Apply for Your Free Website

Your domain. Our help with the details.

Already own a domain? Keep it with your registrar and we’ll help connect it. Need one? FourElm can help select, purchase, register, configure, and manage a domain on your behalf, including renewals during service.

Your business owns the domain; FourElm acts as technical administrator. Where supported, your business is recorded as the registrant. Registration and renewal fees are separate unless agreed otherwise, and requested names are subject to availability.

After the initial service period, request independent access, transfer assistance, DNS changes, or continued management by agreement. Domain ownership and transfer rights remain separate from the website commitment; applicable registrar policies, ICANN requirements, and legally or contractually required earlier transfers still apply.

Basic email DNS assistance is available. Email subscriptions and ongoing mailbox management are not included.

19 questions

Is the website really free?

Yes. FourElm builds your standard business website without an upfront website creation fee. Hosting and maintenance cost $35/month with a 12-month initial commitment. Applications are subject to review and approval.

What’s included in the $35/month plan?

A custom, mobile-friendly website with up to three standard pages, a basic contact form, click-to-call and email links, business information, social links, initial deployment, DNS setup, SSL, hosting, basic on-page SEO, routine technical maintenance, and reasonable minor updates to existing content.

Why is there a 12-month commitment?

Building a professional website requires upfront development work. The initial 12-month commitment allows FourElm to offer website creation without charging an upfront build fee. The first-year hosting commitment is $420, paid monthly.

What happens after 12 months?

Your hosting continues at $35/month on a month-to-month basis unless you cancel or agree to a different arrangement.

Can I take my website somewhere else?

After completing the initial 12-month commitment, you can request a website transfer. FourElm will explain the available transfer options and any applicable assistance costs before proceeding. Domain ownership and transfer rights are separate from the website service commitment.

Do I need to purchase my own domain?

No. FourElm can help select, purchase, register, and manage your domain on your behalf, including DNS setup and renewals. Registration and renewal costs are separate unless otherwise agreed. If you already own a domain, you can keep your existing registrar; no transfer is required. Requested names are subject to availability.

Who owns my domain?

You do. Even when FourElm purchases and manages your domain, it belongs to your business. FourElm is the technical administrator. Where supported, your business is recorded as the registrant with accurate contact information.

Can I transfer my domain to another provider?

Yes. After the initial 12-month website commitment, you can request independent management access, a registrar transfer, DNS changes, or continued FourElm management by agreement. We provide reasonable assistance, subject to registrar policies and ICANN requirements. Earlier transfers will be handled where legally or contractually required. The website commitment does not override your domain ownership or transfer rights.

What happens to my domain if I cancel?

Your domain remains yours. You can arrange a transfer or discuss continued domain management separately. Any remaining website service obligations are governed by your service agreement.

Can I use professional email with my website?

Yes. You can use your domain with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or another provider. FourElm can help configure basic email DNS settings. Email subscriptions, mailbox management, password resets, and ongoing email support are not included.

Can my website connect to scheduling, payments, or other business tools?

Yes, as separately quoted custom work. Examples include Calendly or Square Appointments, Stripe or PayPal payments, HubSpot CRM, online stores, Mailchimp email marketing, advanced forms, quote calculators, customer portals, and workflow automation. These are outside the standard plan. Third-party subscriptions and transaction fees are paid directly to the provider.

Can I add features later?

Absolutely. Start with a professional website and add scheduling, payments, customer tools, or other functionality as your business grows. Custom features and applications are quoted separately.

Can I make changes to my website?

Yes. Reasonable minor updates to existing content are included. Additional pages, major redesigns, substantial content changes, and new functionality may require a separate quote. Unlimited revisions, professional photography, custom logos or brand identity, and advanced SEO campaigns are not included.

Can I have more than three pages?

Yes. The standard plan includes up to three pages. Additional pages can be quoted separately.

Does my website include a blog?

No. Blog creation and ongoing article publishing are not included in the standard plan but can be discussed as custom work.

Will my website appear on Google?

FourElm uses basic search-engine best practices, including page titles, meta descriptions, mobile-friendly layouts, and search-friendly structure. Search rankings, traffic, and placement are not guaranteed.

How long does it take to build a website?

Timelines depend on scope, the information provided, and current availability. FourElm will discuss the expected timeline after reviewing your application.

What if I already have a website?

You can still apply. FourElm will review your existing website and determine whether a replacement fits the standard offer or requires custom work.

Are investor-relations websites included?

No. Public-company and investor-relations websites are specialized, separately scoped services with their existing pricing.

Need Something More?

From scheduling and payment integrations to custom applications and business workflows, FourElm can build solutions tailored to how your business operates.

Custom solutions and investor-relations websites are separately scoped and priced.
