This website was fairly typical of what "free" Do
It Yourself web firms offer. Fonts are inconsistent sizes
and styles, images are pixilated so appear blurry to the viewer,
content is limited. The site owner is given almost no
instruction in how to create an effective, functional, and
attractive site. Nor given any instruction as to the
importance of keywords, links, optimization, submission,
etc. Invariably when the site owner finds these items need
to be added the cost escalates dramatically.

The most negative aspect of this kind of
site you can't see in this screen shot. A majority
of keywords on all the site's pages are highlighted
with various colors, are clickable and are linked to
the advertising of other web sites. The linked websites
are paying a fee to the host site and are a detriment
of this site. In
addition the "freebie" design sites frequently
feature advertising on both sides, top, and bottom
of the
"free" site and litter it with hated pop up
advertisements. Thus your "free" site is
being used to advertise the host company's paying clients. Is
this the kind of first impression you want for your
company?
