I am going to try my best, again, to convince you, Mister
or Miss Small Business Owner, that the best way to build
a website or a blog is to hire a professional web designer.
The most valid reason is TIME.
If you have zero to little experience building a website or a blog, it takes TIME to build an affective website.
Sure, you can cheaply and easily buy a domain name, put
some web pages together, and ‘go live’ online.
However, here are some questions you should ask yourself:
- Is my website properly optimized for the search engines?
- Are my pages optimized for LOCAL search engines?
- Will my website be easy to navigate for my online visitors?
- Is my ‘contact form’ formatted correctly to receive all my emails?
- Does my website have the best ‘look and feel’?
- Do I have TIME to learn HTML & PHP?
- How can I optimize my images for search engines?
- How can I fit videos on my web pages?
- Will my web design reflect my business professionally?
- Most importantly, again, can I take TIME away from running my business?
Final words… no really!
I have spent many a late night with many Small Business Owners that felt that they could save a lot of money by building a website or a blog on their own.
However, the results were far from favorable, in both design and functionality and you can forget about the search engines.
Your business is far too valuable to waste time on building a website or building a blog that might or might not give you the results that you are looking for.
People much smarter than I always told me,
‘Let others do what they do best, so that you can do what you do best.’
Ok, I’m done.
I gave it my best shot.
If you still want to build a website on your own, we have selected some of the best technologies to make it as easy
and as affective as possible.
Good luck!
