Flopix Free Trial: Build Your Website Without Paying

You want a website for your business, but you're hesitant to jump in without knowing whether the tool will suit you? The Flopix free trial was designed for exactly this situation: you build your website without paying, it goes live right away, and you have a few days to judge for yourself before your subscription starts.

Shop owners, tradespeople, freelancers, nonprofits: many put off creating their website because they lack time or are afraid of getting it wrong. The trial removes both obstacles at once. A few minutes are enough to get a first result, and you can still cancel without owing anything.

In this guide, we explain how the trial works, what you can do during those few days, the best way to make the most of it, and the answers to the questions we hear most often.

What is the Flopix free trial?

Flopix lets you create a business website with a guided form and a live preview, on a computer or on your phone. You answer simple questions (your business name, a short introduction, your hours, your contact details), add your logo and photos, choose your colors, and the website builds itself before your eyes. No code, no technical skills.

The free trial applies to your first subscription. It isn't a limited version or a demo: it's your real website, published under your name, which you can show your customers from the very first minute.

Three days or seven days, depending on your plan

The length of your trial depends on the plan you choose when you get started:

• 3 free days with the monthly plan, ideal for quickly checking how easy it is to use;
• 7 free days with the annual plan, which give you time to gather feedback from the people around you and to add options.

Who is the trial for?

Anyone signing up for their first Flopix subscription: a baker, a plumber, a fitness coach, a photographer, a neighborhood association, a hair salon. Whether you already have a website elsewhere or this is your very first online presence, it works exactly the same way.

Why a trial rather than a demo?

A demo shows an example dreamed up by someone else, with perfect photos and copy written for the occasion. It tells you nothing about what you will get with your own content and your own schedule. The trial answers the only question that matters: can I, on my own and quickly, end up with a website that feels like me? And since the website is actually published, you can also see how your customers react, which no demo can offer.

Building your website without paying: the steps

The process is deliberately short. Here is what happens, from the first click to the end of the trial:

• You create your website with the guided form: business name, logo, introduction, contact details, photos, colors. The live preview shows you the result as you go.
• You choose your plan, monthly or annual, which sets the length of your trial.
• You save your card: it is stored securely by Stripe, the payment provider, but nothing is charged during the trial.
• Your website goes live immediately, at a personalized address in your name, with a QR code included.
• You test freely: text, photos, colors and contact details can be changed as many times as you like from your account.
• At the end of the trial, there are two possibilities: either you have canceled from your account and pay nothing, or you do nothing and your subscription starts automatically.

What's useful to have ready

Nothing is required to get started, but having a few things on hand will save you valuable time:

• your logo, if you have one;
• up to five photos or videos of your business: storefront, work, products, team;
• three or four sentences that say who you are and what you offer;
• your hours, address, phone number and email;
• the links to your social media accounts.

If something is missing, don't worry: you can add it later, since edits are unlimited and show up immediately.

What your website includes during the trial

During the trial, you get the same service as a subscriber. As soon as it goes live, your website includes:

• a personalized address, in the form of a subdomain in your name;
• a QR code to print on your business cards, flyers or shop window;
• a layout that works on computers and phones alike;
• hosting in France with OVHcloud, with updates and security included;
• strictly essential cookies only, in compliance with the GDPR.

Options you can add

Your website can then grow to fit the needs of your trade. You can add, for example, a contact or quote request form, customer reviews, a link to your Google reviews, an image + text block, a text with a call-to-action button, or even the online sale of a product (or a subscription) paid directly into your own Stripe account. For visibility, search indexing with Google Search Console, visitor statistics and a custom domain name round out the package.

Using the trial to test one or two of these options is the best way to find out whether they will really be useful to you day to day.

Making the most of your trial days

A few days go by fast. To make an informed decision, here is a simple way to organize your trial.

Day one: publish a presentable version

Don't aim for perfection. The goal for day one is a clean website with a clear introduction, your contact details and a few sharp photos. The live preview lets you check how it looks on a phone as you type, which matters, since many of your visitors will arrive on their mobile.

The following days: put the website to the test

Share the address with two or three people you trust, display the QR code at the counter, send the link to a loyal customer. Their reactions are worth more than any theory. Take the opportunity to fix a piece of text, replace a photo or add a contact form: every change shows up immediately, so you can judge how simple the tool is on real tasks.

Before the end: make your decision

Take quick stock: was the website easy to create? Did your edits take a few minutes or an entire evening? Did the people close to you find your hours and phone number easily? If the answers are positive, the tool is right for you.

Put your trial end date in your calendar. If the website suits you, there's nothing to do: it stays online with everything you've put on it. If it doesn't, cancel from your account before the end and you pay nothing.

Free trial FAQ

Will I be charged during the trial?

No. Your card is saved so that your subscription can start at the end of the trial if you decide to continue, but no charge is made during the 3 or 7 days. The card is handled securely by Stripe.

How do I cancel?

From your account, before the trial ends. You then pay nothing at all, and you don't have to give any reason. If you continue, the subscription has no commitment: you can cancel it at any time.

Can I combine the trial with another offer?

The free trial can be combined with the free month from the referral program: you get both. However, it cannot be combined with a discount code. It applies only to your first subscription.

Does my website stay online after the trial?

Yes, if you continue: your subscription starts automatically and your website keeps running without interruption, with all the work you've already done. Your text, photos and settings are kept exactly as they are.
