Build and Publish a Real Website on the Free Plan
Create an account, start from an editable template or your own site structure, refine it visually, and publish on a Cogo Site subdomain without entering a credit card. The current Free plan has clear capacity limits instead of hidden trial-only publishing.
What the current Free plan actually includes
Free lets you launch a live website, not just a preview. You can build one site with up to 10 pages, an included Cogo Site subdomain, multilingual support, and full visual editing.
Free does not include a custom domain, branding removal, or Pro business tools. See our Pricing page for full plan details.
How the free website workflow works
Use the same site creation, editing, preview, and publishing path as paid users; the difference is the Free plan's capacity limits.
Create your account and choose a starting point
Start from scratch or choose a business template. Industry templates for home services, SaaS, and portfolios are ready to customize.
Customize your site visually
Change pages, sections, copy, images, layouts, themes, and languages in the visual editor. Advanced AI actions can be unlocked with credits.
Publish on the included subdomain
Publish the site through the normal release path. Free sites remain subject to the current Free page-view and storage limits, and platform branding stays visible.
Useful websites you can start on Free
Choose a template or build from scratch, and customize every page with visual tools.
Local service business sites
Use dedicated templates for HVAC, roofing, cleaning, or landscaping with services, service-area content, and inquiry sections.
Small business and launch sites
Build a multi-page business website, product launch, waitlist, consultant site, or other standard public site within the Free capacity limits.
Creator and portfolio sites
Start from portfolio, studio, creator, author, musician, or other editable content-first templates and replace demo material with your own work.
Multilingual sites
Easily publish content in multiple languages from a single visual editor.
When the current Free limits stop fitting
Upgrade because the website or workflow needs more capacity — not because a trial timer expires.
See our Pricing page for full plan comparisons and advanced features.
- You need a custom domain or want to remove the required Cogo Site branding
- You need more pages, storage, page views, or additional sites than the Free limits allow
- You need a recurring monthly AI credit allowance for regular AI-assisted editing
- You need Pro workflows such as Forms, CRM, Site Membership, Product Library, Knowledge Base, or AI Customer Service
