Free forever · No credit card · Live in 60 seconds
What's included — free
A real website. Not a placeholder.
The free plan isn't a stripped-down demo. It's a fully working website with everything a small business actually needs to get found and get contacted.
Live website on yourname.artefact.bz
Your site is publicly accessible from day one on a clean artefact.bz subdomain — no extra setup, no DNS headaches.
AI-generated from your description
Describe your business in plain English and get a fully designed, professional site in under 60 seconds.
Professional hosting included
No hosting account to set up, no servers to manage. Artefact hosts your site on fast, reliable infrastructure for free.
Contact form + email notifications
Every site includes a working contact form. Customer enquiries land in your inbox — no third-party form tool needed.
SEO meta tags + structured data
Title tags, meta descriptions, and structured data are generated automatically so Google can find and index your site.
Mobile-responsive design
Your site looks great on every device. No extra work — the AI builds with mobile-first layouts from the start.
Why free?
Every business deserves a real website.
A lot of small businesses don't have a website not because they don't want one — it's because the path to getting one is expensive, technical, or just takes too long. A designer quotes $2,000. Wix costs $16/mo after a confusing setup. WordPress needs a developer.
Artefact's free plan exists so that excuse disappears. You can have a live, professional website today — at zero cost — without touching a line of code or choosing from 800 templates.
The free plan has real limits: 5 AI edits per month, and your site lives on an artefact.bz subdomain instead of a custom domain. That's a fair trade. When you grow and want yourname.com, upgrade to Core at $18/mo.

Questions about the free plan
Is Artefact really free forever?
Yes. The free plan is not a trial — there's no credit card, no expiry date, and no forced upgrade. Your site stays live on your artefact.bz subdomain indefinitely. The only limitations are the edit count (5 AI edits/month) and the subdomain. Upgrade when and if you need more.
What happens when I upgrade?
Upgrading to Core ($18/mo) unlocks a custom domain (yourbusiness.com), 50 AI edits per month, and priority support. Your existing site and content stay exactly as they are — you're just adding capabilities, not starting over.
Will my free site appear on Google?
Yes. Every Artefact site — including free plan sites — includes SEO meta tags, Open Graph data, and semantic HTML markup. These are the building blocks Google needs to index your site. Ranking depends on competition and content, but you start with the right foundations in place.
Can I keep my free site if I cancel a paid plan?
Yes. If you cancel a Core or Pro plan, your site downgrades to the free tier — it stays live on your artefact.bz subdomain with free plan limits. Your content is never deleted. If you connected a custom domain on a paid plan, it will stop pointing to your site after cancellation.
