The Pros and Cons of Building My Own Website

There are a few things to consider before taking on the task of building your own website.

On the plus side you’ll learn a new skill, web design.

You’ll also save money by doing it yourself, however in business time is money so this actually doesn’t apply.
A small business custom designed website will take approximately 2 weeks to build, and that’s by someone who knows what they’re doing.

You’ll need to learn about SEO and creating and optimising content which will take months of dedicated planning and researching to get behind the science.

If you’re not familiar with building websites it will be a very steep learning curve that will be time-consuming and requires many technical skills. If you’re not sure you’re up for the task, you may be better off hiring a professional.

Small Business Websites are often overlooked because many people think that they are too expensive. However, there are many ways to create a small business website without breaking the bank.

The first step is to find a professional web designer who has experience working with small businesses.

Next, ask them if they offer free consultations.

If they say yes, then you know that they are willing to help you figure out which features work best for your business.

Finally, be sure to look at their portfolio before hiring them. You want to see examples of websites that they have designed for other small businesses. Also understand the difference between freelance web designers and an agency.

Here’s a table highlighting the difference in price.
