The digital world of DIY is here! Hooray right? Oh wait... then why hire a Web Designer or Media Content Manager? Because it costs less, that is why!
A few scant years ago people were duped into purchasing expensive software for web building that is now useless! Today, do it yourself ads are everywhere. They can seem more economical and according to the advertising they are quite easy to do! Just click and boom...your website is published! Are the advertisers lying, not at all...but
“Just because I bought wood does not mean that I now have the skills required to build a house. It makes me a wood owner, not a carpenter!"
All websites are made up 3 basic things HTML, CSS, and Java Script, without exception. Big business figured out a way to market those basic tools at a free or low cost trial. Great business strategy! I like the thinking, the reality though is quite different and with good reason. It takes technical skill to build a proper and correctly functioning website, plain and simple.
What is your time worth to your business?
Do it yourself websites are exactly what they say they are. You must do it yourself.
If you did not have top-notch web building skills to start, then your first loss is valuable time spent to get the product to "behave". Most services have a database for support and every platform is different. You just have to know what questions to ask and then spend time sifting through all the pages of possible results.
(Do you know what other super important thing that most of the DIY services have on hand...a web designer! The fees for them and their commissions based product add-ons can tally up quickly too. This ala carte sales tactic is more expensive and time-consuming versus a flat quote for the scope of the project, hands down.
Hmmm...well if you were going to have to hire a web builder anyway...then maybe it is really a "rent the software but you probably will have to pay professionals to make use of it" services! )
Your business and brand deserve the shortest route, to the best result, the first time!
The best value for your advertising dollars is to spend them wisely!!!!
In business, time is money too!
The sole purpose of your website is to grow your business or brand, increase sales, and get a bigger market share and your website is the single most important digital tool. Not knowing what to do to create a fully functional site that targets your clients can cost you thousands in lost revenue, time, growth, and profitable networking opportunities. A quality web designer has the technical skills to get the job done right in a few rounds versus months or (quite possibly) not at all. In a real sense, you can't afford not to hire a web builder!
