Five websites a month,
built for free.
Every month I build five WordPress websites for free, for small businesses, studios and associations, already translated with TranslateRocket. The work is free. You only pay for what costs real money, in your own name: the domain and the hosting.

What you get
A small, clean, fast website that speaks your visitors’ language from day one.
Design and build
Up to 5 pages on WordPress, with a free, fast theme, made to fit your business.
Your language plus 3
Translated with TranslateRocket, each language on its own address, ready for Google in every country.
Ready for phones
Looks right on every screen, loads fast, with the SEO basics done properly.
A contact form
Messages arrive in your inbox, in any language your visitors write in.
It is yours
Domain, hosting and site are in your name, with your own login. No lock-in.
One round of changes
You see the whole site, in every language, before it goes online, and ask for changes.
What is free, and what is not
Straight talk, so there are no surprises later.
Free
- My work: design, building, setup and translation
- TranslateRocket, free forever, with every feature
- Free theme and free plugins
- One round of changes before going live
At your cost, in your name
- Domain and hosting (from a few euros a month: I help you choose)
- Premium themes or plugins, only if you want them
- Photos and videos: you provide them, or we look together at a stock photo or video subscription, paid by you
- Anything beyond the package (more pages, an online shop, ongoing maintenance): a separate quote
How it works
Fill in the form below. It takes three minutes.
If your site is a good fit, I write to you within a few days.
Texts, logo, photos. I help you put them in order.
In three to four weeks. You check it in every language.
And it becomes one of the examples on this site.
- A real business, professional studio or association, with its own texts and logo.
- Legal content. No adult content, gambling, weapons or political campaigns.
- Up to 5 pages, your language plus up to 3 others, a free theme. More is possible with a quote.
- Domain, hosting, paid licences, photos and videos are at your cost and in your name.
- You allow me to show the finished site as an example: its name, address, screenshots and your feedback.
- Five places a month. I choose among the requests by fit and order of arrival, and I can say no. Requests that do not get a place stay on the list for the next month.

Labs is a free add-on for TranslateRocket: it translates your site with no key, from any browser — phones included — and does more of the work by itself.
Questions
Why for free?
Real websites are the best test there is for TranslateRocket, and a finished site is an honest example for other people. You get a website; the plugin gets better and gets known.
What is the catch?
There is none hidden: you pay the domain and the hosting, in your name, and you allow me to show your site as an example. Everything else in the package is free.
Why would you do this for free?
Because a plugin gets better from real sites with real problems, not from my own test pages. TranslateRocket is free and has no paid version: what keeps it going is people using it and telling me what breaks. If one day you want to chip in, there is a donation page, and that is the whole business model. It is entirely optional and it changes nothing about the work or the support you get.
Who owns the website?
You do. It is on your hosting, under your domain, with your own administrator login.
What about maintenance?
It is not included. WordPress and TranslateRocket update themselves; if you want someone to look after the site, we can agree on it separately.
What if my request does not get a place this month?
It stays on the list and is considered again next month. You can withdraw it at any time with one e-mail.
How your data is used (privacy notice for these forms)
Who: Federico Caputo, author of TranslateRocket, hello@translaterocket.com. What: the data you write in the form. Why: to answer your request and, if it is accepted, to build your website or send your Labs key (legal basis: steps taken at your request before an agreement); to show your finished site as an example, as agreed in the conditions; to send you news, only if you ticked that box (consent, which you can withdraw at any time). How long: requests that are not accepted are deleted after 12 months; for accepted ones, as long as the collaboration lasts and as required by law afterwards; the news list until you unsubscribe. Who else sees it: nobody, except the technical providers that keep this site and its e-mail running. Your data is never sold or given to third parties. Your rights: access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection and portability, by writing to hello@translaterocket.com; you can also complain to the data protection authority (in Italy, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).
