Every preview shows the same sample electrician business — picture your own brand on it. Each look is a complete one-page site with an enquiry form built in. Picking a look is free and signs you up for nothing.
The FAQ Bot — free with your site
It answers visitor questions using only answers you approve — nothing made up. When it can't match a question confidently, it says so and captures the visitor's contact request instead. Try the live demo on this screen, then read the straight answers:
Is IslandBuilt really free?
Yes — the kit is completely free, and it stays free. The FAQ bot, Brand Studio, the website templates and your download are all free; no payment is required and no card is asked for. The only paid thing here is optional: a done-for-you service at $300/month, for owners who would rather not do the setup themselves. That covers putting your site online for you, setting up your social media pages, writing and scheduling your monthly posts (you approve before anything goes out), installing your FAQ bot and keeping it current, your Google SEO and local listings (Google Business Profile, Apple Maps, Yelp and the like), and handling your updates. The free kit is yours either way.
Do I need an account?
You need an account to publish and manage an FAQ bot, view captured leads, and save branding projects. You can try the branding creator and download designs without signing in.
Is the FAQ bot the same as Maya?
No. Maya is a separate receptionist built for Hearth & Plank. The free FAQ bot answers from the information you provide and supports basic lead capture.
Does the chatbot invent answers?
It's designed to return approved FAQ answers. If it can't confidently match a question, it should say so rather than make something up.
Can I use my branding downloads commercially?
Yes, subject to the published template and asset licence. Templates are shared, and designs are not guaranteed to be exclusive or trademark-available.
Why are there usage limits?
IslandBuilt is operated by one person. Limits help keep the service free and available without uncontrolled infrastructure costs.
Will my customer's information be used for IslandBuilt marketing?
No. Lead information is processed to provide the chatbot service and make enquiries available to the relevant business, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. Account settings include a deletion process, subject to any applicable legal retention obligations.

Step 3 of 3 — your files
Almost there. Your files are made only after both steps are settled — finished or skipped — so nothing half-done lands in your downloads.
How to put your site online
Your website files sit inside the download, in the website folder. Putting them online takes about 10 minutes — no tech skills needed. This same guide is inside your ZIP too (look for the START-HERE file). Pick the host that fits you:
Option 1 — Cloudflare (free)
- Go to cloudflare.com and make a free account, or sign in.
- In the left menu open Workers & Pages, then click Create.
- Choose the Pages tab, then Upload assets.
- Name your project — that name becomes your address, like yourbusiness.pages.dev.
- Drag in your files: open the website folder from your download, select everything inside it, and drop it into the box.
- Click Deploy. About a minute later, your site is live at your project address.
- Want your own domain on it? Open the project, click the Custom domains tab, and follow Cloudflare's steps.
Option 2 — Porkbun (your domain or hosting is there)
- Log in at porkbun.com — you'll land on Domain Management.
- Find your domain and click the hosting icon under the Website column. No hosting on it yet? Add a plan there first — Porkbun's Static Hosting is made for sites like this one.
- Open the hosting file manager (on cPanel hosting: Launch cPanel, then File Manager).
- Open the web root folder for your domain — on cPanel hosting it's called public_html.
- Upload the ZIP you downloaded, then use Extract to unzip it right there.
- Open the new website folder, select everything inside, and move it into the web root itself — index.html should sit right in that folder, not inside another one.
- Visit your domain. You're live.
Rather use FTP? Your hosting page lists FTP credentials (under Publishing on Static Hosting) — any FTP app, like FileZilla, can upload the same files. Stuck at any step? Email hello@islandbuiltai.ca and we'll point you the right way.
