Introducing Basis

Basis is the fastest honest way to put a real business online. You talk to it, it builds your site while you watch, and a few minutes later you are live on your own domain. Today we are opening it in early access.

Most small businesses do not have a website, or have one they are quietly embarrassed by. Not because they do not care, but because every existing path asks too much: learn a builder, brief an agency, wait weeks, pay for things you cannot evaluate. Basis removes the path. There is nothing to learn and no one to chase. There is a conversation, and then there is your site.

What Basis is

Basis is a website, hosting, a domain and a professional email address, delivered as one calm subscription and set up for you. No builder, no templates to fight, no agency thread that goes cold.

The promise is simple: a small business owner with no technical knowledge can go from nothing to a finished, live website in a single sitting, and never has to touch the machinery underneath.

How it works

You talk, it listens

You tell Basis about your business the way you would tell a person: what you do, who you serve, what makes you worth choosing. It asks good questions back. That conversation is the whole brief.

It builds, you watch

From that conversation Basis designs several real directions for your site, in parallel, in front of you. Not wireframes, not stock mockups. Actual pages you can open, with your words, your offer and a look chosen to fit your trade.

You pick and refine

You choose the direction you like and tell Basis what to change. It revises on the spot. When it feels right, you say so.

You go live

Basis takes a domain, sets up hosting and, if you want it, a professional inbox on that domain. A few minutes after the conversation began, your site is live and yours.

What you get

• A site designed for your business, not poured into a template.
• Hosting and a contact form, handled for you, with the messages landing in one place.
• Your domain, included up to a yearly cap, with any pricier choice showing its small supplement before you ever pay.
• An optional professional email address on your own domain, you@your-business.com, set up without a mailbox to configure.
• A simple dashboard for your site, your requests and your messages. No monthly meeting, no builder to relearn.

What it costs

Seven euros a month for the site, hosting, contact form and dashboard, all in. Your domain is covered up to its yearly cap. A professional inbox on your domain is an optional two euros a month. You can cancel anytime. No setup fee, no surprise invoice, no quote to wait for.

Early access

Basis is open in early access, by request. Leave your email on the Basis page and you join the whitelist. When a place opens we send you your link in, and you can build your site that same day.

What comes next

Early access is where we sharpen Basis against real businesses, real trades and real demands. As it proves itself we will widen the door. The goal does not change: the moment a business decides to exist online, Basis should be the shortest honest distance between that decision and a site they are proud of.
