Simple answer is yes – you get what you pay for.
There are a few adverts on TV these days that talk about creating and setting up your own website – simply and easily – and for a very low price.
Obviously this is not something I want people to do – so obviously I will say its wrong! However instead I will give you my thoughts on these types of services – the pros and cons!
Sometimes the simple answer is you get what you pay for – so the cheapest price means you will get a cheap website. Cheap isn’t always good though.
There have been sites around that will design a website and create it for you for £100 for years and the sad fact that is on the surface they don’t look that different from a website that cost someone say £800. So how as a user would you know!?
Website are created using HTML or code and that is where these cheap sites come into play, the CODE or HTML is very important – why? well because the search engines read that code and depending on how its been written – what content is available for the search engine to read – will depend on our you get “ranked” ie 1st on Google!!
Now some of these cheaper one don’t use good code, correct code or even updated code – that all effects the search engines – and hey what good is a website if it just doesn’t get found!
So sometimes its worth paying a little bit more or a website – because after all that website is the window into your business – if it doesn’t work or looks bad then you could be putting off customers!
You wouldn’t give out a crumpled business card after all!
Or would you??
That is for next time
