A free business website: what it really costs
Free websites exist: many online builders offer one, and Google offers a basic presence through your business profile. The real question is not the site’s price but what it costs you in lost requests.
Free website builders
Builders often have a free tier with their name in your address and ads on your pages. For a service business it is a start, but the form sends an email you read at night and nobody follows up the customer.
The “free” website included with Crescendo
At Crescendo, the website is not sold alone: it is included in both plans, with the system that answers every request within a minute. On Essential, it becomes yours after 12 months. So it is not free; it comes at no extra cost.
What to check before choosing
Who owns the domain? Can you leave with the site? What happens when someone fills in the form? These three questions matter more than the starting price.
Essential $499/month, or Growth $1,999/month with managed ads and Google profile. Prices in CAD, plus GST/HST. See both plans
