Common questions
How do I build my site?
Pick a template, then click any part of the page to change its words or pictures. Your changes save on their own, there is no save button. You do not need an account to start.
How much does it cost?
$88 for the first year, then $99 a year. That includes your own domain name, business email on that domain, hosting, and support. You can cancel at any time.
How do I pay?
EVC Plus, ZAAD or SAHAL from your phone, you enter your number and approve the payment with your PIN. PayPal works too if you prefer.
How do people find my website?
Your site gets its own domain name, like yourbusiness.com, included in the plan. You share that link with customers on WhatsApp, Facebook or anywhere else.
Can I use my own domain that I already bought?
Yes. Go to Domains in your dashboard and choose 'Connect a domain you own'. We show you the two settings to copy, and we check them for you until they work.
Can someone else help me run the site?
Yes. You can invite family or staff from the Users page and choose what they are allowed to change. Owners keep control of billing.
What if I get stuck?
Message us. We answer in Somali or English, and we will do it with you rather than send you a link.
