It all started in 2001, like any Internet fairy tale: 3 brothers, 2 thousand dollars and 1 server in the closet. The brothers Mokhtarzada figured everyone’s getting an email address… one day everyone will have a website, too. So they set out to create a site building service easy enough for their mother to use.

And they succeeded. Over 17 million members around the world have created their websites here. And we remain focused on the original mission. In fact, we guarantee that anyone with an Internet connection and something to say can easily create and share a complete, high-quality website.

Our Principles

We care about you. Not in a fake, syrupy kind of way. We care enough to build the best and simplest tools to help you establish a meaningful and successful online presence. What does that mean? Whatever you want it to. Whether you create a single page or a full website with a blog, a profile, photo albums, music, videos and even e-commerce, we want to make it easy and fun.

Oh, and free. Did we mention free?

We believe in free: live free, be free, freedom to express and choose. And we believe in you, our users. So we listen to what you have to say, and build upon your great ideas. And hopefully, you get a site that meets your needs. See how that caring thing works?

Our Business

After 5 years of steady growth, we gained a vibrant community with millions of members, and a lot more servers (though no longer in a closet). Freewebs received its Series A funding from Novak Biddle Venture Partners and Columbia Capital in August 2006. Phil Bronner (from Novak Biddle) and Arun Gupta (from Columbia Capital) joined the Board of Directors.
