The cost to keep my Web page is doubling and I'm looking at other options. Can anyone who created a free website paste a link?

Google has a free website builder tool, but you need to have a Google My Business account to use it. The tool builds a website which automatically pulls the business information and images from your Google My Business listing. Here you can check more info about it: https://www.google.com/business/how-it-works/website/
However, I totally agree with @NailtechJoe that there are cons with using free website builders. Issues with indexability and accessibility, semantic markup, HTML markup, internal linking, title tags, meta descriptions, headings, URL architecture, etc. might occur.
I have always used yola for a free website and every new client who hasn’t come from recommendation has said they found the salon through my website being at the top of google and very professional looking and nicely displayed. I pay a very small fee for my domain per year and that’s it. I just made sure I googled how to do the correct SEO and it worked a treat!
I personally see no need (from my experience) to pay ridiculous amounts for a company to do it for you..
Even with a web professional, payments and online booking is tied to an external provider which costs extra. When I build clients sites I normally recommend ovatu.com for online booking and we also set payment processing up through PayPal or Stripe (stripe preferred).I am struggling at the moment trying to get a site that needs as little of my input as possible on a daily basis...I did use squarespace which I loved many moons ago but didnt go forward with it all....now im looking at seriouy doing this and although squarespace is best it doesnt do payment or bookings you have to outsource them which means more cost...im lost with it all....
