$99 gets you a real, live website — here's every single thing that includes
Most small business owners have heard a version of this before: a "cheap website setup" that turns out to be a stripped-down template with hidden fees, a confusing control panel, and a support ticket that goes nowhere. The Hands Free Sites launch special is not that. It's a $99 one-time setup fee — down from the $299 standard price that takes effect after the launch window closes — and it covers a full, professional website built and launched for your business. No asterisks. No tiers. Here's exactly what you're buying.
What the $99 Setup Fee Actually Covers
A Complete, Custom Website — Built for You
When you sign up during the launch window, Hands Free Sites builds your website from scratch. You don't open a drag-and-drop builder. You don't pick from seventeen confusing templates. You don't spend ten evenings of your personal time trying to figure out why your logo looks blurry on mobile. You fill out a short intake form about your business, and the site gets built for you.
The result is a real, professional website — the kind that looks like you paid a designer a couple thousand dollars. You can see live examples right now: a handyman site, a bakery site, a gym site, a real estate site, and more at the full showcase. These aren't mockups — they're live sites on real hosting, the same type of site that gets built for every customer.
Domain Handling
Getting a domain name sounds simple until you're staring at a registrar dashboard at 11pm trying to remember what a CNAME record is. Hands Free Sites handles all of that. Your domain gets pointed correctly, your DNS is configured, and everything is wired together properly before you ever see the finished product.
SSL Certificate — Included and Maintained Forever
Every site launched through Hands Free Sites comes with a valid SSL certificate — that's the padlock icon in the browser that tells visitors (and Google) your site is secure. SSL certificates expire on a schedule, and on most platforms it's your job to renew them. Not here. Renewal is handled silently, automatically, forever. You will never get an email warning you that your SSL expired. It just doesn't happen.
Real Hosting on AWS Infrastructure
Your site is hosted on Amazon Web Services — the same infrastructure that powers a significant portion of the internet. This isn't shared hosting on an overloaded server. It's scalable, fast, and reliable. Hands Free Sites passes the AWS hosting cost through to you at cost, which is why the ongoing fee is $10 per month plus a small hosting pass-through — typically $1–3 per month on top of that, so most customers pay $11–13/month total. No surprise renewals. No price that triples in year two.
Automatic Weekly Blog Content
This is the feature that quietly does the most work over time. Every week, Hands Free Sites automatically publishes a fresh blog post to your site — relevant to your industry, your services, your location. You don't write it. You don't approve it. You don't log in to post it. It just appears.
Why does that matter? Because Google rewards sites that publish fresh, relevant content consistently. And because a potential customer who lands on your site and sees a blog with thirty posts about your trade or service immediately thinks: this business is real, active, and knows what they're doing. That credibility compounds month after month without you lifting a finger. It's one of the most underrated parts of the hands free sites launch price — the ongoing value that keeps building after your one-time setup.
Security Patches and Maintenance — Forever
Websites don't stay secure by accident. Platforms need updates. Vulnerabilities get patched. Hosting configurations sometimes need adjustment. On most website platforms — even the DIY ones — this is quietly your problem. With Hands Free Sites, it's never your problem. Security maintenance happens behind the scenes, indefinitely, as part of the service. You don't get a notification about it. You don't need to. It's just handled.
Support When You Need It
Got a question? Need to update your hours, add a service, or change a phone number? Support tickets are included. You reach out, the change gets made. You're not watching a YouTube tutorial to figure out how to edit a text block.
The Launch Window: Why $99 and Why It Ends
The $99 website setup price exists because Hands Free Sites is in its public launch window right now, in 2026, and the goal is to get real sites live for real businesses so the product can prove itself. Once that window closes, the setup fee moves to $299 — which is still a fraction of what a freelance web designer charges (typically $2,000–5,000 for a comparable site, with a timeline of six weeks or more). But $99 is meaningfully better than $299, and there's no manufactured urgency here — no fake countdown timer, no "ends at midnight tonight." The launch window is just finite. When it's done, the price goes up, and that's that.
If you've been sitting on the idea of getting a real website — because you didn't want to spend $2,000, or because you tried Wix or Squarespace and gave up, or because you've been making do with a Facebook page — the launch special is the lowest-friction moment to actually do it. The setup is $99. You could be live in as little as one day. And from that point forward, the site runs itself.
What You're Not Paying For (Ever)
A few things worth stating plainly, because the web industry has trained small business owners to expect hidden costs:
- No upsells after signup
- No "premium" tier required to unlock basic features
- No renewal price that jumps after year one
- No separate charge for SSL, security, or blog content
- No hourly billing if you need a small update
The $99 setup and $10+/mo platform fee is the whole picture. What you see is what you pay.
A Website Should Be a Service, Not a Project
The philosophy behind Hands Free Sites is simple: a small business owner shouldn't need to become a part-time web administrator just to have a professional online presence. You bought a bakery to bake, or a gym to train clients, or a handyman business to fix things — not to manage hosting dashboards and worry about SSL renewals. The $99 launch special is the entry point into a service that handles all of that permanently, for a monthly cost that's less than most streaming subscriptions.
If you want to see what your site could look like before you commit, the showcase at handsfreesites.com has live examples across several industries. And when you're ready to get your own site live — potentially within 24 hours — head to handsfreesites.com and sign up while the $99 launch price is still available. It goes to $299 after launch, and this window won't stay open forever.
