Why Not a Free or Cheap Site that I Can Create Myself?

1. Anyone can build a website but will customers be able to find it?  Besides dynamic design and function, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the key factor to a good website. It is a waste of time and money if people can’t find you in a Google keyword search without knowing your name.  Most of these free sites are built with static pages and do not have a built in feature for SEO.

2. There is a reason that companies offer free or cheap websites. (1) They plan to make their money on advertising that they put on YOUR site, (2) your web hosting rates may significantly increase after a year or two, (3) they will try to sell you advertising so that people can find your site.

If you are building a website just for the fun of it, just because you can, a free or cheap one is just fine for that purpose. IF however, you are hoping to attract potential customers, increase sales and build customer loyalty, Digital Seasons of Life can build a site that shows up in search engine listings. You will also need to offer valuable content that potential customers are searching for.
