How to make a free website for your business
“Free” websites usually come with a catch: an ad, a long address, or a price when you want to change something. Here is what you can get without paying, and where money comes in, so you can choose with open eyes.
Updated 2026-11-09
What is genuinely free
- A Google Business Profile: your business on Google Maps with photos, timings and reviews
- A WhatsApp Business profile and catalogue
- In AppCub: seeing the plan for your website, and starting one of the four ready-made websites (salon, coaching, tiffin service, gym)
- In AppCub: publishing the website at your-name.sites.appcub.ai, for an account that has paid AppCub once
What usually costs money
- Your own domain name (yourname.com), paid every year to a registrar. AppCub websites don't use custom domains.
- A designer's or developer's time
- In AppCub: making a website from your own description and changing it in chat, which uses credits
