Small businesses, times are tough. The last few years have been challenging for most. If you’ve made it this far, you know what it takes to keep things going when your customers aren’t as willing to spend. The great news is, affordable web design is now a great option to get more eyes on what you have to offer.
How Do I Get a Website?
Having a strong online presence is now essential. If you don’t have a website or need a better one, it doesn’t have to break the bank. Creating a website is becoming easier and more affordable. You could even do it yourself.
Making a Website is Easier Than Ever
Gone are the days of needing to spend thousands on a developer to build you a website from scratch or hundreds of pounds every time you want to make changes. Web design tools are opening doors for small businesses.
Whether you’re tech-savvy or have never opened a laptop, getting a great-looking website is easier than ever. User-friendly website builders like Wix, GoDaddy, and Squarespace make it simple.
Q: How can a website builder help me if I'm not great with technology?
A: You can always hire an affordable freelancer like Slayer Creative!
Which Website Builder Should I Use?
There are lots of options out there, but I’m going to keep things simple and narrow it down to two recommendations: Wix and GoDaddy.
Wix – For the Tech-Savvy
For those who have the technical skill, time, and creativity, I highly recommend Wix. If technology doesn’t scare you and you’re looking for a sleek, user-friendly experience, you need to try it out. It has beautiful templates that are easy to edit and offer smooth scrolling effects.
Wix is best for those comfortable with technology because there are certain fiddly adjustments needed, especially if you are making significant changes to the original template. However, the time spent figuring things out is worth it when you see the final result.
Wix also has a great online community and regular Open Studio events where you can learn about the latest updates and chat with other users. I attended one last night and loved it.
Starting from £9 per month, it’s well worth it to have this cutting-edge technology at your fingertips.
GoDaddy – For an Easier Life
GoDaddy is much simpler than other website building tools like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress. Its rigid layout makes it harder to mess things up and get stuck.
Don’t Have the Time to Make Your Own Website?
Website building tools still benefit you because they make the process of getting a website faster and more affordable.
The person you hire doesn’t need to be a developer (developers are expensive!)
You can find a freelance digital marketer or independent designer who can use these tools for you at a much lower cost.
The website will be easier to maintain, and much easier for the freelancer to hand over to you if you ever want to manage it yourself.
Conclusion
The world is changing fast, and it can be hard to keep up. Website building tools are getting better and more user-friendly every day. You can try making your own website or hire someone to do it quickly and affordably thanks to these tools.
