> Think of it as getting a free car but you still need to pay for the gas.

The difference is that any service offering a free car would rightfully be seen with skepticism. (and in the case of game shows, you still have to pay tax on the free car!)

You can't say "free" in the marketing. No way around it. One-time low cost is fine, but not free.

I think there's a better way to handle this. We remove the fee and simply ask each organization that gets a site for a donation. They will not be required to pay but we will encourage them to, larger donations could make up for those who don't pay.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm making the changes now.
