* What do you mean by "Free website"?

The actual website is free, meaning that you don't have to pay for the design and development of the website itself. We also provide the Content Management System (CMS) to you at no charge. There are a couple of other associated costs with having a website however, which we have endeavoured to provide as cheaply as possible; namely the hosting (from $12 per month), and the domain registration (eg. yoursite.com.au, $60 for 2 years). There are optional extras such as email boxes, template customisations, and some optional add-ons which will also incur small extra costs, but we will always advise you of these before proceeding.
