The web has suffered enough! Would you trust an architect you’ve never met, spoke to first hand and who is based on the other side of the planet? Same goes for Web design! Your website is a crucial part of your business and this should be catered for you and your needs.
When it comes to building a website, many people consider using self-build software as a cheaper and easier alternative to hiring a professional web design/developer. However, there are many reasons why hiring a web designer is ultimately a better choice. Here are just a few:
1. Professional design
A professional web design/developer has the skills and experience to create a visually appealing and user-friendly website that will make a great first impression on visitors. Self-build software, on the other hand, may have limited design options and may not be able to produce the same level of aesthetic appeal.
2. SEO optimization
A professional web design/developer will have the knowledge and experience to optimize your website for search engines, helping it to rank higher in search results. Self-build software may not have the same level of SEO optimization capabilities, which can negatively impact your website’s visibility.
3. Responsive design
With more and more people accessing the internet from mobile devices, it’s important to have a website that is optimized for different screen sizes. A professional web design/developer will be able to create a responsive design that looks great on any device, whereas self-build software may not have the same level of flexibility.
4. Functionality
A professional web design/developer will be able to create a website that is tailored to your specific needs and requirements. Self-build software may have limitations when it comes to functionality, which can prevent your website from achieving its full potential.
5. Maintenance and updates
A professional web design/developer will be able to provide ongoing support and maintenance to ensure that your website remains up-to-date and secure. Self-build software may not have the same level of support and maintenance, which can lead to problems down the line.
So while self-build software may seem like a cheaper and easier alternative, it’s important to remember that hiring a professional web design/developer ultimately provides a better return on investment. With a professional design, SEO optimization, responsive design, functionality and maintenance/updates, your website will be able to achieve its full potential and will be able to reach a broader audience.
