Get a Free Website for Your Local Business, Built for You
Most "free website" offers hand you a builder, a pile of templates and a weekend of work. The site you end up with looks like thousands of others, carries someone else's logo in the footer, and still needs you to write every word.
We're doing something different. GrabNear now designs and builds websites for local businesses, for free. Not a template you fill in: a one-off website made around your business, with a 3D first impression, your real Google reviews, and one-tap WhatsApp, call and directions. You don't touch a builder. You get a link.
The short version: send us your business name and Google Maps link → we design and build the site → you get a private preview → it goes live at yourbusiness.grabnear.com. Free, with no card and no contract. Request yours here.
See what we've built so far
Our first websites are for cafés and restaurants in Bengaluru, India. Every one of them is live, and every one is different. Open them on your phone and scroll: most of the design happens as you move.

See all of them, with notes on what makes each one special, on the website showcase.
What's in every free website
- A 3D first impression built around you. The rooftop café gets its glass domes, the patisserie gets its signature cake, the book café gets a book. It's the thing customers remember.
- Made for phones first. Most people find a local business on a phone, often while standing outside it. The sites are designed for that moment.
- One-tap contact. WhatsApp, call and directions buttons that work straight away.
- Your menu, services or prices, written clearly and in your voice.
- Your real Google reviews, shown with credit to each reviewer.
- Opening hours and location, plus the structured business details search engines read.
- Its own address at yourbusiness.grabnear.com that you can put on Google, Instagram, WhatsApp and printed menus.
How it works
Fill in the request form: business name, Google Maps link or address, and how to reach you. Add anything you want us to know, such as your best-known dish, the feel you're after, or photos you'd like to share.
We read your listing, your reviews and your photos to find what customers love about you, and build the whole site around that, from the 3D hero to the wording.
Nothing goes live before you've seen it. Send corrections, a newer menu or better photos and we'll update it.
Add it as the website on your Google Business Profile, put it in your Instagram bio and WhatsApp Business profile, and print it on menus and cards.
Free website builder vs a free website built for you
| Free website builder | GrabNear free website | |
|---|---|---|
| Who builds it | You | We do |
| Design | A template shared with many other sites | Designed from scratch for one business |
| Wording | You write it | We write it from your listing and reviews |
| Branding | Free plans usually show the builder's ads or logo | Your business up front, no ads |
| 3D and motion | Rare, and hard to do well | Built in, and made to run on phones |
| Time from you | Hours to days | About a minute for the request, then a look at the preview |
Builders are great if you enjoy designing and want full control. If you'd rather run your business, a done-for-you site gets you further with less effort. We compare the options in more detail in free website builders vs a done-for-you website.
Who it's for
Any local business with customers who look it up before visiting: cafés, restaurants and bakeries; salons, barbers and spas; clinics, physiotherapists and dentists; gyms, yoga and dance studios; boutiques and shops; tutors, plumbers, electricians and other service businesses. That's true whether you're in London, Toronto, Sydney, Dubai, Singapore, Austin or Bengaluru.
It's especially useful if:
- you have no website, and customers who search for you only find your map listing or a social page;
- your website is old, slow on phones, or doesn't show your menu, prices or reviews;
- your business has great reviews that nobody sees outside Google Maps.
Not sure you need one? Read why a Google listing alone isn't enough.
✅ You can also request a website for a business you love: your favourite café, your barber, a friend's shop. Tell us the business, and we'll reach out to the owner.
