How Your Free Build Works: Your Full Site, Live and Free

The short version

When you submit your business details, we build your entire site — every page you selected, not just the homepage — and put it live on a free siteharbor.app address. Click any page tab and it works: same design, same nav, same fonts and colors across the whole thing.

This means:

• Free build = your full site, live. Every page you picked is built, deployed, and clickable on a real link. The nav links resolve to real pages, not 404s.
• You pay nothing to see it. No credit card, no account hoops. It carries a small badge and stays off Google for now while you decide.

Why we build the whole thing up front

Simple: we'd rather put the real thing in front of you than ask you to imagine it.

Your homepage is where most of the design decisions live — color palette, typography, layout, image treatment — but the only way to know your site is right is to walk every page. So we build all of it, put it live, and hand you the link. No guessing, no "trust us, the other pages will match."

If you like it, you keep it. If you don't, you close the tab and you've spent nothing.

What we built it from

Since Hands Free Sites builds you a brand-new site (not redesigning an existing one), the preview is generated entirely from what you gave us on the submit form:

• Business name and description — drive the headline, the hero copy, and the "about" section
• Site type (storefront, service business, local business, portfolio, etc.) — drives the page structure and which sections appear
• Services and differentiators — populate the "what we do" and "why choose us" sections
• Design preferences (vibe, color hints, primary action) — drive the visual feel and the main call-to-action
• Photos (if you uploaded any) — used as the hero image and section backgrounds

If a section was sparse on details you gave us, we'll leave a placeholder rather than make something up. The preview-ready email you received calls out any placeholders we left so you know where to focus your edits.

The two rungs after your free build

There's no single "pay to go live" gate — your site is already live and free. From there it's a ladder you climb in order:

1. Keep it — $10–12/mo. Add a card to keep your site live past the first seven days. This covers hosting, SSL, and the global CDN. The site stays on its siteharbor.app address with the small badge.
2. Go Branded: $99, once. When you're ready, publish for good: the badge comes off, you get found on Google, free branded email is wired up (you@yourdomain), your own domain is connected, and it's permanent.

"What happens to the free build after seven days?"

If you haven't added a card, it auto-deletes after seven days. Add a card (we won't charge it) to hold your spot while you decide, or move straight to the $10–12/mo Keep plan to keep it live for good.

"It doesn't quite look like what I had in mind."

That's expected on a first draft, especially if the description you gave us was short. Two options:

1. Reply to the build-ready email. During our launch we offer free, hands-on design help — tell us what to change and we'll redo it for you.
2. Just ask for the change. Describe what you want — rewrite copy, swap colors, change images, restructure a section — and you get a preview before anything goes live. Every site gets 5 free AI changes to start, then it's $1 per change.
