> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## How to use your Own Domain Name without Upgrading to Smart or Pro

In the SimDif website builder, the paid Smart and Pro plans do not include a custom domain name. Instead, SimDif allows users to use a custom domain with any site tier: Starter (Free), Smart, or Pro. This is a feature that many other website builders do not allow on free plans.

To purchase a domain for a site, navigate to Site Settings > "Website Identity" > "Site Address - Domain Name" and tap the "Purchase your own domain name with YorName" button. YorName is a domain name purchasing and management application developed by The Simple Different Company, designed to simplify the process and minimize technical complexity. Every domain purchased through YorName includes a free SimDif Starter website.

If you already own a domain, tap the "Transfer an existing domain name to YorName" button. Because SimDif features a mobile-complete workflow, these domain management tasks can be completed entirely within the SimDif app on iOS or Android, or via a web browser.
