How Rebuild works
Five steps, and nothing to pay.
Paste your link and tell us about you
Give us your current address, then answer a few short questions: what you do, who visits, and what's not working. We use your answers to shape the new site, so you never have to figure out what to ask for.
We copy and rebuild it
We read every page, photo and opening hour on your old site and build a modern, mobile-friendly version from it. We never invent facts. If two pages disagree, or something looks out of date, we ask you.
Check it and change it
See your real site, then ask for changes in plain words, like “make it warmer” or “put pickup times on the homepage.” Undo anything. Stuck? Ask a person and a volunteer helps.
Put it on your web address
Your site goes into your own free hosting account, and we show you the one or two settings to change where you bought your address. Your email keeps working, and your old site stays up until you switch.
Edit it yourself, forever
You change text, photos and hours from your own site. If Rebuild disappeared tomorrow, your site would keep working.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing. There's no account, no card and no monthly fee, now or later. Grants and fundraising cover what it costs to run Rebuild.
- Who owns the new site?
- You do. It goes into your own free hosting account and onto your own web address. If you ever hire a web person, they can pick it up from there.
- Will my old site disappear?
- No. Your current site stays up until you choose to switch, and your email keeps working when you do.
