Websites that offer a free trial?

8 years 3 weeks ago #476359 by TedReichner
Hey PT, how you all been doing?  I'm wondering if you can help me out here.  One of my clients kids is in college and is studying photography on the side with a very limited budget.  My client (the parent) just sent me an email this evening asking about which websites offer the longest free trial as his son wants to set up one for his photography and simple wants to stretch his money as long as he can.  Apparently his son wants to pay his own way and doesn't want financial help from his parents.  I'd like to send a list of websites that offer free trials, so if you can post the ones that you know, that would be big time appreciated.   


Thank you!

They all do.  30 days is pretty much standard, I have not seen any that were longer.

Jimdo has a free for life plan. It's on a subdomain like username.jimdo.com, but free is free!

Weebly.com is free forever as well. Like Jimdo, it would be a subdomain.

Squarespace has a 14 day free trial. Not a lot of time to work with, but I suppose he could get something done in that timeframe.

Give Imcreator a shot:  xprs.imcreator.com/?_ga=1.161260669.1948214595.1459372212

They have a free plan for students that appears to have some nice features.

I really recommend using any of the image proofing systems out there. Most of these can handle full blown websites, but the way they manage galleries of images is way better than Wix, Squarespace, and don't even get me started on 1and1 (I used it for years and it's crap). 

A lot of them offer free trials. Here's a list to check out.  BTW, this list is from a blog post I just published called 3 DIY Ways to Improve Your Photography Website .

Photography websites are my area of expertise, so if you guys have questions I'd be happy to answer them!
