7 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Build Your Own Website
-
1. Time
You will spend a great deal of time on doing something that is outside of your area of expertise. While money may be a consideration in your decision to do the work in-house, the time you spend designing, creating and implementing less-than-perfect website could wind up costing you more in lost revenue than what you’d pay to a contractor.
Your time could be better used elsewhere.
-
2. Expertise
Just like Microsoft Word doesn't turn one into Hemingway, DYI website builders don't turn you into a web developer. Most professional websites are developed by more than one pro because no single person is a programmer, graphic designer, marketer and writer.
You will save money by working with experienced professionals who will know the most efficient path to an effective delivery of your project.
-
3. DYI Websites Are Not Exactly Free
Popular online website builders use a freemium model, which costs little to "build" your website. Very quickly though, these companies will get their money out of you with updates, upgrades and support.
Do-It-Yourself website builders are not free, they are simply inexpensive at the beginning.
-
4. One Size Fits All, or Does It?
In all DYI cases, you’ll be squeezing your business into a pre-designed template and there will be limitations to how much the template can change to meet your business needs.
Although a cheap and quick solution, build-your-own website templates provide a cookie cutter solution that does not work for many businesses.
-
5. Proprietary Platforms
Many DYI website builders will build your website on their proprietary platform so they can keep you locked into using them for continuous revenue generation — through site updates, additions, and modifications. Additionally, you don’t get a say over your site’s hosting, updates, or uptime.
-
6. You Will Not Own Your Website
With many DYI website building services you don’t own the website yourself but only the content you provided for the website. This means that if you decide the service isn’t right for you, you’ll have to start over from scratch. You will not be able to export the site and move it to another web host.
-
7. No Support or Expensive Support
DIY websites don't come with adequate support or all-inclusive support. Websites run into bugs and you will be on your own for fixes or support will cost you premium, if available. Having a knowledgeable professional on your side, just an email or phone call away is invaluable when you are trying to create a business asset as important as your website.
You need someone you can rely on for advice, support, and expertise so that you can focus on growing your business..
