The complete journey
Eight clear stages from your details to an active, manageable website.
Choose your business type
Select the closest trade or service category so DotNetPress can prepare an appropriate website structure and service choices.
Add your business details
Provide your business name, contact information, genuine services, primary coverage, description and an optional logo.
Choose the appearance
Select a light or dark theme style and provide the information needed to personalise the initial website.
Select an initial plan
Compare service-page limits, Admin users, domain support and optional modules, then choose monthly or annual billing and a website address.
Generate the initial preview
DotNetPress prepares editable pages and starting content around the information and service choices you supplied.
Review before payment
Open the generated website and check its structure, wording, services, colours and selected page content before checkout.
Checkout, verify and activate
Continue only when ready. After checkout, verify factual and policy content, connect the appropriate domain and prepare the website for publication.
Manage and expand it
Update services, images, testimonials and content through the Admin area, and add eligible modules when they solve a genuine need.
What gets created
The initial preview gives you a structured, ready-to-edit starting point.
Your core website foundation
- Core business pages and editable standard policy-page starting content where included
- Service pages within the selected plan limit
- Contact and enquiry routes, testimonials and gallery
- SEO fields, CMS access and Rosie
Policy-page starting content is editable general information, not individual legal advice, and must be reviewed for your business.
Optional local coverage structure
- Location landing pages for genuine service areas
- Location-service pages with distinct local information
- Up to the current module or package limit
- Editable locally relevant content structure
Location pages are not included as standard with every website plan.
Your responsibility before publication
Review every generated or prepared statement carefully.
Confirm that your services, qualifications, prices, locations, images and business claims are accurate and authorised for use. Review editable privacy, terms and other standard policy-page starting content for your own circumstances and obtain professional advice where needed.
Why preview first?
Why creating a preview first matters.
See a real starting point
Review generated pages and content rather than committing to an abstract promise or beginning with a blank canvas.
Check the direction
Assess the structure, service choices, appearance and wording before you decide whether to continue to checkout.
Know what still needs attention
The preview makes it easier to identify factual edits, image requirements, domain decisions and publication tasks.
Open the live website-creation form.
The signup route shows the current business-type, service, theme, plan, module, billing and domain choices used to create a preview.
Open the website creatorExplore genuine DotNetPress example websites.
Use the Theme Viewer to compare available example layouts across desktop, tablet and mobile before starting.
View example websitesBegin with an organised website foundation.
The initial website can include core business pages, service pages, contact routes, gallery and testimonial areas, SEO fields and Admin controls. Optional location pages and business modules require an eligible plan or module.
Develop the website as your business completes work.
Add genuine images, testimonials, refined service content and appropriate modules as your business gains evidence and its requirements become clearer.
Optional location pages
Build visibility around the areas your business genuinely serves.
Start with towns and service areas you genuinely cover. Add distinct local details, relevant services and proof of work as your business develops, rather than creating large numbers of near-identical pages.
State genuine coverage
Help customers understand where you work without implying that every surrounding town or postcode is served.
Add useful local information
Use distinct access, service, project or appointment information rather than changing only the place name.
Expand gradually
Add areas when your working pattern, services and genuine local evidence justify another useful page.
Process questions
What to know before you create a preview.
Do I pay before seeing the website?
No. DotNetPress generates an initial website preview from the information you provide before you continue to checkout.
What information do I need before starting?
Have your business name, contact details, genuine service choices, primary location, a short business description and, where available, your logo ready.
Does the preview put my website online?
No. The preview is a private, temporary view of the generated starting point. Payment, activation, factual review and publication are separate stages.
Can I change the generated content?
Yes. The generated pages and starting content are editable. Review and correct them so they accurately describe your own business before publication.
How long does the initial preview take?
Most businesses can complete the form and generate an initial preview in under 10 minutes when their essential information is ready.
What happens after checkout?
The selected website plan is activated, after which you can complete factual checks, domain arrangements, content updates and publication preparation.
When can I connect my domain?
Professional Website uses an included DotNetPress subdomain. Custom-domain connection and the current first-year .co.uk offer are available with eligible higher plans.
Are location pages included?
Location and location-service pages require the Local Location Pages module or an eligible package that includes it. They are not standard on every website plan.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. Eligible plans and available modules can be changed as your website and business requirements develop.
Which modules are optional?
Current module choices and prices are shown during signup. Location pages, customer job scheduling and social-media posting are available separately and are included in eligible packages.
Do I need to connect my social accounts?
Yes, for supported publishing. The appropriate business accounts must be connected and authorised, and available channels and publishing methods are shown before activation.
Is generated content checked automatically?
DotNetPress prepares starting content, but you are responsible for verifying services, qualifications, prices, coverage, images, policy pages and every business claim before publication.
Optional social-media module
Prepare and approve content for supported social channels.
The Social Media Posting module is separate from the core website unless included in your selected package.
Facebook and Instagram
Create AI-assisted drafts, review them in an approval workflow and schedule publishing through supported, authorised business-account connections.
Assisted Nextdoor sharing
Prepare suitable copy and links for you to share manually through the relevant Nextdoor Business Page.
Specialist Google Business connection
Google Business is handled separately and remains subject to the appropriate account connection, permissions and platform approval.
Supported publishing requires the relevant business accounts to be connected and authorised. Available channels and publishing methods are shown before the module is activated, and posts should be reviewed before publication.
