4. Can’t I just design my own website?
 

Sure, you could design your own website. But do you have the necessary skills to obtain a professional result?  Do you have a background in graphic design? Do you know how to write HTML code, or do you know how to use web design software?  Are you versed in uploading, downloading, email and internet routing issues?  There's a lot to know, if you desire professional results. 

In spite of all of the marketing hype by software vendors, do-it-yourself web design is not “simple and easy.” It’s difficult and frustrating. It takes years of learning and practice, and the technology is changing all the time. And those discount vendors who say you can build your own site in 20 minutes are merely offering pre-made templates.  And the results are obvious.

Would you hand over your business taxes to a high-school accounting student?  Then why would you be so nonchalant with your website? It is, after all, something that can make a great first impression with potential new customers, or it can send them scrambling for the “Back” button.
