Is there a free 'Helvetica Neue' alternative?

Question

Does anyone know any other fonts similar to Helvetica Neue (free for commercial use)? I'm working on a big website project where 'Helvetica Neue' is used heavily. I need a font that looks almost the same, is free for personal and commercial use, and looks good even when used with copytext (e.g. fontsize for copytext = 11px, for headlines = 16px). Also there should be a condensed-font style included (if possible).

You should use Google fonts: https://fonts.google.com/

Once you pick a font, Google gives you the HTML link and CSS option to add it to your site for referencing.

If you need something very similar to Helvetica Neue, then there is always Helvetica. Helvetica is a web-safe font and most if not all browsers have it.
