Knowing where to start when you are looking for a website can be confusing for business owners. There are a wide range of options, from the fast and easy site builders, to hiring an agency, to building your site from the ground up.
The truth is, there is no one size fits all when it comes to finding the right solution to build your online presence and the perfect solution will likely depend on a number of factors including your budget and the functionality that you require for your website.
So, what options are available for you and your business?
Build your Own with a Site Builder
Site building solutions such as Wix and Squarespace are good ways of getting your website up and running quickly and at a low cost (or no cost at all). Growing customization options and flexibility mean that this option has become a popular choice for many business owners looking to take the first step for their online presence.
To truly grow your online presence, it is not enough to just have a website – to have a good chance of ranking in the top pages of Google you will need to consider things such as site speed, optimization for Google search, website security, expandability as well as the user experience and design of your website.
This is where the disadvantages of these site building solutions begin to show. Due to the fact that you will be using a pre-built structure – it’s difficult to have much control over the site performance and speed.
These solutions are great for getting your website online fast, but to truly shine online they can sometimes fall short.
Opting for a Custom Built Website
A bespoke website build provides the ultimate customisation and control over the look and functionality of your website. Using this method means that every corner of your website will be built with your business in mind.
Whilst these solutions can potentially produce great results due to the customisation available, the cost of a fully custom built website can sometimes be out of budget for small to medium sized businesses. Cutting on costs with a bespoke website build can sometimes result in poorly built websites that are not fit for purpose.
