It might seem like the cheapest solution, but the true cost can actually be much higher
You’ll find many websites online claiming that you can build a website as good as a professional, for a fraction of the cost. However, this is a little misleading.
Building your own website, even using a template, takes a lot of time.
Below we’ve taken a look at a number of ways that creating a DIY website can actually damage your business:
Your website won’t stand out
Though online website builders offer attractive templates to select from, having the know-how to take that template and turn it into a professional and attention-grabbing website is something only a skilled web developer can do. Our team look closely at the market you’re operating in, find out what you’re hoping to achieve, then take care of the rest. They’ll create a website that looks great and delivers the user experience your clients expect.
It takes your valuable time
Building a website takes time, and if you decide to design it yourself that’s your valuable time. Time that you could be spending doing what you do best, serving your clients and growing your business. At WEBPRO we have a dedicated team in house who can build you a website in less time than you’d expect.
You’ll end up spending more
We often see clients that have set out building their own website as a way to save money, and that’s completely understandable. However, they quickly see that costs can start to add up as they’re unsure what are the right tools and add-ons to invest in. At WEBPRO we give you a clear cost upfront, without any hidden extras. It takes the stress away from you, allowing you to concentrate on the day to day running of your business.
You’ll have to compromise
You might have big dreams for your website and want to add extras such as an instant quotation tool or live chat. Adding advanced functionality to your website requires coding, and for the average person trying to design a website, it’s not within their skillset. This means they end up compromising on their initial design. Our skillset at WEBPRO means we not only have the experience to advise on the best functionality, but also the skills to add the functionality as part of your overall website design. You won’t have to compromise.
It weakens your brand
If your new website doesn’t consistently reflect your brand and uphold its design principles, then your brand becomes weak in the eyes of your client. It’s not just about consistent colours and fonts. A skilled website designer will ensure that your brand and message is reflected through every aspect of your website design, to ensure a seamless transition between your offline and online persona.
At WEBPRO we’ve successfully built websites for many years, for clients in a wide range of different industries. Our team is made up of web developers, designers and user experience experts with a range of different skills and styles.
Our process is quick and easy. We give you a clear cost upfront then take care of everything, so you don’t need to worry about investing too much of your valuable time.

PS: Building your own website might seem like the cheaper option, but this isn’t always the case and often you’ll be left with something you’re not happy with.
