Questions, answered.

More questions

Is the free website really free?

Yes. You get one website at a benchlight.page address with a small “Made with Benchlight” credit. There’s no card and nothing to cancel.

What do I get for $19 a month?

We build your full website with more pages, your photos and logo, and a .com we register for you. Hosting and up to two small updates a month are included. You see a free preview first, pay only when it goes live, and can get a full refund within 30 days.

Can I use a web address I already own?

Yes. We can connect a domain you own instead of registering a new one. To host a website you already have at your own address, hosting is $9 a month after 14 free days.

Will my email keep working?

Yes. Moving your website changes only its web records, so your email settings stay as they are. Send yourself a test email after the move to check that mail still arrives.

Can I make my website in Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes, in Claude today: add Benchlight, describe your business and check the private draft. It goes live at your free address only after you say yes. Benchlight for ChatGPT is coming soon.
