Why it's free
Why the website is free
We design and build your five-page WordPress website for $0. Our business is the optional work some clients hire us for later, such as extra pages, ongoing updates, and search improvements, and a free website that works is how we earn that trust. The free build stands on its own: you keep the site whether or not you ever buy anything from us.

What we charge for, and what we never charge for
The five-page design and development work is free, with no deposit, setup fee, or required monthly plan. We never charge you to keep, edit, or move your website.
After launch, some clients ask us for more. We quote that work separately and only when you request it. Our services page lists every paid service, and these are the usual extras:
- Extra pages beyond the first five, or a custom design, through web design
- Ongoing updates, backups, and care, through website maintenance
- Booking, scheduling, or custom forms, through website development
- Help writing content or improving search visibility, through SEO services
What you pay someone else
Every public website needs hosting and a domain name. You buy them yourself, in your own name, from any provider you choose, and you pay that provider directly. We do not sell hosting, add a markup, or earn anything from the provider you pick. If you already have hosting and a domain, we build on them.
You only need them when you decide to launch, after you have seen and approved the private preview. Basic WordPress hosting usually costs a few dollars to about $15 a month, and a domain name is usually around $10 to $20 a year. Check your provider's checkout for the exact price.
Every cost in one table
| What it is | Who pays | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Design and development of five pages | Nobody | $0 |
| WordPress hosting | You, to the provider you choose | A few dollars to about $15 a month |
| Domain name | You, to your registrar | About $10 to $20 a year |
| Optional extras after launch | You, only if you ask | Quoted separately |
Who qualifies for a free website
We review every application and accept projects where the scope is clear and five pages fit the business. Local service companies, professional practices, and new businesses with a simple offer are the most common fit. If a project needs something larger, such as more than five pages, we tell you before any work starts and quote the extra work separately. We do not build online stores or e-commerce sites.
Why there is no catch
The domain, hosting, and WordPress administrator login are yours from day one, so we have no way to hold the site hostage. If you decline the private preview, you owe nothing. If you launch and never contact us again, the site keeps running on your hosting account.
What happens after your site launches
Once the site is live, it runs on your hosting account and renews on your domain registrar's schedule. We do not bill you for anything unless you ask for more work. Some owners email us a few months later for a new page or a booking form. Others never get in touch again, and their sites keep running.
If you do ask for paid work, we send a written quote first. You decide whether to go ahead, and you can hire a different developer instead, because you already have the administrator login.
How this compares with a free website builder
A free website builder is free because you do the work and the platform keeps your site on its servers, often with its branding or a subdomain until you upgrade. Our model runs the other way. We do the design and building for free, and the finished site lives in hosting and a domain you pay for and control. You can compare the two in detail on our free WordPress website page.
Why five pages
Five pages cover what most small business visitors look for: what you do, the services you offer, who you are, what customers say, and how to reach you. Keeping the scope fixed is what lets us build the site for free. A larger site takes more time to design, write, and test, so we quote anything beyond five pages as optional paid work.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a monthly fee?
Not from us. Your only recurring costs are your hosting plan and domain renewal, paid directly to the providers you choose. Ongoing care from us is optional and quoted separately.
Do I have to buy add-ons to get the free website?
No. The free five-page build does not depend on any purchase. Add-ons are offered after launch, and most clients who only want the five pages never buy one.
What if I change my mind after the preview?
You can decline without a design invoice. You only buy hosting and a domain once you approve the preview and decide to launch, so declining costs you nothing.
