It all depend on what your personal or business goals are. The free options are great if you need something small, but getting a domain name, let's you start small and allows your site to grow as your business grows.

I definitely agree! Indeed, Wordpress is the easiest and a very user-friendly CMS platform whom you can build your website for your small business.
Personally if you care at all about the ability to customize in the future, as well as SEO performance, I would highly, highly recommend Wordpress. Just find an attractive theme and go from there. If you pick a popular, paid theme, there will be support forums to answer almost all of the questions you have. There's a reason Wordpress is far and away the most popular Content Management System on the internet.
While wordpress is relatively easy to use as well, there are certain plugins and updates that you must manually do and sometimes the updates don't always work with the version of wordpress you are using.
Weebly offers alot of flexibility and you can create a great looking site relatively quickly. Very easy to update content and create new posts. Simply drag and drop.
That is what our current site is built on and we are happy how it turned out.
Cheers,
