Getting started
Filro delivers digital implementation for growing US businesses. After payment and brief submission, our team kicks off your project asynchronously with weekly milestones — no technical background required.
Prerequisites
- A valid email (used for sign-in and notifications).
- Basic business assets: logo (if any), photos, descriptions, contact info.
- A stakeholder available to answer questions during the implementation window.
Step by step
- Choose a plan on the pricing page (Launch, Growth, Revenue System, or Scale).
- Create your account with email/password or Google sign-in.
- Complete checkout via Stripe (US and international cards accepted).
- Fill out the implementation brief — brand, contact, catalog, and reference materials.
- Your project moves into production on the schedule confirmed for your plan.
Implementation flow
Here's what happens between your payment and go-live:
- Payment confirmation: Stripe webhook validates the transaction and unlocks the brief.
- Brief collection: ~15–30 minutes to complete. Everything is editable later.
- Internal kickoff: we review materials, flag gaps, and confirm scope.
- Production: our team implements against the plan with weekly milestones.
- QA: each screen reviewed on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Image optimization and SEO baseline applied.
- Publishing: temporary domain
your-business.filro.siteimmediately; custom domain runs in parallel (24–72h depending on registrar).
What to share (and how)
The more detail you provide, the faster we deliver. Full checklist by brief section:
Brand identity
- Business name and industry (food, beauty, retail, services, etc.).
- Short description (1 line) and long description (2–3 paragraphs).
- Tagline (optional but recommended).
- Brand colors (HEX preferred, or a reference).
- Logo: transparent PNG or SVG (ideal); JPG works on a neutral background.
Contact and social
- Primary phone number (used as the main CTA).
- Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn (full URLs).
- Physical address (if you serve customers on site) — we show it on Google Maps.
- Business hours by day of week.
Catalog
- List of products or services with name, price, description.
- Images: jpg/png/webp, ~1MB each, ideally square (1080×1080).
- Categories (menu sections, portfolio areas, collections).
Promotions and references
- Coupons, bundles, time-limited discounts.
- Reference material: a link to a site you like, a brief document, or a free-form description of the feel you want.
Payment & plans
Billing structure
- Implementation (one-time): charged once, unlocks production.
- Monthly: billed monthly on the same date; covers hosting, maintenance, and iteration windows.

Domain & hosting
Your page lives at your-business.filro.site immediately after publishing. To use a custom domain:
- Buy the domain from a registrar (e.g. Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy).
- Point the CNAME record to
cdn.filro.site(apex/root: use ALIAS or ANAME). - Let the team know; SSL/HTTPS is provisioned automatically within ~1h of DNS propagation.
Costs
Domains are paid directly to the registrar (typically $10–20/yr for a .com). Filro doesn't charge to connect a custom domain.
