We have been in this business long enough to see that almost everyone starting an online presence for their business opts to build their own website first. The problem with this isn’t just that the website is going to look cheap and unprofessional, it’s that you are going to think it looks good. Everyone does. When you create your own website it is like creating a sculpture in 5th grade pottery. It doesn’t matter if it is lopsided, discolored, or even looks anything like what you were trying to make in the first place. The very fact that you made it, makes it look great to you. The problem is that your website was not created for you to look at. Your business’s website was created to intrigue visitors and generate new business. Don’t waste your time with cheap and simple website builders. Getting a professionally designed website costs less than a month’s rent and will be one of the best investment’s you’ve ever made in your business. When a visitor gets to a website, they usually leave within three seconds. This means you have two seconds to intrigue, impress and engage. Having website designers with advanced knowledge in SEO and can optimize your on site content will also ensure that you don’t later waste time having a stale website that can’t be found on Google and other search engines.
