Now that we have decided the type of website to create, we will now choose who will be building the site. Should I hire someone to do it or do I create it myself? Every Wednesday @12PM we will discuss important information about your web presence.
DigiNosis:
Whatever decision you take, you’ll want to consider these 3 C’s:
· Cost
· Customization
· Complexity
Time, and ongoing maintenance is also a factor to consider. It is suggested to prioritize
your most important considerations, then weigh the options against your needs.
Let me quickly go through the different website options:
Site Builders
These are normally affordable options that allows you to choose prebuilt templates. You drag and drop these templates to fit onto spaces inside your backend. If you are creative professional with designing skills, this will be a breeze and again, it is easy on the pocket.
WordPress Platforms
If like the idea of building and updating your own website without learning HTML, but want more flexibility than a site builder, then WordPress is the way to go. You can choose from free or premium which mean paid WordPress themes (designs for the overall style of your website). There are numerous plugins that are dynamic and can boost your site’s functionality. Our web hosting business offers WordPress Managed platforms for any website idea. This is slightly different from the ordinary plans as managed WordPress plan handles bundle hosting, security and support into one plan to make it easier to set up and maintain a WordPress website.
Bespoke Website Designer
Hiring a professional designer could be a great option if you don’t want to build it yourself. Unless you’ve got a designer friend who might charge you a small sum, this is the most expensive route to get online. But it can be a great investment when you consider the time and effort it will require for you to build a custom website. In our next episode, we will discuss more on working with your designer to transform your ideas into your desired digital footprint. In the meantime, you can download my book, on Amazon.
