Free Website Builder With Custom Domain | DeGenito.Ai
DeGenito.Ai builds small businesses a professional website on a custom domain at zero cost — and that includes hosting, SEO setup, and AI search optimization. This is not a trial. There are no hidden fees after 30 days. We build your site, connect it to your domain, and get it ranking on Google so your phone actually rings.
This service is built specifically for contractors, local service businesses, and small business owners who are tired of paying $200–$500/month for a website that doesn't generate leads. If you're in construction, trades, landscaping, or any other local service field, this is built for you.
Most "free" website builders charge you the moment you want a real domain name, remove ads, or go live with more than one page. DeGenito.Ai gives you a fully functional business site on your own custom domain — genuinely free, with SEO included.
What's Included in Your Free Website
When we say free, we mean a complete, production-ready website — not a stripped-down template with our logo slapped in the footer.
Here's exactly what you get:
This is the same foundational setup that agencies charge $2,000–$5,000 for upfront, plus $150–$300/month in retainer fees. We do it free because our model is built around long-term organic growth partnerships.

How It Works — 4 Steps From Zero to Live Site
Getting your website built and live is faster than most people expect. Here's the process:
Have your logo, a few photos of your work, and a list of your top 5 services ready before your intake call. It cuts the build timeline by 2–3 days and makes your site look significantly more credible to visitors.
Pricing and Cost Breakdown
The website build is free. Full stop. But here's a transparent look at what does and doesn't cost money so there are zero surprises.
| Item | Cost | Who Pays |
|---|---|---|
| Website design and development | $0 | DeGenito.Ai covers this |
| On-page SEO setup | $0 | DeGenito.Ai covers this |
| Hosting (first 12 months) | $0 | DeGenito.Ai covers this |
| Google Business Profile setup | $0 | DeGenito.Ai covers this |
| Custom domain registration | $10–$15/year | You (you own it) |
| Ongoing SEO content (optional) | $299–$599/month | Optional paid add-on |
| Competitor analysis reports (optional) | $199/month | Optional paid add-on |
What Affects Whether You Need Paid Add-Ons
If your market is low-competition — a niche trade in a smaller city — the free site alone may rank well enough to generate consistent leads within 3–6 months. If you're a general contractor competing in a large metro like Dallas or Chicago, you'll likely need ongoing content and SEO work to move past established competitors. We're upfront about this in your intake review.
DeGenito.Ai is based in Sheridan, WY, but we work with contractors and local businesses across the U.S. Your location doesn't limit what we can build or rank for you.
Why Choose DeGenito.Ai Over Other Free Website Builders
There are dozens of platforms that advertise a "free website builder with custom domain." Most of them aren't actually free once you need anything real. Here's how we're different.
1. We Build It For You — You Don't Touch a Single Template
Wix, Squarespace, and Weebly give you a drag-and-drop editor and call it a free website builder. You still have to design, write, and structure everything yourself — and pay $13–$25/month the moment you want a custom domain. DeGenito.Ai's team builds the entire site for you. You don't need to know anything about web design.
2. SEO Is Baked In From the Start — Not an Add-On
Most free website builders give you a functional site with zero SEO consideration. We structure every page with proper heading hierarchy, keyword-targeted content, and technical SEO fundamentals. Sites we launch typically start receiving organic traffic within 60–90 days.
3. AI Search Visibility Is Part of the Build
This is something almost no other free website builder or contractor web design agency offers. We structure your content so AI systems like ChatGPT and Perplexity surface your business when someone asks "best [your trade] in [your city]." This is not a future feature — it's built into every site we launch.
4. You Own Everything
Your domain, your content, your Google Business Profile — all in your name, under your control. If you ever want to move to a different host or work with a different agency, you take everything with you. We don't believe in lock-in.
Watch out for "free website builder" offers that register the domain in the builder's name instead of yours. If the company goes under or changes its terms, you can lose your domain — and years of SEO authority built on it. Always verify that domain ownership transfers to you.
Built for Contractors and Local Service Businesses
Our contractor website design approach is specific to trades and local service businesses — not generic templates reused across every industry. A roofing company in Billings, MT has different local SEO needs than a plumber in Atlanta. We account for that from the first page we write.
Our construction website design work includes service pages for each trade, location-specific landing pages when relevant, and project gallery sections that showcase real work. This specificity is what separates a site that ranks from one that just exists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the custom domain actually free, or do I have to pay for it eventually? A: The domain registration itself — typically $10–$15/year — is a direct cost between you and a registrar like Namecheap or GoDaddy. We don't mark it up or charge for it. Everything else, including hosting and the build, is free through DeGenito.Ai. Q: How long does it take to get my website live? A: Most sites go live within 7–10 business days of your intake form submission. Complex sites with many service pages or multiple locations may take up to 14 business days. Q: Will my site actually rank on Google, or just exist? A: We build for ranking from day one — not just existence. Every page has keyword-targeted content, proper meta tags, and a structured internal linking setup. Most clients see their first organic search traffic within 60–90 days of launch. Competitive markets may take 4–6 months to see significant volume. Q: What happens if I want to move my website to a different host later? A: You own your domain and your content. If you want to migrate to a different platform or host, we'll provide your site files and any assets needed. There's no lock-in contract. Q: Do I need to already have a domain name? A: No. If you don't have one yet, we'll walk you through registering one during the intake process. We recommend registering it yourself directly through Namecheap or Google Domains so it's in your name from the start. Q: What makes this different from using Wix or Squarespace for free? A: Wix and Squarespace's free plans don't allow custom domains — you get a subdomain like yourbusiness.wixsite.com. Custom domains on those platforms require paid plans starting at $13–$17/month. DeGenito.Ai builds and hosts your site on your own domain at no charge, and includes SEO work that those platforms don't provide.---
