If your marketing budget is limited, it’s very tempting to cut corners, especially when it comes to your new website. There are many options available for low-cost websites, but beware of the old saying “you get what you pay for”.
Build your own WordPress Website
Yes, you can build your own using a template from one of many software sites (and if you do decide to go down that route, we recommend WordPress, which is the software we use), but if you’re not technically minded, you’ll be learning it as you go along which will take time. So what you’ve got to consider is the pay-off between spending that amount of time working on something you’re not experienced in, and spending your time and energy doing what you do best – growing your business.
Another aspect of building your own WordPress website that you need to take into account is the optimisation. Obviously you need your WordPress website to look great, but it’s vital to make it work hard for your company, and that means it needs to be fast and in tip-top shape. The aim of search engine optimisation (SEO) is to do work ‘behind the scenes’ to make the content visible and attractive to Google and other search engines, which are then more likely to place it higher in organic search results. The aim is for your company to appear on page one of the Google search results where it’s more likely to be seen by potential customers.
If you don’t have the time or the expertise to build your own WordPress website, consider an ‘off the peg’ WordPress website.
