Auto Summary
You can build a free website where Notion is your editor and visitors see a real domain (like yourgroup.org). The original tool, Fruition, broke after a 2023 Notion change and is abandoned — don't use it. The maintained free alternative is the open-source NoteHost (github.com/velsa/notehost), deployed on Cloudflare Workers' free tier; total cost is about $1/month (just the domain) if you already use Notion. Some setup required (DNS + npm), but no coding. Zero-setup paid options: Simple.ink (~$9/mo), Super.so ($16/mo+), Potion.so. Nonprofits can get a free Notion Plus plan via Notion for Nonprofits.

Free website using Notion as your CMS (2026 guide)

You can still build a free website where Notion is the editor and your visitors see a real domain like yourgroup.org. The tool that pioneered this — Fruition — broke after a 2023 Notion update and has not been maintained since. Don't use it. The sections below cover what works in 2026.

Who this is for

  • Nonprofits, small businesses, or individuals who already use Notion and want a public website without paying for a CMS.
  • You're comfortable copying a config file and pointing a domain at Cloudflare. No coding required, but you'll touch DNS settings.

What you'll spend

  • Notion: Free plan works for a personal site. Free Plus plan for nonprofits via the Notion for Nonprofits program.
  • Cloudflare: Free plan covers Workers (the piece that serves your site) up to 100,000 requests per day.
  • Domain name: ~$10–15/year from any registrar. This is the only required cost.
Total: about $1/month if you already have Notion.

If you need truly free and don't mind setup work, use NoteHost. If you want zero setup and can pay, use Simple.ink or Super.

How to set up a free site with NoteHost

  1. Build your page in Notion. Make it a public page (Share → Publish to web). Copy the public URL.
  1. Buy a domain from any registrar (Namecheap, Porkbun, Cloudflare Registrar). Cloudflare Registrar sells at cost — usually cheapest.
  1. Add the domain to Cloudflare (free plan). Cloudflare will give you two nameservers. Update them at your registrar.
  1. Install NoteHost on your computer: npm install -g notehost. Requires Node.js.
  1. Run notehost create yourdomain.com. It generates a config file. Edit it to map your Notion page URLs to clean paths (e.g. /about → your Notion About page).
  1. Deploy with notehost deploy. This pushes a Cloudflare Worker that proxies Notion through your domain.
  1. Test. Visit your domain. You should see your Notion page with your URL in the address bar.

Common pitfalls

  • Notion search and comments don't work through any of these proxies. Visitors see a read-only site.
  • Databases render slowly on the free Cloudflare plan during traffic spikes. Fine for most small sites.
  • SEO is limited. Notion's HTML is heavy and not great for Google. Paid tools (Super, Simple.ink) handle this better.
  • Don't use Fruition tutorials from 2020–2022. They reference Cloudflare Workers code that no longer matches Notion's HTML structure.
