Build your own website in 10 minutes, for £0, and only pay if you go live

What free means here

Building and previewing costs nothing. You do not enter a card, you do not start a trial, and the preview site is a real address you can send to anyone. What costs money is going live: taking real customers, real money and your own domain. That is a one-off build fee, paid only when you choose to launch. Until then, build as many versions as you like.

The ten minutes

Most of the time goes on looking at what you have built, not on building it. The site is finished the moment you name it; the rest is you deciding what to keep.

1. Minute 1: type what your business does in one sentence. The builder reads it, shows a short building screen, and lands you on the closest template with the industry and product already chosen.
2. Minute 2: type your platform name. The logo is drawn for you in a family that fits the business, and you can press generate again for another.
3. Minutes 3 to 4: pick your colours and the template layout. Every page changes as you click.
4. Minutes 5 to 7: choose your pages. Add any page by name, such as Business loans or Investing with us, and it arrives written about that subject.
5. Minutes 8 to 9: open the preview. It is a complete site with photographs, a working sign-up form and a help centre.
6. Minute 10: press Edit this site, click any headline, sentence or photo, and change it in place. Save.

Editing by clicking, not by learning a tool

Once your site exists, you do not go back into a builder to change it. You open the site, press Edit this site, and click. Text becomes a box you type in. Photos get a Change photo button that opens a library you can filter by who is in the picture and where they are, or you upload your own. Any section you do not want gets a Hide button. If you would rather say it than click it, the microphone takes instructions such as change this photo to a woman at a laptop, or hide this section.

This is the difference from a page builder: there is nothing to drag, no columns to align, no settings panel. The finished page is the editor.

Any language, without translating anything

Every site built here carries a language switch. A visitor picks their language and the whole site, including the pages you wrote, reads in it. You write once, in English or in your own language, and the site meets each visitor in theirs.

What you get before you pay a penny

A home page with your name, your colours and photographs of people doing what your customers do. A features page, pricing, FAQ, contact with a working form, terms and privacy written for a platform like yours, and any page you add by name. A sign-up form that works in preview and marks its test entries as tests. A ring on the main photo that tells a visitor, out loud, what your platform does. And an owner's console showing sign-ups, messages and orders.

Going live, when you are ready

Choose your own domain, verify who you are with a selfie, and pay the build fee against your own invoice. The platform goes live on your domain within 24 hours of the payment being confirmed. From then on the fees you charge your users are yours to set and yours to keep. If your platform needs a registration or permission to operate, we tell you which, in writing, before you pay.
