Why businesses should engage with a professional agency to do their website.

Your business is like your new born baby, would you feel safe putting your new born baby in a car that is run down been thrashed and abused and can be easily broken into, it just doesn’t look safe.

You may be thinking of what are we talking about, we are talking about the difference between having a DIY Website and a Website professionally done by a qualified web design company in Melbourne.

As soon as you think of a DIY website you think of cheap and affordable but is that really the case. Remember that most DIY websites have a monthly installment plus a set up fee. And you never own your site outright.

DIY rental site that is not e-commerce is $55-$100+ a month say your business is around for 10years just remember that even if you want to take your site from this DIY you will never be able to or own it, you will have to build from scratch. (12x100=1200yr) ($1200x10yr=12000yearnow remember this is not even a ecommerce website and not including all the other hidden costs. When choosing a DIY website you are held back with what you can do, your choosing from 100s of different templates that are easy to hack and that will look the same as other sites. With designing a DIY site these are some points you may find a issue with if you wanted your site to be found on Google. Having a DIY website it will hinder you using SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

There are many potential issues with content that can’t be found or can’t be understood by the search engine that can work against you. For example:

1.Orphaned content that can’t be found
2.Content only available via site search
3. Flash files, Java programs, audio files, video files
4.AJAX* and flashy site effects 5.Frames — Content embedded from another site can be problematic. 6.Subdomains — content split into subdomains rather than sub-folders
7.Mobile-friendly design
8.Page speed
