Built for
Who the $10 website is built for
A business whose website's job is to say what you do, what it costs, where you are and when you're open.
Built for
- Shops and restaurants that sell in person, with no cart to watch and no pickup promise to keep.
- A business with no Esplanda register and almost no online orders. The free website goes read-only on an account with no Esplanda register that averages under ten online orders a month across a trailing 90 days, so the $10 site is the one built for you.
- Service businesses: salons, barbershops, clinics, repair shops, trades and professional practices; see service business management software.
- Owners who want an address of their own, alongside their map listing.
Grows when you're ready
- Take orders online: switch on the free online ordering system and the $10 stops. Your domain, pages, catalog and search history stay.
- Run the register: the free POS system costs $0, with the migration, and with it the free website never goes read-only.
- Answer visitors: add the AI chatbot for small business for questions about hours, services and prices.
Questions
Small business website questions owners ask
What do I get for $10 a month?
Hosting, an SSL certificate, DNS and domain handling, your product catalog rendered as web pages, Smart Experience Pages, the on-page SEO engine and a Google Business Profile tie-in. It has no cart and no checkout: it is a maintained web presence for a business that sells in person.
How much does a small business website cost with Esplanda?
The static website is $10 a month, with no setup fee and no contract. The website with online ordering is free, with hosting and SSL, and each online order is 99¢, capped automatically at $299 a month.
Why pay $10 when the website with online ordering is free?
If you would take orders online, take the free website with online ordering: the order fee pays for it. The $10 static website is for a business that has decided to sell in person, with no cart to monitor and no order path to staff. One rule decides it: the free website goes read-only on an account with no Esplanda register that averages under ten online orders a month across a trailing 90 days. If you run the free Esplanda register, the free website costs you nothing and the rule never applies. If you run neither a register nor an order path with Esplanda, the $10 site is the one built for you.
Does the price change later?
In one case, and you see it at signup. If an account runs twelve full months with no online order path and no paid Esplanda line, the price moves to $39 a month at the next renewal, with thirty days' notice. Switching on online ordering at any point replaces the $10 and the $39 with the 99¢ order fee, and taking any paid line keeps the site at $10.
Can I move to the website with online ordering later?
Yes, at any time and in one step. Your domain, pages, catalog and search history stay where they are, and an order path switches on over the top. The $10 charge stops and the 99¢ order fee starts, capped automatically at $299 in a month.
Is there a setup fee or a contract?
No setup fee, no minimum term and no early termination fee, and you can pay $120 a year at the same price if you prefer one invoice. Every paid Esplanda line is available at its published price, and you add one only when you want it.
What happens to my site and my data if I cancel?
You can export all of your data at any time, and your domain is yours: it is released to you on request. There is no minimum term and no early termination fee.
