Just Because You Can Doesn’t Mean You Should

I think if I tried hard enough I could probably build my own house.

A house, but not a very good house.

Probably a building, maybe with 4 walls, but probably in danger of falling down and made of foil and Lincoln Logs.

Knowing the importance of good shelter for my family, I will refrain from building my house. Instead, I will trust quality construction and real estate experts because that is their profession.

Web development is a profession, too. It is a neat one, and rather trendy, which is why so many folks like to try their hands at it. But just like building dwellings, it takes experience and on-the-job training to build a quality website.

Is it important to get your website online? Absolutely. Do you have access to do-it-yourself tools? Probably. But if building websites and learning “clean” coding techniques are not how you spend most of your time, your website is likely to look like a result of “spare time”.

A few reasons to hire a good professional web designer like WEBii.

  • We won’t put your website project on the back-burner, behind all of your clients.
  • We will probably code your website using SEO-friendly techniques.
  • Your website won’t be a replica of the 100 other websites that used “that template.”
  • Your website will be an efficient tool for your business, instead of an excuse.
  • You won’t avoid printing your website address on your business card.

If you have started your website because you know it is important to have one, kudos. But before you get in too deep and start making excuses, consider the importance of a website that was made professionally.
