Gone are the days when websites were exclusive to large businesses and corporations. Today, small businesses must also establish an online presence to stay competitive.The challenge is that many web designers still overlook the needs of smaller businesses, offering packages that do not provide adequate value. If a package is affordable, it often lacks uniqueness or consists of generic templates found frequently across the internet.
However, creating a website doesn't have to break the bank. Here are some pitfalls to avoid when selecting a web designer:
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
1. Template Websites:
Templates, also known as cookie-cutter designs, are pre-made website layouts that can be used by multiple businesses. If a potential customer sees a similar template elsewhere, they may not take your business seriously. Always ask your designer if your website will be custom-made or based on a template.
2. Hourly Rate Design:
Some web design companies charge by the hour. Often, this can lead to inflated costs, as some designers may claim tasks take longer than they should. Instead, look for set packages that clearly outline what's included, regardless of time spent.
3. High Hosting Charges:
Many business owners allow their web designer to handle hosting, which is fine, but be cautious of the hosting fees. Small businesses with simple sites should not pay more than $3-$7 a month, while larger sites should be under $10-$15 monthly. If a company offers free hosting as an introductory offer, inquire about future costs once the offer expires.
4. Long Completion Times:
While web design can be complex, skilled designers can typically complete projects quickly. Be wary of designers who need excessive time to finish a website, as this may indicate they are overextended. Always ask for an estimated timeline upfront.
Web designers focusing on small businesses are available worldwide; you just need to find the right one. While large design companies boast impressive portfolios, they may not provide the personalized attention and support that small businesses require.
In summary, establishing an online presence is crucial and can be achieved affordably by avoiding common pitfalls and choosing a web designer who understands the unique needs of small businesses.
