Many website builders offer a free tier — usually a subdomain, limited templates or ads. This guide explains the trade-offs and shows how Congero's free demo plus managed $49/month service gives Australian small businesses the speed and local SEO they need without the usual setup headaches.
"Free" can mean different things: truly no-cost forever (often limited), free trial, or a free demo/preview. For most Australian trades — plumbers, electricians, builders, cleaners — the key requirement isn't a zero dollar price tag but a site that drives calls and bookings. That’s where Congero's fast demo + managed plan stands out.
A straightforward comparison so you know when a free plan is enough and when a managed solution will earn back its cost in leads.
Understanding your goals helps choose the right route. Below are common business types and the best option for each.
Hobbyists, side-projects, or those just testing ideas who don't rely on search traffic or local customers.
Trades, local services and small businesses in Australia that need customers to call, book, or request quotes from search results.
If you want predictable costs with ROI, Congero’s flat $49/month includes hosting, domain options, SEO and unlimited updates — often cheaper than ongoing freelance work.
