Is it worth paying someone to create your website?

For a complete beginner, creating your website can be a more complicated task than it seems. The whole process can take several weeks if you have a technical fiber, or a few months if you know nothing about it.

You first need to choose a platform and get used to the tool. You have probably heard of “Wix” if you have even a little interest in creating your site. It’s the most versatile for beginners and it holds the famous market leader position.

With Wix, you will have:

• An easy and quick interface to get used to.

• Templates made for your business

• A free plan to get you started properly

With Wix, you will not have:

• Ownership of your data

• Natural ranking in the top 3 pages of Google

• A completely free website for life

The myth of the free offer

A completely free offer will surely attract many curious onlookers and takers. Yes, you will be able to create your website and publish it for free. Now, imagine having your physical business completely free of charge. Also, imagine that this famous shop is located at the top of a mountain that is almost inaccessible to the majority of people. Well, that’s pretty much what will happen with your Wix site: you will have to “pay the consequences” of the free service, such as bad SEO, freemium plugins that will increase your monthly bill in the future, and many other aspects that won’t be worth choosing the free option.

Choosing your freelancer

Try to see your site as an investment. If a web design freelancer guarantees that your site will bring you 10 clients and that your site will be profitable in 3 months, you will sign the contract right away, I imagine? Don’t forget all the time you will save, the headaches over every little problem that customer service won’t have time to solve, and the fact that the freelancer knows how to make you a professional site, effective and that attracts visitors to convert them into loyal customers!
