Creating a free website: what is really possible?
You can start free, build your site and see it working. Your own domain and higher limits depend on the plan, all listed on the pricing page. The domain itself is bought from a domain registrar.
Your website from your words
Create a website in Arabic that starts with your own words
Write what you want from your website in your own words, and Fanann designs, builds and publishes it: Arabic right-to-left pages, contact forms, bookings or orders, and your own domain. Every later change is a sentence in the chat.

The short answer
Fanann is a platform for designing and creating websites by description: you write what your business does and what the site should do, in Arabic or English, and it builds correct right-to-left Arabic pages with their forms and bookings and publishes them on your domain. You then change it by chat or by clicking any element, without a programmer, and you can start free.

What people usually look for when creating a website
The questions that come before every new website, each with a straight answer.
How to create a website, step by step
Decide the site’s goal and audience, describe it in two sentences, review the plan, test the preview on a phone, then publish and connect your domain. The full walk-through is in the guide to building a website with AI.
A web design company, or build it yourself?
A company makes sense if you want someone to handle everything and have the budget and time. With Fanann you build the first version yourself and change it whenever you like, and you can still hire a designer for content and photos.
Compare with agenciesWhat a website costs
The cost is made of the domain, hosting, design, content and upkeep. With Fanann your subscription covers building and hosting according to the plan, and the domain and content remain on you. Estimate your project in the cost calculator.
A business website that sells or takes orders
If your goal is to sell, you need a store with a cart, payments and an orders board, explained on create an online store. If your goal is bookings or enquiries, a website is enough.
A real-estate, restaurant or clinic website
Every trade has its pages: real estate needs listings, filters and viewing requests; a restaurant needs a menu and reservations; a clinic needs appointments. Describe your trade or start from the templates.
Modules
What your website can include
Common pages and features you pick from, adding anything missing with a sentence.
Correct Arabic pages

Contact forms and WhatsApp
A form that reaches you, a chat button and a map to your location.
Bookings and appointments
Pick a service and a slot, a confirmation for the customer and a board where you see bookings.
Portfolio and listings
Your projects, properties or menu, with filters and a page for each item.
Your own domain

Plan your website in a minute
Pick your business and the pages you want, and watch the site structure take shape. Copy the request or start with it.
I want an Arabic website for my business: a restaurant or café. It includes: Home page, About us, Services and Contact form and WhatsApp. The design is calm white and blue, phone-first, and I want it on my own domain.
Excel to system
From your Excel sheet to a website with your content
Your services, prices, properties or menu are probably already in an Excel file. Upload it and Fanann turns its rows into searchable, filterable pages and cards, so you copy nothing by hand.
- Every row becomes a card or a page
- You then edit the content from the control centre
- Add new rows whenever you like
An honest comparison
A template platform, a design company, or Fanann?
A comparison of categories, not of specific products.
| Template website platform | Web design company | A site you build with Fanann | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How you start | Pick a template and fill it by drag and drop | Meetings, a quote and a contract | Describe your site in your words and review the plan |
| Right-to-left Arabic | Varies from template to template | Depends on the team’s experience | Arabic-first on every page |
| Custom features | Limited to the platform’s add-ons | Possible, at extra cost and time | Bookings, listings and dashboards on request |
| Later changes | Yourself, within the template’s limits | A new request and a wait | Yourself, by chat or by click |
| What remains on you | Content and photos | Follow-up and review | Content, photos and review |
If you want someone to handle everything, a design company is an understandable choice. Fanann suits those who want to own their site and change it themselves.
