What $0 means

Design and build fee: $0

1stStep.ai does not purchase or reimburse domains, hosting, business email, paid software, premium plugins, licensed photography, or other third-party services. You provide a domain you already own or purchase it directly in your own account. The offer covers the agreed strategy, design, development, launch setup, and the existing development compute used by 1stStep.ai—not purchases for the client. E-commerce, portals, custom apps, advanced integrations, full branding, extensive copywriting, and work beyond the agreed scope are not included.

Built for operating businesses in Morris County.

Applications are reviewed in the order received. The first ten that satisfy the local, authority, and readiness requirements can move into a written project scope.

What does your business do, and what should the new website help accomplish?

A few useful sentences are enough. Do not include passwords or sensitive customer information.

I confirm that this is an operating business based in the selected Morris County municipality, I am authorized to apply, and—if selected—I agree to timely participation, a written project scope, permission for the completed public website to be featured in the 1stStep.ai portfolio, and responsibility for supplying or paying providers directly for any domain, hosting, or other third-party service the project requires. Optional: email me occasional future local-business website tips and offers from 1stStep.ai. I can unsubscribe at any time.

Private application. Used to evaluate and respond to this offer. There is no automatic newsletter signup; future marketing email requires the separate optional box above. See the Privacy Policy and Terms.

Questions before you apply.

The important boundaries are here in plain language. Exact project terms are confirmed with selected businesses in writing.

Why is the website build free?

This is a limited local portfolio initiative. It lets 1stStep.ai invest directly in ten Morris County businesses while building more visible local website work and relationships.

Does 1stStep.ai buy my domain or hosting?

No. 1stStep.ai does not purchase domains, hosting, email, plugins, or other paid services for this offer. You connect a domain you already own or purchase it directly in your own account. If a provider requires a paid plan, the business approves and pays that provider directly. No client expense is incurred by 1stStep.ai.

Can I apply without a current website?

Yes. A current website is optional. The business must still be active, locally based, and ready to provide accurate content and feedback.

How are the ten businesses selected?

Applications are reviewed in received order. The first ten that meet the Morris County, authority, readiness, scope, and portfolio requirements may be accepted. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance.
