Free Business Website? Here’s the Catch
A free business website offer deserves a closer look. What does it cost to keep online, who owns it and are changes included? Here’s what to ask, and how our paid monthly service works.
From £39 a month. See your site before you pay anything.
Free to build isn't free to run. So here's our price, up front.
A website has to be hosted, kept secure and looked after, and that costs money every month. We put the price on the page, then design your site, write its pages, host it and keep it up to date.
A website, done for you.
We design it around your business, with a page for each service and town you cover, and 10 years of web design behind it.
Enquiries become jobs.
An enquiry from your site turns into a booked job without you typing it all out twice, or scribbling it on the back of your hand.
Quotes, invoices and payments.
Send the quote, turn it into an invoice when you’re done and get paid by card, all in one spot.
See what the site brings in.
Visitors, phone taps and the searches that found you, all counted. So you know it’s earning its keep.
What to ask a free website offer before you sign up.
Every offer is different. These are the questions worth asking, and our answer to each.

After the website
Free website offers vary, so read the terms of any one before you sign up.
Jobs, quotes, invoices and customers. One app for the lot.
Here’s a week of Northlight Electrical in the app. It sits right next to their website, so nothing goes missing between enquiry and invoice.
Enquiries and jobs
Every enquiry, ready to book in with a tap.
Quotes
Built from your own price list and texted over.
Invoices and payments
Get paid by card from a link. No spelling out sort codes.
Customers
Everyone you work for, and who still owes you.
Need something done? Just ask Kit.
Kit does more than tweak your website. It’s a personal assistant that knows your business from your site and can see your admin, so you always know where things stand.
Your week, in one question.
Ask what’s booked in, what it’s worth, which quotes are still waiting or who needs a reply. Kit works off the same figures as your portal, so you get the answer, not a guess.
Changes, minus the back and forth.
Ask Kit to change existing wording, update your hours or swap a photo. Check the edit, then put it live. Anything that needs new design comes to our team.
Nothing changes without your say-so.
You’ll see the page, the new wording and where it sits before a thing changes. If the site isn’t what Kit expected, it stops and checks with you first.
Everything you get. The shop window and the back office.
Both plans come with the website, the hosting and the whole app. Kitted adds the bits that go out and find you more work.
Two plans to pick from. Your website comes with both.
Core from £39 a month for your website, jobs, quotes and invoices. Kitted from £69 adds Kit, your Google listing, review requests, social posts and a monthly blog. No setup fee, no contract, and you pay nothing until you've seen your site.
Thinking about a free website? Here's what people ask.
Yes. We design your custom website preview, your home page and a service page, from your Facebook page, your existing site or a short questionnaire, before asking for any payment details. You only pay when you're happy with the design and ready to go ahead.Read more: How long until my website is live?
Running a professional website takes fast hosting, an SSL security certificate, domain renewals, platform updates and ongoing changes. Your monthly subscription (£39 a month on Core or £69 on Kitted) covers all the technical running costs and your app access under one predictable bill.Read more: How much does it cost?
No. Kitso has no setup fees and no long-term contracts. You pay month to month, or yearly if you'd rather, and you can cancel at any point without exit penalties. Cancel within 14 days of your first payment and we'll refund it in full.Read more: Is there a contract or a setup fee?
No problem. Just tell us on your preview, and when your site goes live we'll connect your existing domain to it while ownership stays fully with you. It stays registered where it is, so renewing it stays with you too, and we’ll email you the settings your registrar needs. Your portal shows when the connection is ready.Read more: Can I use a domain I already own?
You don't need any technical knowledge. Just link your Facebook page or your current website, or answer a few basic questions about your services. If you've got a logo and project photos, add them too, but you can always add them later.Read more: What do I need to give you?
Just tell us. Use the feedback panel on your preview to say what you'd like changed, from wording and photos to colours and sections, and our design team will change it. Your preview normally stays available for 24 hours. Check the expiry in your portal and contact us if you need longer. You haven't paid a penny at that point, and if it's not for you, there's nothing to cancel.Read more: What if I do not like it?
