Domain registration is not included. If you do not already own a domain, one will need to be purchased separately. Domain pricing varies by registrar and availability — typically $10–$20/year for standard extensions, though premium or high-demand domains may cost more.
Third-party services such as custom business email inboxes, e-commerce platforms, payment processing, premium plugins, or specialized integrations may incur additional costs outside of QC Webworks’ control. We will always discuss any additional costs with you before moving forward.

Questions about the free website offer.
Is the website really free?
Yes. There is no upfront design or development fee. We build your custom 2-page website at no charge. You only pay the $179 monthly subscription, which covers hosting, maintenance, security, backups, and support. The site is yours to use for as long as you subscribe.
What happens after 12 months?
After your initial 12-month commitment, your subscription continues month-to-month at the same $179 rate. You can cancel anytime after the first year with no penalty. Many clients upgrade to expanded sites or higher-tier care plans as their business grows.
What if I want to cancel early?
We understand plans change. Early termination within the first 12 months incurs a flat $999 fee. This covers the cost of the custom design and development work that was provided at no upfront charge.
Do I own my website?
You own all your content — text, images, and branding. The website is hosted and maintained on our managed infrastructure. If you cancel after the 12-month period, we can export your content and help you transition to another host.
What does a 2-page website include?
A homepage designed around your business, services, and calls to action, plus a second page of your choice — typically a contact page, about page, or services page. Both pages are custom-designed, mobile-responsive, and optimized for search engines.
Can I add more pages later?
Absolutely. Additional pages can be added at any time as a one-time build, or you can upgrade to a full-service plan. Most businesses that start with 2 pages expand within the first year as they see results.
How long does it take to launch?
Most free website builds launch within two weeks of our initial call. We handle everything — design, development, content placement, and SEO setup. You review the site before it goes live and we make revisions until you are happy.
Who is this for?
This program is designed for Quad Cities small businesses that need a professional web presence but do not want to pay thousands upfront. Restaurants, contractors, salons, service providers, retail shops — if you are a local business without a website (or stuck with a bad one), this is built for you.
What if I do not have a domain name?
No problem — we can help you find and register one. Domain registration is handled separately and is not included in the $179 monthly subscription. Standard domains typically cost $10–$20 per year, though pricing depends on the registrar and availability. Premium or high-demand domain names may cost more.
Are there any additional costs I should know about?
The $179/month covers your website design, hosting, maintenance, and support. However, some businesses need third-party services that carry their own costs — things like custom business email inboxes (e.g. you@yourbusiness.com), e-commerce or payment processing platforms, premium plugins, or specialized integrations. These are priced by the providers themselves and are outside of our control. We will always be transparent about any additional costs before anything is added to your site.
