Google recently released a service that allows businesses to create a customized mini website through Google—for free. For larger businesses or those that already have a website, Google Sites probably won’t be the best option. But for business owners who just want a few simple pages that give basic information, Google Sites is a cheaper and quicker way to kick start your online presence.
Google Sites is a great low-tier website option, but for business owners who want a high-quality, fully designed website built from scratch, there are many web designers out there who can give you a more detailed design. You can also find something in between these two options; a cost-effective website platform that gives you more design flexibility and additional features that Google Sites doesn’t have. A service like the Locallogy Rapid Platform gets your website up and running in just 10 business days for the fraction of the cost of a website that is built from scratch.
It might not be free—like Google Sites—but you get a lot more bang for your buck.
