Most of the entrepreneurs and initial start-ups get involved in creating a site with cheapest possible options often called as free website builder. Many businesses offer such free claims which does more harm to the small-sized businesses that have no idea about how to design a website for their business. It is a proven fact that nothing comes for free, thus when you pay nothing you get no value added advantage.
With this type of software you may result in the following:
No Domain Name
By using this software you don’t get your own domain name. If this is what you are looking for then Google offers a good service for free site but with that you may not add value to your business and ultimately it creates unprofessional look for your business.
Problems in Free Hosting
This software offers free hosting but your site is kept on the same server where already millions of other free sites are present which results in slow speed and limited memory storage. Due to slow speed your potential customers switch to the competitor’s websites. Hosting takes care of effectiveness of your website. Results in favorable search engines and it helps to increase business queries and sales with better functionality and Search optimization.
No Functionality
When you wish to go for customized options, the software company may not allow and provide you with limited website features or may ask for extra charges for customized features. It is then you come to know that nothing is offered for free. However, when you have your own site you are free to make changes with its functionality or designs.
Full of Ads
Free website builder normally places a lot of ads on your site. This is basically a trade off that your business has to take. With the ads floating, your site looks unprofessional and unattractive. It may also restrict your business from making money from your site.
No blogging
This type of software companies use HTML or PHP-based scripting language that makes it difficult to include a blogging feature or they may charge an additional amount to include this feature on your site.
Loss of credibility
When your site fails to attract the target audience, fails to convey brand ideas and philosophy, then it simply fails to build any trust and credibility among the potential customers. Your business integrity is vital to set up a strong, lasting e-commerce business with trust and credibility earned fairly from potential customers assuring business growth, sales, and profits.
