Free Websites, Are They To Good to be True?

By Greg Trimble


Uncertainty has certainly set in with American business owners. Pressure is building from around the globe and continues to grind the small business owners into the ground. Multiple factors contribute to the fact that small businesses are suffering, and therefore looking for some relief. What can you do to get more traffic, and increase your customer base without spending a fortune on advertising? Whether you are a new business owner or seasoned veteran, you are looking for the answer.

The answer is without question, the Internet. Now and especially in the future, you will need to have a good website in order to compete in your market or in your industry. Many companies no longer have or can rely on their physical storefront. Phone books are now used as booster seats, and everyone you can think of has a smart phone or PC that enables them to research your company before they even give you a call or come through your doors. Its important to understand that your website has now become your modern storefront. You would never leave your storefront unappealing and expect to get customers, so why would you leave your website in disarray. The question looms, "how do I find a nice website on a small budget".

A high end design firm, a do-it-yourself solution, and a free custom website solution. Each of these three solutions have their time and place. However the free custom website solution seems to have little to no drawbacks. Search Google for companies that will build a free custom website for you and you may be surprised at what you find.

Now for the explanation. The DIY (Do-it-yourself) free websites seem like a good idea at first glance, but the limitations are substantial. You find yourself looking at hundreds of generic templates, and necessarily trying to learn a new software package that is allowing you to build your website out of preset generic fields. Ultimately you end up spending hours trying to create a professional looking website and end up with an amateur looking assemblage of generic blocks, pictures, texts, and color schemes.

Our third choice, free custom website providers, give us another look at how to get a custom website built. This solution gives you a custom website that is both high quality and no cost. Not low cost, but no cost. Most of these solutions dedicate a web design professional to you free of charge so that your website will exude professionalism.

Free Websites can most definitely be taken seriously. In my opinion, it is the only way to go. Start with a free website and if you strike it rich, then you can spend thousands on a high end web design firm.
