Auction rules

What is for sale

  • Site of the day: a one-page website, auctioned every day.
  • Site of the week: a multi-page website, auctioned once a week.
  • The site of the week has up to 50 pages across all languages combined: 10 pages in 5 languages count as 50.
  • Anyone can take part: a person or a company from any country.
  • The winner gets a new site built for their business.
The site of the day card on the auction page
This is how the site of the day looks on the auction page: current price, time left and the “Place a bid” button.

Bids

  • Bidding starts at $0, and the first bid can be $0 too.
  • After that, each new bid must be at least $1 above the current price. You cannot place an equal bid.
  • Bids are in US dollars. Euro and zloty amounts on the page are estimates.
  • The highest bid when the auction ends wins.
  • If you win, you pay your bid and nothing more.
  • You can cancel a bid, except in the last hour of bidding.
  • Equal amounts happen only when automatic bidding maximums match. Then there are several winners, and each of them gets a site.
  • By bidding, you agree that we will publish a link to your finished site in the auction results.

Email confirmation and cancelling

  • After you bid, we email you a 6-digit code. The bid joins the auction once you enter the code.
  • You have 10 minutes for the code. No code: the bid is cancelled. Until then, other bidders do not see it.
  • Once you confirm your email, later bids from that email in the same browser don't need a code.
  • You can cancel a bid under “My bids”, except in the last hour of bidding.
  • If the leader cancels, the next highest bid leads again.
  • To protect the auction from fake bids, we look at IP addresses and bidding patterns. Suspicious bids join the auction only after the brief is filled in.

The brief

  • The brief is a short form about your business. We build the site from it.
  • Within an hour of your first bid, fill in enough of the brief for us to start the site.
  • The answers we need are listed under "My bids" on the auction page.
  • Too late: your bid is removed from the auction. Fill in the brief and you can bid again.
  • Automatic bidding and bid repeat work only once the brief has these answers.

When bidding ends

  • Site of the day: every day at 18:00 Warsaw time.
  • Site of the week: every Tuesday at 18:00 Warsaw time.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes moves the end of the auction 5 minutes later.
  • Bidding never runs past 19:00 Warsaw time.

Automatic bidding

  • Set your maximum bid.
  • When someone outbids you, we bid $1 more than them for you, up to your maximum.
  • Automatic bids count as yours: you cancel them the same way as a normal bid.

Repeating a bid

  • Check "Repeat my bid" and choose how long: up to 365 days for the site of the day, up to 52 weeks for the site of the week.
  • Didn't win? Your bid then carries over to the next auction of the same kind, with the same amount and maximum.
  • You can turn the repeat off at any time.

If you win

  • Within 24 hours of our message that you won, reply to it and confirm you want the site.
  • No reply: the site may go to the bidder with the next highest bid.

What the price includes

  • Design and build from your brief.
  • One round of changes after we show you the site.
  • A preview at our web address, hosted free.
  • You provide the text, photos and logo in the brief.
  • Not included: a domain name and third-party paid services.
  • After payment you get the site files and the rights to the site.

Timing

  • The site is ready 24 hours after the auction ends if the brief already has everything we need.
  • If something is missing: 24 hours after you give it to us.
  • After we show you the site, you have 5 working days to accept it or turn it down.
  • Payment is due within 7 days after you accept the site.

If you don't like it

  • Don't like the site? Turn it down and pay nothing.
  • You can turn it down until you accept the site. No reason needed.
