You've started a business. Now it needs somewhere to point people.
Before the logo, before the cards, before the shop: people need somewhere to check that you are real, see what you charge, and get hold of you. That is what this makes, and it makes it today.
The first thing customers do is look you up
A WhatsApp number and an Instagram page get you started, but neither answers the questions a customer has before spending money — what exactly do you do, what does it cost, where are you, and are you still trading.
A page with your services, your prices and your address answers all four without you typing a reply.
You don't need to know what you want yet
You do not have to choose a template, a layout or a colour scheme. Describe the business and Ivy chooses a design that suits it and writes the copy to match. Read it, and change what does not sound like you.
It is free to do this. You can draft the whole thing, sit with it for a week, and decide later — you only pay when you publish.
Building and previewing is free with no account and no card, and a published site stays live free for its first 14 days. After that it is KSh 500 a month, which includes hosting and a large monthly allowance of AI edits so you can change anything yourself.
It grows with the business
Add a service when you add one. Put the prices up when you put them up. Add photographs when you have better ones than the stock ones we started you with. None of that costs anything or needs a phone call.
When you are ready for your own name, a .co.ke or a .com can be registered and pointed at it without rebuilding anything.
Questions
I don't have photos yet. Is that a problem?
No. Every draft comes with free stock photographs chosen for your kind of business, and you can swap any of them for your own the moment you have them.
I'm not registered yet. Can I still publish?
Yes. Nothing here requires a registration certificate. Put up what is true today and change it as things become true.
What does it actually cost to start?
Nothing to build and preview. KSh 500 a month once you want it live, paid with M-Pesa, cancellable whenever.
Try it before you decide anything.
Building and previewing a whole site is free, with no account and no card until you publish.
