Change today's special and it's live in seconds. A real published example is linked below.

Salon and barber website with online booking
A salon website has one job: let people book without the phone ringing while your hands are busy. The salon and barber template comes with services (price, duration, photo), online booking with a deposit to avoid no-shows, a before/after gallery, your team, a map and hours. Clients pick a slot on their phone, pay the deposit if you ask for one, and get a confirmation; you see it in your dashboard.
- Services with price, duration and photo
- Online booking with deposits, paid into your own Stripe account
- Before/after gallery and team
- Real map, hours and one-tap call or WhatsApp

A small shop website with sizes and by-weight pricing

The products section sells with sizes and variants (clothing, footwear, crafts) and by weight, priced per kilo or per 100 g (produce, butchers, fishmongers, cheese shops). Orders arrive by email or are paid online through Stripe, and the customer picks up in store or you deliver.
- Products with sizes, variants and photos
- By-weight pricing per kg or per 100 g
- Orders by email or online payment, no commission from us
- Pickup or delivery, your call

The honest answer
Build your own website or hire a designer?
Hire a designer if you need something custom: an unusual layout, integrations, a brand built from scratch. That's real work and it costs real money, usually $500-$3,000 upfront plus a monthly retainer for hosting and changes.
Build it yourself if what you need is what most small businesses need: show up on Google, hours and phone, bookings or orders, a few good photos and the legal pages. With a template made for your trade and an editor anyone can use, that's one afternoon, $16 a month, and every change is yours to make instantly. Read the full comparison.

FAQ
Small business website FAQ
How much does a small business website cost?
With 1h1app, $16 a month or $160 a year (16 €/160 € if you're in Europe), everything included: templates, bookings with deposits, menus, a shop, maps, blog and the legal pages. No setup fee, no per-change fees, no commission, and a free .com domain for the first year on the annual plan. A designer or budget agency typically charges $500-$3,000 upfront plus hosting and maintenance on top.
Can I take reservations with deposits?
Yes. The bookings section lets customers pick a date and time and pay a deposit through Stripe into your own account. It works for restaurants (by time slot), salons, clinics, trainers and holiday rentals.
Is there a commission on bookings or sales?
No. 1h1app never takes a cut of your bookings or sales. Deposits and payments go straight to your Stripe account; you only pay Stripe's normal card fee.
Can I sell by weight or with sizes?
Yes. The products section supports sizes and variants (clothing, crafts) and by-weight pricing per kilo or per 100 g (produce, butchers, cheese shops). Orders arrive by email or are paid online.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You pick a template for your trade, change the words and photos and publish. Colors, typography, the mobile version and the legal pages are already handled, and a 7-step guide inside the editor walks first-timers through it.
Who owns the domain?
You use it and you keep it. On the annual plan we buy the .com (the first year is free) and, if you ever leave, we transfer it to your name. On monthly you publish at 1h1app.com/yourname and can connect a domain you already own at any time.
Is it GDPR and cookie compliant?
Yes, out of the box: a privacy policy, legal notice and cookie notice generated from your business details, a cookie banner only if your site actually needs one, and cookie-free analytics. It's built for EU GDPR; wherever your visitors are, no tracking cookies are set at all.
Can I use my own domain later?
Yes. Start at 1h1app.com/yourname and connect your own domain whenever you want, or take the free .com on the annual plan. We set up the redirects so you don't lose your Google ranking.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contract: cancel from your dashboard, no call or email needed, and your site stays online until the end of the period you've already paid for. We keep your design in case you come back.
How long until it's live?
One afternoon. You can publish the same day you sign up: the template already has real example content, so you only replace it with yours.
