If you are good at something, never do it for free!
But building a custom website need not cost a bomb either
Get a website with custom domain
An amazing platform that is barely explored by naysayers, Google Sites offer powerful optimizations for first time site builders. My website leverages the full potential of Google's site building tools and you can see how close to perfection we are. Here I have the GTmetrix scores for www.axhixh.com which speak oodles about the speed and style you can achieve.

How fast is that?
Super fast I would say – don't take my word for it – check it yourself.
Now you too can get a professional looking website without breaking the bank. The website builder also allows tracking your traffic performance with Google Analytics integration and there is native support for Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, and Forms. Of course the platform is not a whole lot customizable, but with the right skillset we can achieve a lot more than the reviewers will have you believe.
Here are some other advantages of having a website built with New Google Sites:
Highly cost effective solution to your basic website needs, you only pay for annual domain renewals
Super easy to edit on the fly and publish changes once you have the layout figured out
All your resources sit securely in your Google Drive, no third-party hosting worries, ever
Close integration with Google products and Google Fonts (which is a highly overlooked feature imo)
Optimized for Mobile platforms by default, saves you from a ton of headache later
Comes with one of the best text editors in the industry
What about SEO?
In case you did not know, search engines no longer care about meta titles and meta descriptions. If your website is optimzied for the user experience, has relevant content and structure, and looks good while doing all that, you are pretty much set. Just rememeber to use the right keywords at the right place using SEO content optimization, as I did (wink!).
