DIY vs Professional: The Real Cost
Yes, you can build a website yourself using Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress.com. These start from £0-20/month. But consider:
- Time: Expect 50-100+ hours to learn and build
- Quality: Templates look generic and limit customisation
- SEO: DIY sites often rank poorly on Google
- Support: When things break, you're on your own
Our view: If your website is important to your business, invest in professional design. The ROI is usually 10x within the first year.
