Is building a free website a good idea?

A free website can work for a hobby page or a quick idea test, but for a business the subdomain, platform ads, limited SEO and lack of data ownership usually make it costlier in the long run.

A free website can make sense for a hobby blog, a short-term personal portfolio, a temporary “coming soon” page or a quick idea test. For a business that wants leads or sales, it usually does not.

  • Trust: a platform subdomain and platform ads look less credible than your own domain and corporate email.
  • SEO: limited control over tags, URLs, redirects, sitemaps and structured data; visibility built on a subdomain belongs to the platform.
  • Ownership: designs often cannot be exported and accounts depend on platform rules.
  • Growth: multilingual pages, CRM integration or online sales often require paid add-ons.
  • Compliance: forms process personal data and need proper KVKK notices.

Racoun codes websites on its own infrastructure, without rented packages, so the site, domain and content belong to you, with an admin panel, technical SEO and compliant forms included.
