN

Nothing about your theme, navigation or hosting changes. The chatbot is a small script that draws a button in the corner. Visitors who ignore it never see a chat window.

TRAINED ON YOUR PAGES

Paste the URL you already have. HyperChat reads the public pages — services, about, FAQs, contact — and the assistant answers from that, not from the open internet. If a fact is not on the site, it should say so rather than invent it.

ONE LINE TO GO LIVE

When you activate, you get a single <script> tag. Every major platform has a footer / code-injection / custom-embed setting for exactly that. WordPress walkthrough.

02 // The three things people worry about

Developer, speed,
and looking cheap.

Do I need a developer?

No. If you can log into WordPress, Wix, Shopify or Squarespace, you can paste a script tag. HyperChat UK support will also walk you through it.

Will it slow my site down?

A well-built widget loads after your page content, so it should not dent Core Web Vitals. HyperChat’s embed is one lightweight script that draws the bubble once the page has loaded.

Will it look generic?

The bubble uses your brand colour. The answers come from your pages, not a stock script. You set the greeting. If the knowledge is thin, that is a content problem on the site — not a widget-skin problem.

What if my site is on a custom CMS?

Same method: one script tag before the closing body tag. If you cannot edit HTML, send the line to whoever maintains the site. It is a five-minute change.
