  Do you mean an account is required to even fill in your page, or that filling in the page creates an account?
  
  If the former then it sounds like a permission issue such as Anon not having access to the following
  
  * CiviCRM: profile listings and forms
  * CiviCRM: access all custom data.
  
  These Permissions are usually part of default permissions afaik
  
  Within the Profile settings you want to make sure that you have not set **Account creation required** which can be found in the advanced settings: **Administer > Customize Data & Screens > Profile**.
