Hi,
Personally I would steer clear of free websites, they tend to stick their logo on your page. For me it's the same as only using a mobile number for your business or a yahoo email address. It suggests to me that people are dipping their toe in the water, and refusing to make a proper commitment. Add to that the hidden costs, take the Google one for instance. £50 a year is a lot. If you think that you can get a domain name for a few pounds a year, and hosting for £1 a year. Thats less than a fiver. Thats £150 over 3 years for a free site and £20 for a paid for site which you own the domain for.
If you head to peopleperhour or digitalpoint you'll find someone to design your site for next to nothing. The most important part, I would suggest, are the word. Thats what search engines will find. Fancy graphics are all well and good, but if you rank bottom few people will see them.
Hope this has given you something to think about.
Regards
Kris
