What's Included in a Free MyNinjaSite Website
A free MyNinjaSite website includes a custom-built design using your real business info and photos, fast and secure hosting, and a fully mobile-friendly layout, all live at no cost. You also get the ability to request edits after launch. There's no setup fee and nothing charged unless you choose to add an optional paid upgrade like a custom domain or business email.
When something is free, it's fair to wonder what you're actually getting. Here's a plain breakdown of exactly what comes with a free MyNinjaSite website, and what's optional if you ever want more.
A Real, Custom-Built Design
Your site isn't a generic template with your name swapped in. MyNinjaSite pulls your actual business details, your hours, your services, your location, your real photos where available, and builds a layout suited to your industry. A roofing company doesn't get the same look as a nail salon. The goal is a site that looks like it was built specifically for your business, because it was.
What goes into the design
- A homepage that leads with what you do and where you do it
- A services or menu section built from your actual offerings
- A contact section with your phone, address, and hours
- Real photos when they're available, clean stock imagery matched to your industry when they're not
- A layout and color scheme chosen to fit your type of business, not a one-size-fits-all theme
Hosting That's Actually Live
A lot of "free website" offers hand you a file or a design mockup and leave the hosting part up to you. That's not what happens here. Your MyNinjaSite site is hosted and live on the internet the moment it's built, with a working URL you can share, put on a business card, or link from your Google Business Profile. There's no separate hosting bill, no server to configure, and no expiration date on the free tier. It stays up.
Built for Mobile First
Most people looking up a local business are doing it on their phone, often while standing in a parking lot deciding where to eat or who to call. Every MyNinjaSite site is built mobile-first, which means the phone version isn't an afterthought squeezed out of a desktop layout. Buttons are sized to tap, phone numbers are click-to-call, and pages load fast on a cell connection. A site that's slow or hard to read on a phone loses the visitor before they ever see what you offer.
Security Built In
Every MyNinjaSite website runs on HTTPS by default, so visitors see the padlock icon and their connection is encrypted. That matters for two practical reasons: browsers actively warn people away from sites without it, and Google factors it into search rankings. You don't have to buy an SSL certificate or configure anything. It's on from day one, same as the hosting.
Making Edits After Launch
Business details change. Hours shift for the holidays, you add a new service, a photo needs replacing, or you just want the wording tightened up. A free MyNinjaSite site isn't a one-and-done snapshot frozen in time. You can request edits and updates so the site keeps matching your actual business instead of going stale. If you want to make frequent changes yourself without asking each time, that's where an optional self-serve editor comes in, more on that below.
What's Optional, Not Required
The core site, the design, the hosting, the mobile build, the security, and basic edit requests, is free with no catch and no monthly bill. On top of that, MyNinjaSite offers optional paid add-ons for businesses that want more: a custom domain instead of the default subdomain, a matching business email address, a self-serve editor so you can update text and photos yourself anytime, online booking, and SEO work to help you show up higher in local search. None of these are required to have a working, professional site. They're there if and when you want them.
Who Builds and Maintains These Sites
MyNinjaSite websites come from public business information already available online, things like your Google listing, your reviews, and your published photos. That's also why accuracy matters on your end: if your hours or services listed publicly are outdated, that's worth fixing at the source and then requesting a site update. The platform is built by MyNinjaSite as part of the larger NinjaSite.ai network, and there's also a partner program for people who build and sell sites like this to local businesses professionally.
If you're not sure what your own site currently includes or want to see what an upgrade would add, the fastest way to know is to look at the live version of your site and compare it against this list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MyNinjaSite website really free, or is there a hidden monthly fee?
The core site is free with no monthly fee. You only pay if you choose to add an optional upgrade like a custom domain, business email, or booking system.
Do I own the website, and can I move it later?
The site is built and hosted for your business to use. If you want to move to a custom domain you control, that's available as an add-on rather than something you have to build from scratch elsewhere.
Will my free site show ads or a MyNinjaSite watermark?
No, your site displays your business information cleanly. It runs on a MyNinjaSite subdomain by default unless you add a custom domain.
Can I edit the text or photos on my own without asking someone else to do it?
You can request edits anytime at no cost. If you want to make changes yourself on demand, the self-serve editor add-on gives you direct control over text and photos.
