Want a Website for Your Business? Confused by All the Options?

Let's start with the assumption that, all other things being equal, you would choose to have a website for your business as opposed to not.

But, if you haven't followed through to make that happen, it's pretty likely that one or more of the following reasons came into play

• The range of possibilities was so broad as to be confusing.
• You perceived that a website was just too expensive.
• You just didn't have the time & energy to complete this project. The web designer/developer needed so much from me that it was just overwhelming.
• You've been told that I don't really need a website - social media accounts are just as good , a lot easier & less expensive.

There are always reasons or excuses to justify those decisions.

Here's the truth. If you're a "real" business, you need a website. It's the only online asset that you actually own and control. You don't own your social media accounts - your can't control their destiny. But, you own your website and only you can control it.

To be fair, you don't need us - or some other vendor - to necessarily do it for you. You CAN do it yourself. You'll probably save some money, but it will take you time and energy in return.

• Time to learn the platform technology. No matter how easy the DIY website platform claims to be, have you ever done it before? Do you know what's involved?
• Time to learn the best way to depict your messages online. 
• Time to maintain what you've built. 
• Time to keep up with more recent trends and capabilities in website design, capabilities, and potential hazards. 
• Time that's not directly devoted to running your day-to-day business.
• 
  

You know what you do best? Of course, you do! It's the business you're passionate about! It's the business you know how to run! It's the business that you should devote your time and energy towards!



It's a balance of the value of your time vs. the cost.
