The simple case for a small business website is math. A basic site on a website builder costs a few hundred dollars a year. For most businesses, one or two extra customers a year cover that cost, and anything beyond is profit. Track where new customers come from to see whether your site is paying for itself.
Yes, you can build a website for free using the free plan of a website builder such as Wix, WordPress.com, Google Sites or Square Online. The catch is that free sites usually use the builder's web address, may show its ads or branding and have feature limits. A custom domain, the most common upgrade, almost always costs money.
The cheapest website builders in the US for 2026 are Google Sites (free), Carrd (from $19 a year with a custom domain), WordPress.com Personal (about $99 for three years prepaid) and Hostinger ($143.52 for four years). Square Online is free for sellers who only pay card fees. Always compare the renewal price, not the first-year deal.
