One free website a month. The board picks which one.
Put a business on the board: yours, or the one down the road that does good work and has no website to show for it, as long as its owner has said yes. Anybody can vote, nobody needs an account, and the entry with the most votes when the clock runs out is the one we build. The build is free. Hosting is $35 a month, and that is the whole of it.
Next drawing Thursday, October 15, nine in the morning Central.
Can't wait for a vote? There is a way to buy one now, and it is the better deal if the site is already overdue.
What a winner actually gets
- Single Page website, built
- $2,900Free
- Hosting Only, required for 12 months
- $35/mo
- Everything else
- Nothing
$420 over the first year, which is what the hosting costs and no more. No setup fee, nothing up front, and no hours of free changes: Hosting Only has none, and the terms below say so plainly.
How it works.
It is a request board, the kind software teams use to decide what to build next, except what gets built is somebody's website and the people voting are whoever they can get to care.
- 01
Somebody puts a business up
Yours, or one whose owner has said yes to being entered. A name for the board, a line on what they do, and why this one. A person reads every entry before it appears, so nothing lands on the board unread.
- 02
People vote, once a day
No account, no email, no sign-up. One vote a day each, spent on whichever business you like, and you can back the same one again tomorrow. The link on every card is the one to send round.
- 03
The third Thursday, the top one wins
On the third Thursday of every month, at nine in the morning, we take the entry with the most votes, call them, and start. It comes off the board, and every other count goes back to zero for the next month.
- 04
It gets built properly
The same standard as a site anybody pays for: designed for the business, fast on a phone, and passing all nine of the AI-friendly checks on the day it launches. Not a template with a logo dropped in.
The board.
Ordered by votes. Press the arrow to back one, open a card to send it to somebody else, and come back tomorrow for another vote.
Nobody is on the board yet.
The first entry has an easy month of it. Put a business up and it is the one at the top until somebody else arrives.
Sign in with your email
No password, and nothing to remember. We send a six digit code, you type it back, and that is it.
- Two votes a day instead of one
- Say something on an entry, so a business sees who turned up for it
- Nothing to remember: no password, and the code is only ever needed once per browser
Your address is how we tell you that you won and nothing else, unless you tick the box. We never sell it and never pass it on.
Put a business on the board.
It does not have to be yours, but the owner has to have said yes. Some of the best entries will be the ones nobody would put up for themselves: the shop that has been there thirty years, the charity running on somebody's personal email, the tradesman whose whole marketing is a magnet on the truck. Ask them, then enter them.
The reason is the hosting. Winning commits that business to $35 a month for 12 months, and that is not a thing anybody can sign somebody else up for.
Write the pitch for the person deciding whether to vote, not for us. What the business is, what is in its way, and what a website would change.
If it wins, what you are agreeing to
The build is free and the hosting is not. It is $35 a month with us for the first 12 months, with no included hours, and the footer carries our mark. The terms in full.
Can't wait? Buy one now.
A vote takes a month and might not land. The standing small business offer takes a phone call, and it is a bigger site than the one being given away: the Essential build, up to up to five pages, on the Standard plan with an hour of changes every month and your own back office.
One flat $149 a month on a 24 month hosting agreement. Nothing due up front, and nothing invoiced until the site is live. The build is the difference: the plan alone is the same price.
The small business offer
$149/month
- Essential website, $5,900 on the list, included
- One hour of changes every month
- Your own back office, and a reply within a business day
- Nothing due up front
Cancelling inside the term does not cancel the remaining payments. Every term is on the offer page.
The fine print, all of it.
Nine numbered terms, what is and is not in the Single Page build, and the questions a free website raises. Read it before you enter, not in month two.
Know a business that should be on this board?
Ask the owner, then put them up. It takes two minutes, the entry costs them nothing, and the worst case is that a business that has never had a website finds out some of its customers would vote for one.
