How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
How many photographs can I put up?
As many as you have, though a gallery of twelve good ones beats forty. They are resized on our side and loaded as somebody scrolls, so the page does not slow down as it grows: a photo gallery on your site.
Can I show a job before and after?
Yes, two photographs side by side with one caption. It is the single most convincing thing a trade can put on a page, and it is a band you can add per job: a photo gallery on your site.
Can people send me a photograph of their room?
Yes. The enquiry form takes attachments, so the first message can already have the alcove in it, and your first reply can already have a number in it.
