We design and publish a simple website for small businesses across North America. You supply your business information; we handle the agreed page and launch.
What your free website includes
- Design and build of one agreed, mobile-friendly page
- Business introduction, services or menu, hours and contact details within the agreed page
- Links to your existing ordering, booking or social pages
- A studio subdomain, hosting and HTTPS
- Launch checks and correction of studio-caused defects
- No payment card and no automatic paid upgrade
Know the limits before applying
- No custom domain is included. Discuss a paid plan if you need your own web address.
- No scheduled content updates. Agree any later edits and charges before work starts.
- Extra pages, languages or locations, ecommerce and complex integrations need a separate scope.
- Your supplied content remains yours. Source files, access, service duration and exit arrangements are confirmed in writing; a free site does not promise free source-code handover.

From an email to a live website
Tell us about your business
Email your business name, area, goals, content and any existing website. Do not send passwords or payment details.
Review the fit and scope
We review capacity and confirm what is included, content approval, timing and service arrangements. Not every request is accepted.
Make and review the page
We prepare the agreed website and review it with you. A concept demo, if offered, is a separate evaluation step.
Agree and launch
After content and launch approval, publish the agreed free website without a paid subscription or card.
Questions about the $0 plan
Is the website really free, including hosting?
The agreed free plan has $0 setup and no recurring client fee. One studio subdomain, hosting and HTTPS are included. It is not a promise of unlimited work or service forever.
Why is the plan free, and will there be ads?
The free model allows clearly marked, approved display ads whose revenue supports the studio. Ads may be shown only after the required approval and applicable consent checks; advertising revenue is not guaranteed.
Do I have to buy a paid plan after a demo?
No. An accepted free website does not require a paid subscription and does not automatically convert. A concept demo evaluates a project; its production rights and deliverables must be agreed separately.
Can I use my own domain or remove ads?
The free plan uses a studio subdomain and may show ads. Ad-free service and the published client-owned domain allowance are available on paid plans; review scope before choosing.
Can I change the menu or business information later?
No scheduled content updates are included. Ask about a separately agreed update or a paid care plan. Studio-caused defects are corrected outside content-update allowances.
Who owns my content, and can I take the website elsewhere?
Your supplied content remains yours. Website source, licenses, access, moving the site and ending service need written agreement. Free hosting does not itself transfer website source.
