Get the most bang for your buck with your website. Here are free services you should look for.

  1. Free hosting
    Don’t overwhelm yourself with the technicalities of setting up hosting.  Your design company should be able to provide hosting for little to no cost.
  2. Get  Googled
    • Google Apps will host up up to 100 email accounts for free.  Your email will be sent and received at your domain while allowing you to use the Gmail interface, or your favorite email client such as Outlook.
    • Google Analytics is pretty much a no-brainer.  You can view traffic, conversions, location, referring sites, and trends.
    • You can also see what keywords your site is listed under, using Google Webmaster Tools. The Webmaster Dashboard also displays inbound links, indexed pages, and page rank.
  3. Blog
    Blogging is an easy way to keep your site up to date without incurring cost for design updates. In addition, a well maintained blog can do wonders for search engine ranking.
