Why Pay For a Website Instead Of Building One Yourself?

It’s a good question, really.

Why should I pay some agency $1,000-$3,000 or more to build a website for me when I can go to Wix or Go Daddy and do it myself for $15 a month with a DIY site builder?

It’s true.

You can find WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get”) website builder services for cheap and do it yourself to save money.

Some builders are even free.

You can load templates that are pre-packaged and ready to go.

Just add your logo and some smiling pictures of your staff, and instant website!

Sounds great, right?

And you can save a few thousand in the process (and not have to deal with a web agency, which we know can be a pain sometimes!)

But there’s a catch.

Think about it this way.

If you were sick, you could find free medical advice on Google or Web MD.

Or you could spend $30 and buy a book that has diagnostics in it, the same book doctors use as a reference.

You could go to the pharmacy yourself, and maybe get the right medicine if you guessed the condition correctly.

But it’s the things you DON’T know that will hurt you more than the information you were able to look up.

That cough might sound like a normal cough, but to a trained doctor they know what it is, and what it isn’t.

What’s the difference between you and a doctor?

You have access to the same books and tools, for the most part.

For only a couple hundred dollars and you can buy a nice stethoscope and reference books off of Amazon!

But one of you studied medicine, and has experience from hundreds of other patients.

One of you didn’t and doesn’t know what they SHOULD know or what they DON’T know. Which one do you want to trust your health to?

Experience Makes The Difference

We wouldn’t trust our personal health to ourselves if we didn’t have adequate experience.

Why would we trust our own business website to ourself when we might not really know what we are doing?

When you hire an agency like ours to provide website development services, you aren’t paying just for the tools and the time.

Anyone can buy a $20 hammer at Home Depot and try to build their own house.

But the same hammer in the hands of someone who already built 50 houses will work a lot more effectively than someone trying for the first time.

What kind of house do you want? One built with experience or one that’s a first-time go of it?

What kind of website do you want your business to live in online? One built with experience?
