First off, the first 2 or 3 results in Google searches that are lightly highlighted are paid for, so it doesn't necessarily mean they are the best one's to go with or voted for the most or have the best reviews, it just means their company had the advertising dollars to put it there. So don't fall for that, thinking you're gonna get the best deal. 

Before you start to build your web site, the first thing you need to do is decide what you need it for, what kind of content you want, and how many pages you will need. So get out a piece of paper and scratch out an outline real quick. And I say do it on paper, rather than typing up a document, because its easier to get creative with it and it also makes the visualization stick in your head better.  Then you have something to refer to as you are building it.

DECIDING ON WHICH SITE TO USE:

This can be tricky, because as you can see, they all say they are free. Although, some say additional things like "Free Hosting" or "Stunning flash sites" and my personal favorite "Build your own social network" which leads some people to think they can make their own personal "Facebook type" site for free. But just think about it, how is anyone going to offer you anything for free when it costs them for the hosting, as you are using their web space that they do pay for each month, and you are using the software that they purchased, which in some cases, may have cost them several hundred dollars or more, and they pay for the manpower to run the site, which in the case of Facebook is a couple hundred people. So how can they offer all of this for free?

ADVERTISING!

They place advertising on your site that other business have paid them for. In some cases, the advertising can be pretty annoying and obnoxious. So you decide to inquire what it costs to get that taken off and that can sometimes end up being a surprising amount. Only a few sites out there offer a month to month payment for this type of service. The same goes with hosting. Most of these so called FREE sites expect you to pay a whole year up front, which can end up costing you quite a bit. So, NOT FREE and not very fair if you think about it.

So now let us get into the actual building of the site.

After a little research, you find a site that you think is going to give you what you need, and you have check out the many template designs they have to offer, and you create your membership. Having never built a site, this is all going to be new for you, and most often, it's very confusing. So you start to read blogs and get answers to your question and you muddle through it the best you can, because you're on a tight budget and you're thinking you can save yourself some money by building your own web site. However, after a couple of days into it,  with nothing more than a basic template and a couple of pages that you figured out how to add test and a couple of images to, all you have to show for it is a site that is far from finished and an aching back and headache from squinting at the tiny text on the screen!

Yeahhhhhh that is saving you a lot of money, yup! Soooo, how much do you get paid an hour for work? And those 2 days that you just spent working on an unfinished product that still has you confused and is still going to end up costing you some money for hosting and a url (can't forget the fact that you have to purchase the domain for you company) has just taken 2 days out of your schedule, which if you think about it, has already cost you money and time.

If you aren't working a "Just Over Broke" minimum wage JOB, you are most likely making $100 or more a day. So for those 2 days, you have spent at least $200 already on a web site that you know is going to end up taking you at the very least, another 4 to 5 days, possibly more. And still, the finished product you will have is going to be a ready made template that you don't know the first thing about changing, and a page master that you have no idea how to edit or alter to look the way that you want it to, and a chiropractor bill to get your back into shape after stressing several days over the computer. And if you are like most Americans, you only get 2 days off each week, so that means this site is going to take you at least a month to build, using up all the free time that you have.

So tell me........ how is this new web site free?

Well, to be frank, it isn't. It has just cost you quite a bit, but you don't see that when you start out, all you see is that misleading text in the search engine results saying "Build a new Website for FREE!"

Take into consideration the amount of time and money that professional have invested to learn how to build web sites and ask yourself, would they do that if it was really that easy to build a web site for free? Of course they wouldn't, because if it was truly that simple to build a free web site, there would be no need for anyone to get a degree in Web and Graphic Design. I promise you, NOTHING IS FREE!!!

Do the your homework on this one folks, the math is easy for even a kid to figure out the solution. HIRE A WEB DESIGNER! Especially with so many out there now these days, the prices are competitive and reasonable, and I promise you, it will cost you less to hire someone than it will if you try to do it on your own.

If you have anymore question, feel free to ask me, I will shoot it to you straight!
