Tips

  • Say who your customers are and where you work. It changes the whole website.
  • List what you sell, with prices if you want them shown.
  • Ask for anything special: extra pages, a price list, FAQs, recipes, an online shop. The builder does what you ask.
  • Hours, prices and years in business are only shown if you write them. We never make up facts about your business.
  • Not happy? Change a line and build again. Small, clear changes work better than starting over.

Too short: "Bakery." This gives a website that could be any bakery.

Most small businesses do well with one page. Want more than one? Give each page a name and say what should be on it, one line per page – otherwise we choose sensible ones for you.

Questions and tips

Is it really free?

Yes. Building and viewing a preview is free and needs no sign-up. If you save it, we keep it for 14 days. To keep it, choose Website Care (R299 a month: a designer perfects it, hosting, domain and email included, two changes a month done for you, cancel any time) or the Launch hosting plan (R69 a month: the same website, you change it yourself). Both come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

How many previews can I make?

A few every 24 hours. To make each one count, read the example at the top of the form and change one or two lines at a time rather than starting over. Hosting customers can build more from their client area.

How do I get a good-looking website?

Say who your customers are, where you work and what you sell, with prices if you want them shown, and ask for anything special you want on the site. Websites with your own logo and photos look best: on Website Care our designer adds them for you, and on any plan you can add them yourself in WordPress.

Can I have more than one page, or an online shop?

Yes. Choose one, three or up to five pages in the form and say what goes on each. For an online shop, write it in "What does your business do?", for example "an online shop for our candles". The online shop is ready for your products; you switch on card payments when you are ready.

Will you make up things about my business?

No. Prices, opening hours, years in business and similar facts are only shown if you write them. Anything missing is left out, so you can add it later.

Can I change the website later?

Yes. It is a normal WordPress website, so you can change the text and pictures yourself in the WordPress admin at any time. On Website Care, our designer does two changes a month for you. On the Launch plan you make changes yourself with the AI builder or in WordPress, or our designers can help for a fee.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes. Use a domain you already have, or register a new one with us.

Which languages can it write in?

It writes the website in the language you use in the form. Right-to-left languages such as Arabic are not supported yet; those websites are written in English for now.

What do you do with my information?

We only use it to build your website and to contact you about it. See our privacy policy.
