The phrase is used for everything from forever-free DIY builders with limited features, to short trials of premium platforms. This guide helps you understand the trade-offs and choose the path that gets you paying customers fast.
We break down the practical differences so you can pick the option that turns visitors into enquiries.
No obligation — preview a working website for your business in under a minute.
Answer these three quick questions to decide if a forever-free builder, a trial or a managed demo is best for you.
If you enjoy fiddling with page builders and can handle SEO basics, a free tier may be acceptable for learning. For immediate leads, skip to managed options.
Trades and local services benefit most from a site that’s optimised for "near me" searches — a managed demo with local SEO will usually outperform a basic free page.
Free may save money short-term. Long-term, predictable pricing like Congero’s $49/month often delivers more enquiries and better ROI.
Start with a free Congero demo to see a working, SEO-optimised site for your business. If it performs, the managed $49/month plan keeps it updated, secure and ranking well — without your time.

Upgrades for custom domains, removing ads, or adding e-commerce can quickly exceed the cost of an all-in-one managed plan.
Many free templates look fine on desktop but fail on mobile. Congero builds every site mobile-first and tests common device sizes.
Free builders rarely include ongoing SEO or analytics. Congero provides monthly reports and continuous SEO tuning as part of the managed plan.
