Many small-business owners can benefit form this option. Especially this is true when it comes to small businesses that don't sell their products and services online.
Let's say you are a painter (similar concept applies to other trades)
Six Free Pages:
- Homepage
- About Us
- Contact Us/ Request a Quote
- Customer Testimonials and Reviews
- Photo Gallery: Pictures of your Interior and Exterior painting jobs
- Possibly, a page with maintenance tips
If you have a physical location, you can add GoogleMap to your About Us or Contact Us page, or any other page of your choice.
That's right, instead of spending hundreds of dollars on hiring a web developer, you can build a professional site by yourself and just keep paying a small web hosting fee and domain renewal fee. And yes you can keep updating your content for free. No need to pay your web designer $50 every time he makes a small change for you.
