Thinking about taking the DIY route with website builders? Hold on. Investing in a website is crucial, and opting for a freelance web designer can actually save you money. Here’s why:
1. Time Efficiency
Building a website takes time. Do you really want to spend hours figuring out the intricacies of website builders, or would your time be better invested in growing your business? Freelancers, being web design experts, can expedite the process. Working with them means you can focus on your business and showcase your business online much quicker.
2. Quality Design
While business owners often have a vision for their website, translating it into reality requires attention to detail. There are many stunning template you can use, but it is the good customisation that makes the website ticks.
This is where a professional freelancer shines. They ensure the look, feel, and content perfectly reflect your business. The stunning visuals, effective functions and fast page speed all work together to attract visitors and turn them to loyal customers.
3. SEO and Mobile friendly
Freelancers not only design a website but also ensure it’s search engine-friendly, securing a prominent spot on Google. They optimise the website for various devices, giving your business a strong start in the digital landscape.
4. Actual Cost
Sure, many website builders offer a free version, but it comes with limitations and an unprofessional domain name. Promotions might seem tempting, but they often require upfront payment for multiple years and can double in price after the promotional period.
With Wix, it’s essential to consider that after the first year, not only does the monthly cost double, but you’re also tied in, restricting your flexibility to move your website elsewhere.
As a freelancer, I offer an alternative – I can help you build a website using Wix if you have a specific template in mind and are comfortable with ongoing subscription costs. However, I also provide website design services with a transparent upfront pricing structure. The only ongoing costs will be for the website domain and hosting, typically more affordable than long-term website builder subscriptions. Plus, you have the freedom to shop around for the best hosting deals. Let’s discuss a solution that suits your needs without any surprise expenses down the road!
Choosing a freelance web designer isn’t just about getting a website; it’s about a cost-effective investment that prioritises quality and efficiency for your business.
