Understand free drafts and paid publishing

Create and improve a private website for free, then choose a paid plan only when it should become public.

First Look is for creating, reviewing, and improving a private website. It can use included credits and buy the smallest credit pack once. Publishing to a public DriftLess address and exporting a self-hosted release require an active Maker or Studio plan.

How to use this

  1. 1Use the free account to complete the first website and review the real result.
  2. 2Spend included credits on focused improvements when needed.
  3. 3Buy the Touch-Up pack once if the free account needs a little more room.
  4. 4Choose Maker or Studio when customers should be able to visit the website.

Keep in mind

  • Buying the one-time free-account pack does not unlock publishing.
  • The Pricing page is the source of truth for current prices, credits, and plan limits.
