GenWeb

How it works

There are four steps and you can stop after any of them. Nothing is charged until step four.

  1. 1

    You describe the business

    Genni asks on the front page — what it's called, what you do, where you are — one question at a time. Answer the way you'd say it to a customer standing in front of you: "home bakery in Chennai, birthday cakes and brownies, orders two days ahead" is plenty. She carries on asking inside, in English, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam or Hindi.

  2. 2

    She builds it while you watch

    Genni works out what a business like yours needs on a page, picks a look, writes the words and puts it together. The preview fills in beside the conversation as she goes, so you're not waiting at a spinner wondering what you'll get.

    Where she doesn't know something — your phone number, your exact address, your opening hours — she leaves a gap and asks, rather than inventing something plausible. A website with a made-up number on it is worse than no website.

  3. 3

    You change it by asking

    "Make the header warmer." "Put the phone number at the top." "Add samosas at ₹15." You type it, she does it. There's no editor to learn, nothing to drag, and no waiting for someone to get back to you. Your plan includes credits for this — 500 a year, or 50 a month — and beyond those a change is ₹15.

    If you'd rather not do this part yourself, ask us to call you and we'll go through it together. That's free.

  4. 4

    You publish it

    This is the first time money comes into it. ₹500 a year puts one page live on a genweb.in address; ₹3,000 a year puts up to eight pages on a domain of your own, and buys and renews that domain for you. Hosting, certificates and the enquiry inbox are part of both, not extras. There's a monthly option at ₹300 if you'd rather spread it.

    After that, every enquiry someone sends through the site lands in one list and in your email. The full price list is here.

Start at step one

It takes about a minute and costs nothing.
