How It Works
When it comes to websites, usually you’ve got 2 options:
Hire an agency or a freelancer to build you a website. The problem with this option is that you have to find a host, buy a domain, then choose a reputable agency or a freelancer. After your website has been built, usually agencies charge too much to make even the slightest changes, or the freelancer disappears. That leaves you with a website that you probably don’t know how to manage, with wrong information, plugins breaking, contact forms not working anymore…there goes all your money and effort, plus the lost business that you’re not getting because your website isn’t working properly. Or worse off, your hosting expires. And you don’t know your hosting password, but even if you do, you realize you have to pay more out of pocket because hosting companies usually raise their prices after the first year. The point is that you’ll soon realize that a website is like a car; it needs maintenance. Just like a car, it will probably continue to run a little longer after the scheduled maintenance date, but eventually it will stop working. Then you have to hire another agency or freelancer to help you with marketing. search engine optimization, social media management, and more.
You have seen a bunch of websites on Wix, GoDaddy or SquareSpace, so you think ‘Eh, what the heck, let me check them out!’. Services like Wix, GoDaddy, SquareSpace and the like are DIY builders, or short for Do-It-Yourself. They provide you with the platform, but you have to do the service. (While an agency or freelancer provides you with the service, but you have to provide the platform). Their platforms are usually solid from a hosting point of view, and they’re usually fast & mobile friendly websites. The only problem is you have to design your website yourself. Do you have the time for that? Because if you’re a business owner, and you’ve got enough time on your hands to learn how to build a website, then you’re not focusing on growing your business. Payroll, taxes, running a smooth business…is there really time to learn a new hobby? Ok, let’s say that you learned how to build your website, or ‘your nephew’ helped you with your website. What about your marketing? Are you having a website just to have a website? Or do you want to use it to grow your business? Welp, all of the sudden you now need to learn search engine optimization, digital marketing…and so on and so forth.
