Using a Web Designer Instead Of Doing It Yourself...
by: Richard Grady
I built my first website approximately five years ago and since then, I have always designed and built my own sites. This process has served me very well and over the years, my web building skills have advanced considerably (mostly through trial and error!). I have always recommended to my customers and subscribers that they too learn how to build their own sites and this is for two reasons:
1. It means that you know exactly what is going on with your site and how it actually 'works'. As you have built it piece by piece, you know, quite literally, every aspect of it.
2. Doing the work yourself will save you a small fortune on web design costs.
During the past couple of weeks though, I have done something that I would have previously not even considered doing - I have started to talk to a professional web designer with a view to hiring him to build a new business website for me!!!
Why I hear you ask?
Well the answer is simple - because he can do a much better job of it than I can AND he will take on all of the stress that the project would have caused me.
