A "free business website builder" often means one of two things: a free trial/demo that lets you preview a professional site, or fully free DIY tools with limited features. This guide explains the differences and why Congero’s free demo plus managed, low-cost plan is the fastest, most reliable way for trades and small businesses to go live with a site that actually brings leads.
Many builders advertise "free" sites but hide costs in hosting, ads, or restrictive templates. Congero gives a genuine free preview (no card), then offers a simple, all-inclusive $49/month subscription if you decide to go live — covering domain, hosting, SSL, SEO and unlimited updates.
