Oh, I know there are lots of template site builders out there. You can go here or there and build a web site for free. You can pay them for hosting, and sometimes you can get hosting for free as well. If you build one of these template sites, your site will look like every other site built with that template.
Well, think about something my husband once said to me. He said, “Do you have a $10 head? Then buy a $10 helmet to protect it. If your head is worth more, then you need a better helmet.” If you take that to the web, then what is your business worth? If it is a viable, worthwhile business then why would you promote it with a free web site?
Don’t get me wrong. If you are a kid in school wanting to create a web site to share information with friends or just for the fun of it, these templates are great. If you are a small potatoes organization and don’t care who knows, then I guess they are fine. But if you want to give a professional impression to your visitors on the web, then why wouldn’t you want a web site that was professionally built?
