Our Offer

We do this for a very simple reason: it helps us connect with new entrepreneurs. Some of them later hire us for bigger projects as their businesses grow. It makes us proud that about 10-20% of our clients end up working with us on paid projects, like building more complex websites or apps. Also, 97% of the clients we build free websites for are happy with our work.”

To get your website up and running, and to keep it online, you’ll need web hosting, which costs a few dollars per month. We cover our website development costs by asking you to sign up for web hosting through our special link with one of the most popular providers. This link also gives you a discounted rate negotiated just for our clients.
When you use our link, we earn a commission from the hosting provider, but it doesn’t cost you anything extra. The hosting provider also offers a Money-Back Guarantee. So, if you change your mind, for example, if you decide you don’t want a website after starting with us, you can request a refund directly from them.
That’s it! We recover some of our costs through the affiliate commission when you sign up for web hosting.

We are a family brand of a LLC registered with the government of India under the name of parent company Staunchrypt LLP incorporated in June 2023 with CIN/LLPIN/FCRN number

 

You’ll need to sign up for one of our preferred web hosting companies to get access to our free-website service.  With our preferred host, there’s a one-year plan for just $35 USD which you can access using our discount link. This means that you’ll be getting a full professional WordPress website for which other web agencies charge several thousand dollars for less than $40. 
We also work with another provider, which has a great service as well. When you apply, just indicate that you’d prefer to sign up with them.

If you’re currently subscribed to a hosting service, we may still be able to collaborate with you in specific situations. Feel free to submit an application and mention that you already have web hosting arranged with one of these providers. If we determine that we can proceed with building your website, we’ll be in touch.

Our hosting providers offer competitive pricing, typically just a few dollars per month for the first year. They consistently receive positive reviews and are officially endorsed as the preferred web host by WordPress. If, however, you decide against having a website or prefer to use a different hosting company, you can request a refund from them within 30 days.
Considering that we usually complete most websites within 12-15 days, this timeframe allows you ample opportunity to make any decisions or changes to your hosting preferences.

To have your website live on the internet, you need to invest in web hosting. The only alternative to this is utilizing services like Wix. However, with Wix, your domain will include “wix.com” (e.g., yourdomain.wix.com), indicating it’s a sub-domain of Wix. If you desire your independent website with a distinct URL (e.g., yourdomain.com), then web hosting becomes a necessity.
For more insights into setting up websites, you can explore the process here: WebsiteSetup.org – Step 1. This resource explains that the initial step involves acquiring a domain and arranging website hosting.

Nope. 
Rest assured, we won’t ask for your credit card details, and there won’t be any payment contracts involved. Instead, you’ll need to sign up for website hosting, which is essential for putting any website online. A one-year hosting plan is available for just $35. It’s important to note that the commission we receive from the hosting provider is covered by them, not you.
Additionally, you have the option to invest in a professional website template for us to use in building your site. While we usually recommend Divi, you’re also free to opt for a free template, such as those offered by WordPress. The choice is entirely yours, giving you full control over your website’s design.

 

If you’ve already purchased a domain name, that’s fantastic. If you haven’t made a selection yet, no worries at all. We’ll guide you through the process of choosing and acquiring a domain.

Applying

You can apply here.

Every application we receive undergoes thorough review by our Applications Committee. This committee evaluates the following criteria:


Concept Approval:
Do we resonate with the concept for the website?


Ethical Considerations:
Is the proposed website concept ethical?


Scope Evaluation:
Is the project highly complex and beyond the scope of our free-website program?
Our commitment is to ensure fairness and to deliver valuable websites within the parameters of our program.

We review most applications within 48-72 hours, and accept approximately 25 – 30% of those who apply.

Our Process

We rely on WordPress, the most widely used content management system for websites. Approximately 30% of the internet operates on WordPress, making it our preferred platform for the majority of website projects (unless your goal involves creating something exceptionally complex).
WordPress is available for free, and once you’ve signed up for web hosting, we can easily install it on your hosting platform.

As part of our free-website program, we specialize in crafting simple yet professional websites for individuals.

Nope, not at all. You don’t need to be technically savvy to launch a website with us. We guide you through every step in a clear, step-by-step manner. After we’ve completed your website, we’ll provide you with a detailed instructional video that demonstrates how to make further edits and changes. This way, you won’t ever have to hire a website developer for future updates.

The website design process begins by ensuring a visually appealing outcome through professionally designed templates. These templates are crafted by graphic designers to enhance the overall look of your website.
You have the flexibility to choose from various options:
1. Free WordPress Templates: These are readily available and offer a good starting point.
2. Your Own Pre-Purchased Template: If you already have a template you like, we can work with that.
3. Divi: A popular webpage-builder that provides extensive customization options. You can explore Divi’s template library (link). With Divi, you have the freedom to customize colors, layout, fonts, images, buttons, and more.
There’s a wide array of professional WordPress themes to explore, and we’ll guide you through the selection process, helping you decide which template aligns best with your vision. Once you’ve made a decision, just let us know your desired modifications or edits, and we’ll start working to ensure your website looks exactly the way you want it to!

We strive to complete your website within a timeframe of no more than 3 weeks, provided you respond promptly to our emails and don’t request complex additional features. However, if you need more time to consider aspects such as content, design, or your logo, that’s perfectly fine. We can adjust our pace to accommodate your timeline.

Absolutely, you will have complete control over your website. After we’ve completed our work, you can delete our user account, which grants us access to the back-end of your website. Once that’s done, we won’t have any further ability to make edits or changes. Your website is entirely yours; we do not own it or control it in any way.

Certainly! You’ll have the ability to make edits to your website independently. Once we complete the website, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive video tutorial that guides you through the process of making additional edits. This means you won’t need to hire a web developer, and you’ll have full control. You’ll receive the training necessary to make refinements and updates to any aspect of the website, including buttons, text, content, photos, and every other element.

We take care of both the backend and frontend work to set up your website. Once it’s ready, all you need to do is edit the text, upload photos, and more. We provide a highly detailed instructional video that guides you through these steps, along with excellent resources on where to find high-quality free photos for your use. This ensures you have the knowledge and tools to easily manage and personalize your website content.

No rush at all! You don’t need to have your website content ready right away. You can update and change the content on your website at your own pace. We’ll provide guidance on how to upload and modify content, and you won’t need any knowledge of coding. Take your time, and when you’re ready, you can easily manage the content on your website.

We don’t offer long-term support for free. However, unless you’re developing something highly complex, you likely won’t need our ongoing support. We’ll empower you with the skills to make edits to your website on your own, eliminating the need to hire another web developer. WordPress is user-friendly, and we’ll provide you with the necessary training to easily manage your own website.
