Create your own website for free. Is it true?

“Create a free website in minutes,” you read in the search results. Undoubtedly, the title is too attractive to go further. You think about the money you will save and feel a sense of relief.

You enter, read, or watch the video; everything seems so easy. Accordingly, the final result of the example is beautiful.

You decide to go ahead and make your website for free. As you move from theory to practice, you face the first obstacles. You search for external sources and enter forums and Facebook groups to ask. You get answers that conclude: “I can help up to a point. From there, it all depends on the case.”

After some time, you keep searching. The steps from a few have become infinite, and the result has nothing to do with what you had in mind, nor does it represent your business. Suddenly, it seems impossible to have your website.

Does the above scenario sound familiar?

  1. Website for free and by myself. Let’s get something straight:

    Of course, you can create a website from scratch and build it yourself. Free is a relative thing.

    Being able to build your website depends on many factors. Although many tools can help to help you develop your website, the process requires considerable time, effort, and knowledge of web design, programming language, and internet infrastructure.

    Additionally, nowadays, we use free website builder tools to design an essential website to create and manage easily. However, to make our page functional, adding advanced solutions and hosting the website on a server is necessary—all of the above, money, and proper knowledge to make the right choice.

    Think of all those times you stopped in front of a Pricing table to buy a hosting package or some other add-on for your page and got lost because you didn’t understand what each option offered.

    So experience shows that the steps to create a professional website are specific. However, the individual case of each business, the choices, and the decisions we have to make in between prove that this requires working with experienced professionals in the field to ensure its quality and effectiveness.

    The time element

    As a process in itself, creating a website takes time and effort. When the specialized experience and knowledge are not there, you must also calculate the time you will spend on training. This procedure includes to:

    • Follow the necessary guides,
    • Apply what you’ve learned
    • Learn from your mistakes, and
    • Finally, finding the solution.

    One of the essential benefits of cooperating with an experienced group of professionals is that they have already taken the above training steps. Thus, you can go directly to implement your idea together. Therefore, you can focus on your business as your partners have constructed your website and solved the technical issues that will arise along the way.

    This benefit doesn’t just save you time. Think about what you can gain when you invest the time and energy you would have spent learning a new art into your mastery—the one you offer through your business.

More specifically, working with a Web Design & Development team can offer you the following benefits:

Saving time in the design and development of the website: Through your collaboration, you invest in the experience and tools that your team already has to develop your website quickly.

You avoid mistakes that arise during the construction stage: An experienced team of professionals will know the best standards and best practices for developing your website. Thus, you avoid mistakes in development and design that could destroy your website or increase the development time and, therefore, the total cost of the project (time, money, energy, and everything you could devote to the growth of your business).

You save money on maintenance and upgrade costs: You ensure the website will be well-designed and run smoothly. This means that you will not need constant upgrades and repairs, which can cost you a lot of money and time in the future.

You offer the ideal page visitor experience: Investing in a high-quality website creates a significantly improved user experience. This is because professionals in the field know many techniques and best practices, such as optimizing website loading speed and ensuring compatibility with various browsers.

You achieve your ultimate goal: Repeat visitors to your page and increase your leads and sales.

The details make the difference: A business website needs many additional features, such as contact forms, welcome pages, automated emails, and more. All these features can improve the user experience on your website and provide them with a professional impression.

After all, where do I invest when I work with a team instead of building the website myself?

It may appear that you are paying to build your website. But in reality, you are investing in:

  • More traffic,
  • A higher number of conversions include phone calls, store visits, direct purchases, and more.
  • Having a competitive advantage in a market with websites that do not stand out.
  • More positive comments and reviews for your website can boost customer confidence and increase your credibility in the online world.

Therefore, providing an improved user experience is an essential step for the success of your business. You can make it yourself and achieve it over months (or even years) or have it sooner through good collaboration. What will you choose?
