Getting British Business Online (GBBO)

GBBO only provides a basic no-frills site. You have to use Googles' site designer and from what I have seen, these sites stand-out like a sore thumb.

Much better to use them to get your free '.co.uk' domain then either -

1 - Host it yourself (if you have unlimited B/B and your site won't generate so many hits that it grinds to a holt)
2 - Host it elsewhere (i.e. UnlimitedGB, 123, Fasthosts etc) and get the nameserver records updated to point at the new host.

At least you will (hopefully) have a site that you can be proud of as you are not limited to a few templates.

I must second what James says.. DO NOT use GBBO at all. For what it costs, get your own domain (£3 per year), and design from scratch, using Weebley (best of the free ones), or look a little further down the line, and get someone to design it for you

There are reasonable designers out there, and by using pre-designed templates, can create you a professional looking site for less than £300

Seconded. Its a nice idea but its annoying the limitations they put on GBBO
