Pains Of Do It Yourself Websites

Sometimes doing it right and exactly right makes the entire difference. Sure you have made your website look decent with the help of DIY (do It Yourself) websites that claim to be your one stop solution. But the real question to be asked is, “Are they doing enough?” The answer is a forthright NO. You are probably going the DIY way to save those extra bucks that you would otherwise give to a professional web designer or just to scratch you designing itch. Look closer my friend, are you losing on a lot more in the process of saving those few bucks.

Designing a website is a lot more than just attractive little moving animations and colorful fonts. Your heavy flash sites aren’t going to work anymore. Your website is a representation of your business. It is an internet version of what and how you speak of your business. The process of website design involves more than just good- looking website.

The Technical know hows

Technology is changing at a pace faster than you can catch. Today website design is not about plain HTML with a little CSS added to taste. Today you have content management systems that make your lives a lot easier in terms of managing the website once it has been deployed. Without then editing content on your website can turn into a nightmare. And then there is AJAX and JavaScript that makes your website do things. These are just to name a few. Take a close look at the sites around you and you will know that you still have a long way to go. It is important to know the updated technologies to make you website design look updated and outstanding. Are your favorite DIY sites providing that?

The SEO Conundrum

Putting your website up there is not enough. You also need traffic and a lot of it to come up to your site. This is where SEO comes into play. An SEO provider not only makes your design look professional but also makes sure that the content of your website is such that it places you in the top position of the search engine. Making website design SEO friendly is a must.  It strategically places every element of your website so as to aid in the entire SEO process. Making customers reach your website is not enough, you need to make them linger on for longer on your website. Are your DIY sites ready for this?

Template Trouble

You need your templates to be slick and attractive. It needs state of the art UI that makes it easy for customers to navigate through your website. Imagine that you have got that ready for yourself. And next imagine that your competitor has the same template as yours or somebody just copied that free template of yours. Readymade template from the DIY site leaves no room for customizability and creativity that your web designer has got to provide you. You lose your unique branding with it. Website design with essential UI/UX not only drives audience but reaches to the targeted market as well.

Security Glitch

These DIY sites leave a lot to be done on the security grounds. They put a lot of efforts in flexibility in lieu of security and security is an issue where you just can’t compromise. Web designers are supposed to know all the security issues and are capable of coping up with them. Besides, there is a lot more code that is just not usable by your site. Why to make your website design unnecessarily heavy when you can’t even get required security.

If you are an amateur then you should not take up the headache of designing your site. Leave that issue to professional designers. A bit of investment in the initial stage can help you reap a lot of profits in the long run.
