Affiliate Program

Earn $50 per person you recommend whose website we build.

You’d be hard pressed to find a person who wouldn’t like to get a professional website built for them—and particularly when the development work is done free!

Our free-website program is one of the easiest and most lucrative affiliate services to promote, with the highest conversion rates in the industry.

That’s right — we’ve see our affiliates earn considerably more affiliate revenue than with paid services like Wix and Squarespace.

We've run the numbers.

How can we run an affiliate program for a free service?

We’ve run the numbers and the initial investment of building someone a beautiful website for free is a great way for us to showcase what we’re all about and earn paying clients further down the line. About 18% of those we build free websites for go on to hire us for larger paid projects further down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions

You earn a commission every time a website visitor you send to us becomes a “client.” Here’s what that means:

1.) Using your affiliate link, you’ll send people to our website. They will then apply to our free-website program. 

2.) If they’re accepted to our free-website program (as most will be), we’ll ask them to sign up for web hosting as a first step.

3.) When they sign up for web hosting, they become a “client” and you receive the commission.*

*This commission is paid out assuming the person doesn’t cancel in the first 45 days, which is very rare.

We have conversion rates that blow out of the water other website-building services. On average, here are the numbers we’ve seen from affiliate partners who send high quality traffic:

% of website visitors who become applicants by applying to our free-website program: 40%

% of applicants we accept to our free-website program from an affiliate link: 60%

% of accepted applicants who sign up for web hosting (thereby earning you a commission): 40%

We encourage you to test out these conversion rates in comparison to Wix, Squarespace, etc. We’ve seen repeatedly that we’re able to earn our affiliates considerably more than what they were getting with other companies who provide comparable website-building services but for a fee.

There is no limit, no. 

You can promote the link on your blog, website, social media, email, YouTube, LinkedIn, among your clients, friends, etc. So long as you’re not doing anything against the Affiliate Program’s terms and conditions (spamming people, misrepresenting your relationship with us, competing against us, etc), you’re welcome to share or publish your affiliate link as widely as you like. 

You earn $50 USD for every person you send our way whose website we build.

If you’re doing a high monthly volume, we can discuss a higher commission rate for you.

We pay out to our affiliate partners on the first of every month for referrals for which 45 days has elapsed since the customer signed up with web hosting.

In other words, let’s say you refer someone on August 10th whose website application we accept. They then sign up for web hosting on August 12th to get the process started with us. Assuming that customer doesn’t cancel their web hosting within 45 days, you’ll receive a payout for $50 on October 1st.
