There are services and platforms that allow you to create non-professional websites for FREE! Run is an opportunity!
In reality they are only free on the surface, obviously the company is offering the service for free to lure you in and then sell you other services and products to link to or use on the site, in the totality of cases they are limited and cannot be modified into real useful tools for your business.
So you will get a more or less decent site ONLY and only after buying almost all the ancillary services.
So in return
- Of your time to work on it yourself
- Of your patience to learn
- Of possible future purchases of other products/services
They offer you the ability to create one or more pages with content, upload a few images, and incur no hosting costs.
In fact, however, the free part is totally useless except for writing and having a minimum online presence, even if you end up with a page that will only ruin your online reputation for unprofessionalism...
We ourselves periodically launch free services to attract new customers (always of course with the purpose of selling other things as well) but with the difference that we always try to make available a complete and useful and well-crafted base that can be improved in the future with feature additions and that has all the qualities we discussed above providing you with maximum freedom and flexibility with a product that is still even free is good and professional.
It is not easy to understand and evaluate the price of an intangible service; in fact, when it comes to website creation, one of the most frequently asked questions is, "How much does it cost?"
The answer is not simple because it depends on several factors.
First of all, you need to understand what kind of website you want to make.
A simple personal blog will surely cost less than an e-commerce with hundreds of products.
Then there is the question of additional functionality: do you want to integrate a reservation system? Do you need a restricted area for users?
All of this affects the final price.
Another aspect to consider is design.
If you want something unique and customized and that is easily usable by users, the cost will be higher than using a simple template with the essentials.
Next, don't forget the importance of SEO in website implementation: investing in good optimization can make a difference in the long run, but it also entails additional costs.
Finally, there are the costs associated with site maintenance and updates and hosting, the "computer" (server) where all the data and your own site are hosted in order to be displayed on the Internet.
A website is not something you create and leave there-it must be constantly updated to function properly and remain secure.
In general, we can say that for a professional website the cost can range from 2,500 to 7,000 euros and more, and can increase significantly depending on the specific needs of the project.
