Basic webpage creation and hosting (free)

If your needs are simple, then we would create a webpage for you and arrange free hosting. A typical webpage we would make for clients free of charge would include some text, images and links, perhaps even associated files, such as a downloadable PDF menu for a restaurant. We would make it look tidy when viewed either on the computer or on mobile.

Domains (Web addresses)

Where will your webpage live? What address will it have?

Below are two options. If you are a total beginner, or if you are looking for the simplest approach, we suggest going with option 1, getting a subdomain.

Option 1: Get a subdomain on expli.cat (free)

The simplest option is to get your own subdomain on expli.cat. This is a free service.

For example, if you had a business called "Terrabona", your address would be:

https://terrabona.expli.cat

Not bad, eh?

By the way, in Web addresses, subdomains come before the domain like so:

https://<subdomain>.<domain>.cat

Option 2: Use your own domain

If you already have your own domain, or you prefer to get your own (e.g. terrabona.cat) then good for you. If you like, we can help you with buying your own domain and then we can still offer to build you a basic webpage and make it public.

Credit, and inclusion in our directory

In exchange for our services, we would ask to include a credit on your webpage, something like "Webpage by expli.cat", which would link to expli.cat. This would help us to promote our project.

Furthermore, we would ask to include your page in our directory. This would help us to grow a community of websites supported by expli.cat, and hopefully help others to discover you and your business.

Staying or leaving

We want to help, and we also want to empower you, and support your freedom to make your own decisions about your website.

In the future, if you want to leave and take your website somewhere else, we will assist. We don't want to trap you here.

We will set you up with administration privileges with your website. You will get the username/password and the power to make changes, or to close it, or to transfer it. Should you want to work with your own developer or switch to a different platform you can do so.
