the people that will take him up on the offer are probably people that would not have spent the money on it anyway. Grab a few people with some simple store / restaurant pages or something simple .

Cast a net and pick and choose what he does for free. I doubt he is doing corporate level BI/ AI that people pay the real money for and more of a here a few business pages i did and helping the local community.

There was a time in my life where 3/4 of the business in my area had free pages done by me just to help the community . Restaurants that wouldnt have them otherwise or half ass self builder in frames sites that look 20 years outdated otherwise.

Leave the man be

Not that much - anyone complaining about someone making a basic website for free - its not a peer or someone that should be getting paid for such simple work to begin with . Too many people call themselvs web Devs that can barely make a functional website.

The true work would never be given away free - the stats, BI , KPI type work that is really needed. Integration and business continuity stuff . That what you dont give away , that might hurt peers and industry but simple stuff that takes an hour to do is great to do like this . Help people out , make a profile for yourself...no one is under value it simple work and just practice for someone that probably didnt go though normal education channels
