How Our Free Website Grant Will Work

The GoVisible Web Community Grant will give one small business a month a complete website, free. It is the same 5-page Starter build paying clients get, with 12 months of Site Care. Applications are not open yet. We're finishing our client agreement first, and the grant opens once it is ready.

Want to hear the day it opens? Email [email protected] and you'll be first to know.

What does the free website include?

Every grant site gets the same build as a paying Starter client:

• A custom 5-page Starter website, worth $1,497.
• A mobile-first, professional design.
• A contact form connected to your email.
• One round of revisions before launch.
• 12 months of Site Care, double what a paid build includes.
• Your own domain and every file, yours to keep.

After the 12 months, Site Care carries on at $89 a month. You can end it with 30 days' notice and keep the site either way.

Who is the grant for?

A business that needs to be found online but can't justify the cost right now. We pick based on need and fit, not on who writes the most polished application.

Maybe you're a year into a bakery that is finally getting regulars, but every spare dollar goes back into the ovens. Maybe you took over a family business with a website nobody has touched in years. Maybe it has just been a hard year, and a $1,497 bill isn't happening.

How will you apply?

There won't be a long form. You'll tell us your business, your city and your story in a few sentences on our Community Giving page. If you're picked, we start your free preview within 48 hours, the same as for any client.

Why would a business give away a website?

Because the businesses that gain most from being found online are often the ones that can least afford it. And because it's good for us too. We'll show your finished site in our marketing, with your business name, a screenshot and a link. That is free visibility for you as well as for us. If you'd rather not be featured, say so when you apply.

There's no payment and no obligation to buy anything afterward.

Is there help for nonprofits?

Yes. Registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits get 40% off any plan. Like the grant, that application opens once our client agreement is ready. Details are on our Community Giving page.

Common questions

How GoVisible Web does it differently

A grant site isn't a stripped-down version of our work. It is the same Starter build, the same research into your local competitors and the same checks before launch. It also gets the same groundwork for Google and AI assistants as every site we build. If you'd rather not wait for the grant, you can see a free preview of your own site today.

• You see your own site free in 48 hours, before you pay. No card and no obligation.
• We study five of your local competitors in your trade before we write a word.
• Every site is set up so Google, Bing and AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok can read your business details.
• Every page, fact and phone number is checked before you see it.
• Prices are published, from $1,497 to $5,497. Every plan includes 6 months of Site Care, then $89 a month.
• You own your domain, your words and your code. If you ever leave, every file is yours within 5 business days.

Free previews are available now, and full builds start in January 2027. See what each plan includes, or ask for your free preview.
