Did you know that 80% of businesses fail within the first year of operation?? Let this sink in… and then think about the consequences of not having a website for your business.
Most consumers go online to find information they need about a particular business. Consumers want to know basic information about your establishment, such as your hours of operation, email, phone number, and address. Making your information readily available will make it easier for consumers to find services you might offer.
Without a well built website, you risk missing out on potential clients, and your business might end up as another statistic. Here are a few reasons why you need to have professional design your website rather than going the doing it yourself.
1. Technology is always expanding
Thanks to technology and the development of different sizes of mobile devices, your website has to look good on several different kinds of screens.
That means that during a website design, you must carefully plan out your design to meet the needs of your customers when they view the website on a mobile device.
2. Custom SEO
Some business owners choose to make their websites on Wix, Weebly, or Squarespace. These platforms work fine for personal websites, but this is your business we’re talking about.
You want a website that will generate leads and will rank well on Google. Websites created on Wix aren’t going to rank as high as sites created by a professional web design company. The degree of search engine optimization is limited on DIY website builds.
3. Custom Design
When you hire a professional web designer you know that your site will be created to suit your business. As a professional designer, we will evaluate your business and products, and work with you towards your goal is for the website.
Do you want to generate online sales? Walk-in sales? Will your site be for informational purposes only? Once these and other questions are answered, your site will be designed to meet your specific needs. DIY site builders limit the capabilities of their site and often restrict graphics and text.
4. Website Care Plans
Contrary to what many people believe, a website is never complete. As a result, websites must have continual care to keep them current and relevant to their industry. Technology is continually changing, and for websites to remain successful, they must remain up-to-date with these trends. When using a professional web design service, you benefit from their webmaster services to keep your site updated and fresh.
5. Save Time, Save Money
Perhaps one of the most invaluable reasons to hire a professional designer is that this will end up saving you time on a typical business day. And let’s face it: Time is money.
For example, we can provide for you an online quoting system, a form for booking appointments or a contact form that will eliminate the need to book appointments via telephone. A more efficiently run business leads to more revenue and thus a greater bottom line.
