Building your own website isn’t as easy as you think. Sure, you can use one of those companies that will provide you with a template, or you could build yourself a WordPress site, but building your own website, especially if you want to grow your business or organization, isn’t the best way to attract new clients and customers.
It’s easy, right? All you have to do is choose a template and drop or drag some images. Write some unique content and your new website is completed, and yes, that is true with tools like WordPress, Wix and Weebly, you can build your own website, but the biggest problem is that building your own website, unless you are a professional website designer, is like going to McDonalds expecting a healthy home-cooked meal. There really isn’t any comparison. You may save time and money when you opt for fast food, but the benefits just aren’t there. According to Knoxweb, the same can be said for a website.
Knoxweb shares a few reasons why building your own website isn’t the best solution.
Quality
Leaving an important event in the hands of your brother in law or even yourself can be problematic. You wouldn’t let your BFF take your wedding photo’s if she wasn’t experienced would you? The same can be said about building your own website.
Support
What will you do if your site should disappear? What about all of those dead links? Who will you contact and what happens if your new website gets a virus. Hackers love to attack viruses that will affect potential clients and customers, or anyone else for that matter. If people are checking out your website, they are under hacker threat. Trying to learn how to fix the problem can take time, time away from running your business or organization.
Find Me
The whole purpose of building your own website is so people can find you. There is much more into being found on the World Wide Web than building your own website. Knoxweb understands what, “Being found,” entails and has the tools and the knowledge to help you and your business on the search engines.
Business Cred
Your business card and brochure are no longer your calling card. In this day and age, your website is the tool that will give people the first impression of your business or organization. If you don’t think your homemade website is hurting you, best think again. According to Knoxweb, you get about five seconds to make an impression, and it had better be a good one. If you miss your opportunity, your competition will get the business.
Technology
What was popular last year, is probably out of date. Everything from Website technology to social media is changing the way people see the net. The most popular bells and whistles on your website may not be user friendly anymore, especially when it comes to flash and mobile websites.
