How it works

Three steps to a free rebuild.

No forms-within-forms, no sales calls. You point us at a site that needs help, we do the work, and the whole community gets a before-and-after worth sharing.

  1. 01

    You find ’em

    Spot a business limping along on an ancient, broken, or non-existent website? Nominate them. Or nominate yourself — totally fine. Drop a link (a website, a Facebook page, an Instagram, anything) and a sentence about why they deserve a rescue.

    Even a Facebook page counts — if you can link it, you can nominate it!

  2. 02

    We fix ’em

    Our team reviews submissions and picks rescues to rebuild — a clean, modern, mobile-first site (brochure, low-interactivity, or basic e-commerce). The whole build is free. Even ongoing content updates are included. No catch.

    Together we win

    We publish the before-and-after as a case study, the business gets a site they’re proud of, and the community gets a feel-good win to share. The only ongoing cost is hosting at $29/mo — keep it as long as you like.

    Then we share the before-and-after so everyone can cheer!

Maria’s Taqueria — new website (after), mobile

The same rescue, built mobile-first.

The assessment

A beloved taqueria buried under tiled backgrounds, clip-art, a hit counter, and an “under construction” banner. Unreadable on a phone, no clear way to order, and a permanent first impression of “closed.”

The rescue · Full rebuild

A warm, appetizing one-pager built mobile-first: hero photography, menu highlights, hours, and a single obvious “Order online” button — all on a fast, secure host.

What's included

The build is free. Really free.

No setup fee, no design fee, no “gotcha” upsell. We design and build the whole site at no cost. The only thing you ever pay is hosting — one flat price that even includes ongoing content updates.

Twenty-nine bucks a month is the whole bill. No asterisks, I promise.

  • It’s yours to keep

    No lock-in games. The site is built for your business and stays yours for as long as you keep it online.

Good candidates

Know a site like this?

If a business you love fits any of these, they’re a perfect rescue. Don’t be shy — nominate them (or yourself).

Stuck-in-time websites

Tiny text, clip art, a hit counter, “best viewed in Internet Explorer.” A great business hiding behind a dated site.

Not mobile-friendly

Visitors have to pinch and zoom just to read it. If it breaks on a phone, it’s losing customers every day.

Social-only businesses

Thriving on Instagram or Facebook but with no real home base. Let’s give them a site they actually own.

Beloved local shops

The taqueria, the florist, the plumber everyone recommends — excellent businesses that just never got online right.

If it makes you pinch-and-zoom on a phone, it’s already on our list.

FAQ

The “wait, really?” questions.

Yes, really. Here’s how the free rebuilds and the $29/mo hosting actually work.

Ken, a Rescue This Site hero

Yep, it’s actually free. Ask us anything — we’ve got the answers.

— Ken
Is the website really free to build?

Yes. Design and build are completely free — there’s no setup fee and no hidden cost. The only thing you ever pay is hosting at $29/month, which keeps your site fast, secure, and online. Ongoing content updates are included in that, too.

Can I nominate someone else’s business?

Absolutely — that’s how most rescues happen. Drop a link to their website, Facebook page, or Instagram and tell us why they deserve a rescue. We’ll reach out to the owner before we publish anything.

Can I submit my own business?

Of course. Self-nominations are welcome and very common. Use the same form and let us know it’s your business.

What kinds of sites do you build?

Clean, modern, mobile-first sites: simple one-pagers, brochure-style sites, low-interactivity marketing sites, and basic e-commerce. We match the build to what the business actually needs.

What does the $29/month actually cover?

Fast, SSL-secured hosting, a connected custom domain, ongoing uptime, and ongoing content updates (hours, photos, menu/items, promos). No long-term contract — keep it as long as it’s working for you.

Do you have to pick my submission?

We can’t rebuild every site at once, so we choose rescues from the submissions and candidates we find. Nominating gets you in the queue — and a great story or a clearly struggling site definitely helps you stand out.

TEAM UP & SAVE THE DAY!

You find ’em. We fix ’em. Together we win.

Help a great business get the website it deserves. The build is free — the only cost is $29/mo hosting.
