Frequently Asked Questions
The reason we do this is simple: it’s a great way for us to build connections with people who might hire us for larger paid projects. 97.4% of the people for whom we’ve built website for free have been happy with the results, and 10-20% go on to hire us for other paid projects down the line. They might hire us to build more complicated websites, build them an app, or do ongoing development work for them.
To put a website online – 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 with one of the most popular web hosting providers, Bluehost, using our affiliate link. (That affiliate link also has a special discounted rate that we’ve negotiated with Bluehost specifically for our clients.)
When you use our link, we get a commission. This commission is paid to us by Bluehost. You pay nothing extra yourself. Bluehost has a Money-Back Guarantee so if you change your mind (for example, if you start with us and then decide you don’t actually want a website), you can always request a refund from them.
That’s it! We simply recoup some of our costs by receiving the affiliate commission when you sign up for web hosting.
You’ll need to sign up for one of our preferred web hosting companies to get access to our free-website service. With Bluehost, there’s a one-year plan for just $57 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 $60. (You can see some examples of our clients’ websites here.)
We also work with DreamHost, which has a great service as well. When you apply, just indicate that you’d prefer to sign up with DreamHost.
BlueHost is very affordable – just a few dollars per month for the first year – and they generally get great reviews. They’re also officially endorsed as the web host of choice by WordPress. If you change your mind on wanting a website, though, or wish to use a different hosting company, you can get a refund from BlueHost at any point within 30 days.
Since we finish most websites within 12-15 days, you’ll have plenty of time if you change your mind.
You can apply here.
We carefully review every application that comes our way. In reviewing applications, we look for the following characteristics:
- Do we like the concept for the website?
- Is it ethical?
- Does this person want a simple but beautiful website?
- Are they ready to get started soon?
We use WordPress, the most popular content management system for websites. In fact, about 30% of the internet runs on WordPress! It’s the best platform to use for the vast majority of websites (unless you’re looking to build something that’s super complex).
WordPress is free to use, and we’ll be able to load it onto your web hosting platform once you’ve signed up for web hosting.
We build 5-7 page professional WordPress websites with pages like About, Services, Contact, Home, Shop, etc (you can customize these however you wish). You can see some samples of our clients’ websites here: https://thefreewebsiteguys.com/examples/
Nope, definitely not. We walk you through everything you’ll need to do in a clear, step-by-step way. Plus, once we’re done working on your website, we’ll send you a detailed instruction video showing you how to make additional edits and changes to your website so that you won’t ever need to hire a website developer.
Assuming you get back to our emails promptly and don’t request any complex additional features, we aim for a completion time of no more than 3 weeks. If you take longer to think about your content, design, logo, etc., that’s no problem for us and we can work at your pace.
Yes, 100%. Once we’re done working on your website, you’ll delete our user account (which is what gives us access to the back-end of your website) and we’ll have no additional ability to make edits or changes. We will not own your website nor control it in any way.
Nope, there’s no rush.
You’ll be able to update/change the content on your website whenever you like. We’ll show you how to upload and change content so that you can do it at at your own pace once your website is ready. It’s quite easy, and you’ll need no knowledge of coding!
Absolutely. When we finish the website, we’ll send you a detailed video breaking down how to make additional edits yourself (so you don’t need to hire a web developer). You’ll be in full control, in other words, and you’ll have the training you need to continue to make refinements and updates yourself to whatever you wish: the buttons, text, content, photos, and every other element of the website.
We set up the website for you, including doing both backend and frontend work. At that point, all you have to do is to edit the text on your website, upload photos, etc. We send you a very detailed instructional video showing you how to do this, including some great resources for where to find high quality free photos you can use.
