What is a Website Builder?

While a business can just have a social media page, it doesn’t have the same credibility as your own website. The business pages of a social media site all look the same. When you are ready to have your own website, do you need to hire a website developer?

If you are good at following directions and have a little technical experience, you can setup a very basic website on your own with a website builder. This option will be much less expensive than a custom designed site.

This option will also have limitations. You may not get all the functionality you need. You may not understand that you must have a privacy policy or when you need to have terms and conditions. It might not be fast and probably won’t be optimized for search engines. But it is often the best first step to create your online presence.

PC Magazine published a great article on some inexpensive website builders and their pros and cons. One of these might meet your needs for now. If you need more than a website builder can deliver, please contact us. And after you have created it, remember to run it through the site audits to make sure it’s working as well as possible for you.
