Why We Do This

A good website shouldn't cost $5,000.

For many East Idaho small businesses, a professional website costs $3,000 to $10,000 to build and $30 to $100 per month to maintain. That's a real barrier for a new bakery in Rigby, a mechanic in Rexburg, or a farm stand outside Idaho Falls.

We built this program to remove that barrier entirely. If you run a legitimate business here in East Idaho, we'll build you a real website — for free.

"Every business in East Idaho deserves a professional web presence. Your zip code shouldn't determine your shot at being found online."

— East Idaho Cultural Foundation

Common Questions

Everything you
need to know

Can't find your answer?
hello@eastidaho.org

Is this really free?

Yes. EICF is a nonprofit funded by donations, sponsorships, and grants. We include a small "Produced by East Idaho Media Co." credit in your footer.

How long does it take?

Up to 4 weeks from approval to launch. Business Academy students get priority and can expect their site live in up to 2 weeks. The biggest variable is how fast you can provide content and feedback.

Do I own the website?

Yes. The site is yours. Want to move hosts later? We'll hand over the files.

Can I add features later?

Free program covers 5 pages. Need more? East Idaho Media Co. offers paid add-ons at fair rates.

My business isn't registered yet.

Use our free LLC tool first, then come back.

Who builds the site?

We're incredibly grateful to our production partner, East Idaho Media Co., who donates their time and talent to build these sites on our behalf. They're a local East Idaho team that produces the same quality you'd get from a paid agency. If your business needs additional services beyond what our free program covers — video production, advanced websites, marketing, or anything else — East Idaho Media Co. is available for hire and would love to work with you.
