Now you can pick your favorite free design and build your own free website, even if you can't afford everything that the Pro version has to offer. That's just how we roll.
We know that once you've tried Gutensite, you'll stick with us when you're ready for professional services. And in the meantime we hope you'll recommend us when friends
and colleagues need sites of their own. Pretty much everything in the professional packages is included in the Free Lite version except: email accounts, personal domain names, custom designs, specific advanced functionality, and of course customer service. The Free Lite version is also useful for anyone who just wants to take Gutensite out for a test drive. If you like it, it's easy to upgrade to one of the professional options later.

“Since I started my new business, it has been important for me to project an image of stability and legitimacy, yet with my (almost non-existent) budget I was sure I would have to compromise the quality of the site. However, with Gutensite I don't have to compromise. My site was practically done just by signing up, all I had to do was add some of my own content. And I can even forward my domain name to my free Gutensite. Plus, when I'm ready to get more professional in the future, I know the folks at Gutensite will be able to help me with whatever I need.”–Paul May, http://redeemercounseling.gutensite.com
The Free Lite Version is nice, but it just isn't going to be enough for most professional organizations, no matter your size. You need a domain name, you need professional email hosting, and chances are, you need our support. But try our Free Lite version out, and then when you are ready you can upgrade easily.
If you are a professional organization without a full time technical staff, support is probably the most valuable thing we offer. Essentially we will train you how to use the CMS so that you can take full advantage of your website and its powerful tools. With our help, anyone can be a webmaster. Whenever you need help, we are available to show you how to do it, answer questions, provide advice and consultation, or help planing the next great feature. It's like having an entire web development and marketing team on call. The most important thing is that you are not alone. You don't need any technical knowledge, because that's what we are here for.
“I have used the services of Crate Media/Gutensite in the past for various custom work projects and I have always been very pleased. However, I have recently started a side business doing pressure washing in the Brenham, TX area. As with many business startups, I did not have the capital to commit to a custom site from Gutensite right away. But when I found out that they had Free site options, I immediately set up my account and began putting my site together. I was pleasantly surprised with the agility and customization that this free template offered. So pleased, in fact, that I immediately upgraded to a Pro account and launched my new business website! Thanks, Gutensite.com!”–Casey Cease, http://www.brenhampressurewashing.com
