Free website build
Accepted projects do not pay CraftDigitally a website build fee. Domain, hosting and any optional third-party purchase remain outside that build.
Questions answered plainly
Free Website Program FAQs
These answers explain the Free SEO-Ready Website Program, client ownership, hosting referrals, industry keyword optimisation and the 40-check handover.
The offer
Yes. CraftDigitally does not charge a website build fee for accepted projects. You still pay the provider for your domain and hosting.
Eligibility
The programme covers simple business websites. Projects needing ecommerce, memberships, booking engines, multiple languages or custom software need a separate scope.
A working website usually needs an audit or focused improvement instead of a rebuild. Start with the free technical SEO audit.
Applications can be submitted from outside Ahmedabad. Availability outside India depends on the project, account setup and current programme capacity, so the team confirms this during review.
Hosting and domain
A WordPress website needs a domain and hosting account. You open and own those accounts, and CraftDigitally may earn a referral commission from an approved hosting partner.
Sometimes. We first check whether the hosting meets the programme's security, performance, backup and WordPress requirements.
No. You can apply before buying a domain. If accepted, we provide guidance while you register it in your own name.
Process and timing
Timing depends on capacity and how quickly you supply approved business information, text and images. Your acceptance message confirms the current target.
No. We guide you through the required accounts, collect your business information and provide a recorded handover for editing the site.
The build pauses until the required material arrives. Projects may close after the agreed inactivity period so capacity remains available.
Ownership and control
You do. The domain, hosting, WordPress, Google Search Console and Google Analytics accounts stay under your control.
Yes. You receive WordPress administrator access, a recorded walkthrough and a written editing guide at handover.
Yes. A small credit is optional and you may remove it.
After launch
The programme includes a short window for fixing build errors caused by CraftDigitally. Ongoing maintenance and SEO are separate services.
SEO
No one can guarantee rankings. We build the technical and on-page foundations, map relevant industry keywords and show you the completed checks. Competition, content, authority and time still affect results.
It records all 40 technical checks, their result and the evidence used. You receive it with the completed website.
Three details to understand before applying
The programme separates the free website build, the client's provider costs and the evidence supplied at handover.
SEO-ready foundations
Core pages receive industry keyword mapping and on-page optimisation. Forty technical checks document the launch condition without promising rankings.
Client ownership
The client owns the domain, hosting, WordPress, Search Console and Analytics access. CraftDigitally access ends after handover unless support is agreed.
Read the answers against your own project requirements. A simple service website can fit the programme while an ecommerce store, membership platform or custom booking system requires a separate scope.
When an answer depends on an unresolved provider, timing or capacity detail, the acceptance message must supply the current fact before the client is asked to act.
The FAQ explains the standard programme rather than a private project agreement. An accepted scope should identify the pages, client inputs and account steps that apply to that business.
Search-ready foundations and keyword optimisation are launch preparation. Continued visibility still needs accurate updates, useful content, local profile activity and maintenance after handover.
If a business already owns a functioning website, the free technical SEO audit can identify whether repair is more practical than rebuilding it.
Applicants should use the programme terms for ownership and responsibility details. The inclusion page provides the complete technical standard used for the delivered website.
