Google recommends responsive web design, meaning your responsive designed site will rank better for mobile search as a site designed specifically for mobile phones. In essence if your website is not responsive it is "penalized" in a way, pushing you lower in the search ranks.

1. The first part you are paying for is the website build itself. Needless to say, this takes time to lay out the foundation, so that is is just right. For some parts, additional coding may have to be added for a pop-up message for example.
Some may take a fancy to a certain template. While some may be free, the really good ones sell for about 50 US Dollars. Once that is done, all the editing, link adding and more has to take place to personalize the website to you and your business.

You absolutely can settle for a free website and I would go so far as to say, have a few. For Prinymity I have a free website with godaddy.com and with google sites. That said, these you cannot do comprehensive SEO on, since you have no control panel access. I consider these to be slap together websites and once created, type in your business name and see if you can find it. . .
Once you create the free website you have to share the link, and that is about the only way you will get traffic to your site.
AXXESS on the other hand can give you a .co.za domain for free and after that you pay about R49 a month for hosting. At least when you search for your company you find it immediately.
The answer to this question is 2 fold:
1. Yes, this is possible.
2. There’s a joke that asks, “Where should you bury something that you don’t want people to find?”
Answer: On the second page of Google.
Sure, it’s corny. But there’s still some truth to that statement.
75% of people will never scroll past the first page on a Google search.
That means you can’t afford to be ranking on the second, third, or fourth page.
You just won’t get the clicks and traffic you need to make SEO worth your time and money.
And you need that organic traffic because 93% of online experiences begin with a search engine.
On top of that, there are over 1 trillion searches every single month!
A good SEO presence has the power to drive inbound traffic that could grow your business for years to come.
But the average-joe website owner doesn’t have the power to rank on the first page of Google for the best keywords.
There are already countless high-profile websites capitalizing on the top industry keywords.
And there are thousands of other bloggers trying to rank for that keyword as well.
That means the deck is stacked. And it’s not in your favor.
You shouldn’t give up, though! There are a few proven methods that I’ve used and found success with to show up on the first page of Google.
