Web.com is a new website founded to help small businesses success online by giving them access to well designed, maintained, and marketed websites that will get them noticed in the online community.
Web.com offers a “do it yourself” website building tool, a Facebook page building option, and the option to have them custom build your website from the ground up, which is currently free for a limited time.
If your company already has an existing website, Web.com can either redesign your website for you, give you tips on redesigning it or updating it yourself, or simply help you market your website through their Gorilla Online Marketing Solution program.
How It Works
Because building a website for your company is a very specific process, you must call Web.com at 800-338-1771 to receive a personalized consultation. Every website or Facebook page built by Web.com begins with an in depth interview with a design consultant.
It is the job of the design consultant to fully understand your business and what you hope to achieve with your website. Then, using their 13 years of experience, Web.com designers will use this information to build you a high impact website.
All websites created by Web.com are designed with search engine optimization in mind, and all sites will be provided with 30 days of free marketing services.
If you choose the option to have Web.com build your custom site for free, then you have 30 days to decide whether or not you are happy with both the website and the marketing that Web.com is providing for your site.
The Bottom Line
If you are happy, then Web.com will begin charging you a monthly fee for your hosting, maintenance, and marketing services, depending on what your site requires. If you are unhappy, you may cancel your service at no charge, but you will lose your website and the marketing that had been provided.
It seems as though the focus at Web.com is actually on website marketing, more than website design, as they provide their marketing services for free on a short term basis in order to encourage customers to use the Gorilla Online Marketing Solution long term.
The Gorilla Marketing program promises a presence all over the internet, including Google Places, mobile and GPS devices, and social media websites.
However, due to the specific needs of each individual company, no prices are published at Web.com. You must call for a consultation to determine cost of services.

What is the old saying
You never get anything for free
"If you make the mistake of signing up, check the billing section… no way to cancel. States to call them instead, but good luck getting an answer and if you do, good luck getting them to actually cancel."
This should be illegal.
