A real Clay site, built from a Google listing

The reason a lot of small businesses have no website is not the website, it is the sequence: buy a domain, buy hosting, pay somebody, and only then find out whether it was worth doing.

Clay reverses that. The site is live and free on your own name.clay.site address from the first minute, with a real link you can print. If it earns a proper domain, connect one, the pages, the addresses and the QR codes all keep working.

The free address

It is a real address, not a preview

name.clay.site is live, indexable, shareable and printable. It carries a small "Made with Clay" badge and nothing else, no banner, no ad, no trial clock.

Plenty of businesses never move off it, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Connecting one is a DNS record and a wait

Buy the domain wherever you like, point it at Clay, and the certificate is issued for you. The clay.site address keeps working afterwards, so anything already printed still lands.

What you get

One plan

The paid plan is the domain, the badge coming off and the pro features. There is nothing else to add on.

No rebuild

It is the same site at a different name. Nothing is exported, migrated or re-entered.

Your photographs, already sorted

Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.

What it looks like when it is live

Questions

Is the free site really live?

Yes, indexable, shareable, and the address is yours. The only difference is the badge in the footer.

Where do I buy the domain?

Wherever you like, any registrar, any extension. Point it at Clay and the certificate is issued for you. If you already own one, that works the same way. If you have not picked a name yet, how to choose a domain name is the six rules that hold up.

What happens to my clay.site address?

It keeps working. Anything you have already printed still lands on the site.

Can I run more than one site?

Yes, on a paid plan, each with its own address.

Do I lose anything by staying on the free address?

The badge in the footer stays, you cannot use your own domain, and BOOKING is refused, a free site draws the booking page and the server turns the booking away. Everything else, the pages, the search visibility, the shop, the menu, the hours, the reviews, is the same site.

How long does connecting a domain take?

A DNS record and a wait, usually under an hour. The certificate is issued for you and the clay.site address keeps working afterwards.

Can I move the domain away later?

A domain you bought yourself stays yours at your own registrar, point it somewhere else whenever you like. We only ever hold the DNS record pointing it here.
