Your free website. Live in 5 minutes.

Yes. The builder, the twenty-eight templates, all the sections and publishing cost nothing, and there’s no cut-down version to be left out of: the builder has no paid plan. You pay for two different, optional things — the management software, if you want to receive real bookings, and your own domain, if the free address isn’t enough for you.

Five minutes to have a site that’s online and presentable: the time it takes to describe your business and read through what came out. For a polished site — your own photos instead of the starter ones, the copy revised word by word, the full menu — allow an evening. The difference is that after five minutes you already have something published, not a blank page.

No, at no point. It isn’t asked for when you sign up or when you publish, and the site doesn’t expire after a trial period. You only need a card if one day you decide to switch on the management software or buy your own domain.

No. You don’t touch code anywhere, and the copy can be left just as the AI wrote it. If you’d rather write it yourself, start from one of the twenty-eight templates and put the sections together by hand: it’s the same route, without the AI step.

It writes the structure and the copy: which pages are needed, which sections, in what order, with which words and which colours. It doesn’t make up reviews, it doesn’t make up addresses, phone numbers or opening hours, and it doesn’t write HTML: it produces data that is checked and then drawn by the same builder as the manual route. Everything that’s a fact about your business, you put in yourself, and it stays as you wrote it.

Every text, every photo, every colour, the order of the sections, which pages exist. Nothing is locked and nothing is final: you reopen the site and change it whenever you want, as often as you want.

To start with, lyamflow.com/s/ followed by the name you choose, live the moment you create the site: no DNS to wait for, no certificate to configure. Your own address — for example trattoriadamario.ch — is connected from the settings for CHF 9 a month, registration and renewal included. It’s optional: if you don’t buy one, you don’t lose a single feature.

Yes, and it isn’t a separate version to maintain: the same site adapts on its own to every screen. That’s what matters most, because when people look for a place to go, they almost always do it on their phone, out on the street, shortly before deciding where to head.

The bookings section can be added to the free site too, but to actually receive bookings you need the management software switched on: it keeps the register of tables or rooms and stops the same spot from being given out twice. The first 14 days are free with no card, then the management software starts at CHF 29.90 a month. The site stays free even if you never switch the software on.

Yes, and it’s on from the start: every site goes into the sitemap, has a title and description you can edit page by page, and a switch to stay out if you prefer. Indexing does take its time, though — publishing isn’t the same as appearing the next day.

The content is yours, and the domain, if you’ve bought one, is registered to you. The site, though, is built inside LyamFlow: if you close the account, the address lyamflow.com/s/yourname stops responding. That’s why, if the site becomes important to you, it’s worth connecting your own domain to it.
