Questions about Sitefront

Sitefront builds and hosts a website for your business for €120 a year, and you can change it yourself at any time. Below are short, straight answers to the questions people ask most. If yours isn't here, get in touch.

Founding offer

What is the founding offer?

The first 50 businesses to go live on the yearly plan pay €60 a year instead of €120, for as long as they stay with us. A free .com for the first year is included, as on the standard yearly plan. The offer ends on 28 February 2027, or sooner if the places go.

Getting started

Do I need any technical skills?

None. If you can send a text message, you can do this. You answer a few simple questions about your business, we build the site, and you change anything by clicking on it or asking in plain English.

What if I don't like what it writes?

Change any word you like, or ask for a different tone. You can switch between six designs and set your own colour in a click.

Will it suit my kind of business?

It’s made for local businesses: trades, salons, cafés, clinics, studios, shops and professional services. If customers find you nearby and get in touch to book or ask for a price, it will suit you well.

Prices and payment

What does it cost?

Building and previewing is free. To put your site live it’s €120 a year or €12 a month, with everything included. If it isn’t right for you, you get your money back within 14 days.

Is there a contract?

No. Pay monthly and stop whenever you like.

What happens if I cancel?

Your website stays live until the end of the period you've paid for, then goes offline. There's no cancellation fee, and your content is kept so you can come back.

Domains

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Every site starts on a free sitefront.ie address. If you already own a .ie or .com you can connect it from your dashboard. We don't register .ie names ourselves, but you can get one cheaply from MyHost (myhost.ie) and connect it free.

Do I get a free domain?

Yes, on the yearly plan we register a standard .com for you and connect it, free for the first year. After that, renewing it through us is €25 a year, added to your plan's renewal, and we email you 30 days before. It's registered in your name, so it's yours, and you can move it elsewhere any time.

Your website

Is the writing done by AI?

The first draft is written by AI from your answers, then it's yours to check and change. It's set up not to invent reviews, awards or claims, and you have the final say on every word.

Can I add my own photos and logo?

Yes, and we recommend it. Upload them from your phone or computer, or choose from our photo library until you have your own.

Will it work on phones?

Yes. Every design is built for phones first, with a tap-to-call button that stays on screen.

Will my website show up on Google?

Every site is set up the way Google reads local businesses, with your services, areas and contact details in place. Nobody can promise a ranking, but a clear, fast site with your own domain gives you the best start.

Ownership

Who owns my website content?

You do. Your words, photos and logo belong to you, and we only use them to run your website.

Who owns my domain?

You do. Any domain we register for you is registered in your name, and you can move it to another registrar whenever you like using the transfer code in your dashboard.

Build your website free, pay only when it goes live.
