How it works

How to build a website with Keepyz, start to finish.

For every step you get what you do, how you do it and why it matters.

You don't need to know how to build websites. You don't need to prepare copy, buy hosting or configure anything.

You build the site, look at it and, if you like it, put it online. Free.

1

Where you work, what you do, what the site is called

What
Your city, your trade or business and the name you want for the site.
How
Three short answers on one screen. Pick the name and we check straight away whether it is available as a Keepyz address.
Why
Your free site gets an address like yourname.keepyz.com. You don't need to buy a domain to start.
2

Your 3 main services

What
The three main things you do. You can add a “from” price if you like.
How
Write them the way a customer would say them: “cut and blow-dry”, “boiler repair”, “probate paperwork”. Concrete services, not slogans.
Why
Each of the three services becomes a full page of the site. So you have a Home, three service pages and a Contact page. 5 real pages.
3

Your business details

What
Business name, address, phone, email, opening hours and, if you have one, VAT number.
How
You enter them once.
Why
Keepyz uses them in the contacts, in the call and WhatsApp buttons, on the map and in the site's details.
4

Tell us about your business

What
We ask you a few questions: how long you've been doing this, who you are, what customers ask for most, what sets you apart.
How
You can type, or answer by speaking into the microphone. You don't need to prepare any text.
Why
Keepyz uses what you tell us to write the site's copy. The result is about your business, not a generic business doing the same job.
5

Choose the look and the colours

What
15 site styles, each with its own fonts, and 18 colour combinations.
How
You look at sites actually built with Keepyz and pick the one you like.
Why
Fonts, colours, proportions and structure are already designed to work together. You don't have to be a designer.
6

See the site before publishing

What
You see the complete, browsable site. Copy, images, pages and menu are already in place.
How
You check it. If you like it, press the button and Keepyz publishes it for free.
Why
No hosting to buy, no files to upload, no servers to set up, no credit card. The site is published at yourname.keepyz.com and can stay online for free.

And then?

And then?

Once published, you log into the Keepyz dashboard and personalise it as much as you like.

You can change:

You can use images from the Keepyz library or upload your own.

Already have copy and photos from your old site? Just use them to personalise the new one.

Changes are unlimited.

Already have a site?

Already have a site?

You can use Keepyz even if you already have a website.

Keepyz does not import or modify the old site.

You build a new one with Keepyz and then replace copy, photos, logo and details with your own content.

When the new site is ready, you decide whether to use it in place of the old one.

The domain

Want your own domain?

The free site uses yourname.keepyz.com.

If you want a domain like yourname.com you can switch to Premium.

Premium costs: €39 a year

Keepyz buys, sets up and connects the domain to the site you created. The cost of the domain is separate.

We add no markup. You simply pay what it costs us.

A .com is roughly €11 a year. Other extensions may cost more or less.

For example: Premium €39 + .com about €11 = about €50 a year.

The shop

Want to sell online?

You can add a shop directly to the site.

With the free plan you can add up to 20 products for the first year.

The customer picks the product, places the order and pays through PayPal. The payment goes directly into your PayPal account.

Keepyz does not collect the money and takes no commission on your sales.

After the first year?

After the first year?

The site stays free.

The shop, however, needs Premium to keep working.

With Premium you can have up to 50 products and keep selling online in the following years.

Bookings

Want to take bookings?

Keepyz can also be used to sell a service instead of a product.

The customer can choose:

and, where set up, pay online.

So you can use Keepyz for:

Products and bookings can live on the same site.

For complex systems such as hotels, rooms, seasonal rates, multiple availabilities or advanced booking engines we build dedicated solutions instead.

It depends on the extension. A .com is roughly €11 a year. Other extensions have different prices.

Can I pick an extension other than .com?

Yes, if available. The price depends on the extension.

Do I have to buy the domain myself?

Languages

In which language can I build the site?

The one you prefer. Keepyz can build sites in English, Italian, French, Spanish and other supported languages.

Can I have two languages on the same site?

No. One Keepyz site = one language. If you want two language versions, you build two separate sites.

Is the site really mine?

You can use the site on the Keepyz platform for free. You can change its content, images and details.

If you want a copy of the files to use outside Keepyz, you buy Export. Export costs €99 one-off.

What if Keepyz isn't for me?

You haven't bought anything. You can simply not use the site.

If you have Premium, at expiry you can decide not to renew. There are no automatic renewals.
