How it works
Three steps from idea to live link.
1
Apply with the basics
Share your business name, trade, service area, contact information, services, and any relevant brand or project details.
2
Confirm fit and build
Slate confirms whether the business fits the current starter-site scope, then builds the selected project from the supplied details.
3
Share and improve
Use the finished link in profiles, messages, business materials, and follow-up. Move to a custom website project later if the business needs more control or capability.

FAQ
Questions about the partner program.
The goal is scope clarity: a focused starter site for businesses that fit, and a clear next path for those that need more.
Is the build really free?
Selected starter-site projects have no build fee within the stated scope. The program is not a full custom website project.
Who is eligible?
Active contractor or home-service businesses that fit the current starter-site scope and can provide accurate details promptly.
Do I own the site?
You can use the site and share its link freely. Slate Systems hosts the free starter version; the program does not imply ownership transfer.
Can I use my own domain?
The starter version uses a personalized shareable website URL. Connecting a custom domain is available through a separate paid website project where appropriate.
How long does it take?
Timing depends on fit confirmation and complete inputs. Selected projects are built quickly after fit is confirmed and complete details are received.
What if I need a full website or redesign?
A custom website or redesign is a better fit for broader needs, including more pages, ecommerce, custom functionality, or a larger strategy.
