Should YOU use DIY website builders?
How Does a Website Builder Platform Work?
The way a website builder platform operates is by equipping the user with tools to construct their website. These tools are commonly accessible via a web browser. Upon logging in, you will select a template for your site, which is also referred to as a theme. These themes are usually adjustable and enable you to integrate your company's branding elements, such as your logo, preferred color scheme, and typography.
If you are not trained in VISUAL COMMUNICATION, your amateur built site could have problems such as:
Missing or unclear call-to-action buttons
Poor website loading speed
Bad stock images
Confusing site navigation
Website clutter
Unresponsive design
Disorganized content
Moreover, findings reveal that 38% of users are deterred from engaging with a website if they find its layout unattractive. Businesses need to prioritize creating visually appealing websites to ensure optimal user engagement and retention.
When considering the financial aspect of an agency built web design, it is worth noting that the average cost of designing a small business website typically ranges between $2,000 and $9,000. See My cost friendly website packages for custom built WIX sites.
