    Depends if you want a professional looking domain as most of the free ones are offered as sub domains like www.mydomain.hoster.com

    I think you would need to ask yourself whether you would work for free for someone you've never previously met, then inquire why someone might be prepared to design you a website for free. After all, we all have to make money to live.

    You might get something simple with a template as part of a package like Steve says, but in general, "You gets what you pays for."
  • there are plenty of free websites out there but you would have to build it yourself. I persoanlly use freewebs as a site for my snooker team. I can also see things on the site using paypal which I have not yet done but the option is there so may be good for a potential start up business until you can either afford or consider buying your own domain.

    Good Luck
