Step by step

  1. 01

    Decide what the site has to do

    A page with your name and phone number needs less than a site with services, prices and a contact form. Write down what must be on it before you choose a tool.

  2. 02

    Look at the free versions of other builders

    Builders such as Wix, WordPress.com and Google Sites have free versions. Sites made with them use the builder's address and show its branding. Check their websites for what each one includes today.

  3. 03

    Or try frascati for 3 days

    frascati is a paid product; every plan starts with a free 3-day trial with 20 credits. A card is required. Cancel in the settings before the trial ends and nothing is charged.

  4. 04

    Describe your business

    Write what you do, for whom and where, or paste the address of your current website. The first version takes about two minutes and uses about 3 credits.

  5. 05

    Change it in the chat

    Most changes use less than 1 credit, and fixing an error in the preview is free, up to 10 a day. Every change is saved as a version you can restore.

  6. 06

    Publish, or cancel in time

    One click puts the site online at a frascati address. If frascati is not for you, cancel before the trial ends. Otherwise the plan you chose starts, from $12 a month for Starter.
