Complimentary Website Program
Apply for a Complimentary Website Built by Emmy Drafts
We help selected business owners, entrepreneurs, and organizations get a professional website at no cost through our Complimentary Website Program.
Tell us what kind of website you need. If your project is a good fit, we’ll send you the next steps to confirm your participation and begin the process.
No payment is required to apply. Applicants are reviewed for fit, scope, and program availability.
THE CHALLENGE
A Website Can Change How People See Your Business
A professional website gives people a place to learn who you are, what you offer, and why they should trust you. For many small business owners, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and creators, getting a quality website built can feel expensive, confusing, or out of reach.
That’s why Emmy Drafts created the Complimentary Website Program. Through this program, selected applicants can receive a professionally built website at no cost, while experiencing the Emmy Drafts approach to service, clarity, and follow-through.
Application takes just a few minutes. Selected applicants will be notified after review.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We Believe Trust Should Come Before a Transaction
At Emmy Drafts, we know that investing in a website can feel overwhelming — especially for small business owners, early-stage entrepreneurs, and organizations still building momentum.
The Complimentary Website Program was created to lower that barrier.
Instead of asking every qualified applicant to become a paid client first, we use this program to introduce people to the way we work: with clarity, care, professionalism, and follow-through.
Our goal is simple: Earn trust by serving first.
Some participants may later hire us for larger website projects, marketing support, branding, or automations. Others may simply use the website we build to take their next step forward.
We are transparent that this is not a bait-and-switch. We earn trust by delivering professional value first, allowing you to experience our standard of care without financial risk.

TRANSPARENCY
Why Would Emmy Drafts Build Websites for Free?
The answer is simple: trust.
Our Complimentary Website Program allows qualified applicants to experience Emmy Drafts before ever paying us for a larger service.
For some participants, the complimentary website may be the only project we ever complete together. For others, it becomes the beginning of a longer relationship involving paid website improvements, branding, marketing, automations, content, or growth support.
We are transparent about that. This program is not charity in disguise, and it is not a bait-and-switch. It is a trust-building model that helps us serve more people while introducing more business owners to the Emmy Drafts ecosystem.
Our goal is to earn trust by delivering value first.
100%
TRANSPARENT
No hidden fees. No bait-and-switch. Just trust built through value.

Scope & Exclusions
What This Program Is Not Built For
To keep the program sustainable and helpful for as many qualified applicants as possible, we do not accept every type of project. This program may not be a fit for:
- Large custom platforms
- Advanced web applications
- Complex e-commerce stores
- Membership portals
- Heavy custom development
- Extensive custom integrations
- SEO & Paid Ads management
- Copywriting from scratch
- Domain & hosting purchase

Need Advanced Features?
If your project requires a larger build, advanced functionality, or a custom development scope, Emmy Drafts may still be able to help through our paid services. Some of these services, such as advanced custom development, SEO campaigns, or complex e-commerce builds, are available separately.
Applications Are Reviewed for Fit
The Complimentary Website Program is selective because we want to protect the quality of the work and make sure we can serve accepted applicants well. When reviewing applications, we consider:
- Whether the website request is clear
- Whether the project fits the program
- Whether the scope is realistic
- Whether the applicant has a real business, organization, or project need
- Whether our team has the available resources to help
- Whether the website can be reasonably completed within the program structure
Selected applicants will receive a confirmation message with the next steps.
If your application is not accepted, it does not mean your business or idea is not valuable. It may simply mean the project is not the right fit for this specific program at this time.
Built on Service. Connected to a Bigger Mission.
Emmy Drafts believes business can be a tool for service.
Our company’s namesake, Emmy, lives with cerebral palsy. In her honor, Emmy Drafts donates a portion of yearly profit to cerebral palsy foundations.
That mission reminds us why accessibility, dignity, opportunity, and care matter in the work we do.
The Complimentary Website Program is one way we put our service-first philosophy into action - by helping selected applicants take a meaningful step forward online.
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
Your Questions, Answered
Find clear answers to common questions about the Complimentary Website Program, the application process, and what to expect when working with Emmy Drafts.
Is the website really free?
Yes. Selected applicants accepted into the Complimentary Website Program may receive a professionally built website at no cost. Approved applicants will complete a CWP participation agreement and a $0 invoice as part of the official acceptance process.
Why does Emmy Drafts offer this program?
We offer the Complimentary Website Program because we believe trust should come before a transaction. It allows qualified applicants to experience the Emmy Drafts standard of service before ever paying us for a larger project. Some participants may later hire us for additional paid services, while others may simply use the complimentary website to move their business forward.
Who qualifies for the Complimentary Website Program?
There is no automatic guarantee of acceptance. We review applications based on fit, clarity, project scope, available resources, and whether the requested website aligns with the program. Small businesses, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, creators, and service providers may be strong candidates if their project is realistic and clearly defined.
What kind of websites do you build through this program?
The program is best suited for simple, professional websites such as small business websites, service-based business websites, portfolio websites, nonprofit websites, landing pages, and informational websites.
What types of projects are not a good fit?
Projects involving large custom platforms, advanced web applications, complex marketplaces, heavy custom development, advanced integrations, or unclear project goals may not be a fit for the program.
Do I need to already have hosting?
Not necessarily. The application asks whether you already have hosting so our team can better understand your current setup. Hosting needs may vary depending on your project.
Do I need a brand kit?
No, but having a brand kit can help. If you already have a logo, colors, fonts, images, or brand guidelines, that may make the build process easier. If not, we will review your application based on what is available.
Do I need legal compliance documents?
The application asks whether you have items such as Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or EIN/TIN information because these details may matter depending on the type of website being built. Emmy Drafts does not provide legal advice, and applicants are responsible for their own legal and compliance needs.
How long does the application review take?
Review timelines may vary depending on application volume. If your application is approved, you will receive a confirmation message with the next steps.
What happens after I’m accepted?
If accepted, you will receive a confirmation message. Once you confirm participation, you will receive the CWP participation agreement and a $0 invoice. After those steps are completed, our onboarding process begins.
Will I be required to buy anything later?
No purchase is required to apply. The program is designed to provide selected applicants with a complimentary website. Emmy Drafts may offer additional paid services separately, but those are optional and not required to submit an application.
Can I apply again if I’m not accepted?
Yes. If your application is not accepted, you may be able to apply again in the future. Acceptance depends on fit, scope, timing, and available program resources.
Is this only for businesses?
No. While many applicants are business owners, the program may also be a fit for nonprofits, ministries, community organizations, creators, and professionals who need a credible online presence.
