Creating a website for free

Sometimes small companies attempt to create a website for their business for free in order to save money. Of course, you can spend nothing if you are satisfied with a simple site. However, even in this case, there are several factors to consider.

Firstly, to extend the lifespan of the website, it must be regularly updated. To enable updating of textual and graphic content, the site needs to be connected to a CMS (Content Management System). There are a huge number of free CMS options available now, but connecting your site to them requires certain programming knowledge.

Any website, even a free one, must have a certain design. Let’s say you can download a design template developed by professional designers for free from a thematic portal. However, you will again have to seek the help of a programmer to connect the chosen template to the content management system.

If you want to create a website for free, you will have to use a free domain – a third-level domain. Unfortunately, this is not very good for your business. A website with a third-level domain does not inspire trust from users, and it is very difficult to promote in search engines. Saving on domain name registration will ultimately lead to loss of clients and a low ranking in search engines.

Creating a website for free will require you to host the web resource on free hosting. However, you may not have thought about the fact that placing your website on free hosting could lead to significant client loss. Free hosting services may not support your site’s management system, resulting in such low loading speed that visitors will leave the site before it has fully loaded.

Conclusion: If you want to create a truly quality website that will function and bring profit, order the website creation from a web studio. This is certainly not the cheapest option for creating a website, but in the end, you can get a high-quality product that will work equally fast in all internet browsers.
