Would you ever consider asking a friend to fly the airplane so you could get to your destination cheaper? What about a part-time student pilot?<\/p>\n

Unless you are a daredevil, I imagine you said no.<\/p>\n

This is a point I like to make when I hear that someone has decided to “save money” but having their friend, or friend’s friend, or a part-time student – do their website. Sure, there is some new and upcoming talent out there, and there always will be people aspiring to be web designers<\/a>. But what about your business? How much does it mean to you? Is your marketing worth so little to your business that you would risk it on an inexperienced, part-time, and possibly unreliable person?<\/p>\n

I put “save money” in quotes because, unfortunately, there are many occasions when a business owner does go this route and finds out later that they lost money.<\/p>\n
