Domains' Web site builder, called Site Builder, has multiple features and benefits for SMEs. From as little as R85 per month, a Site Builder Web site can free up cashflow for other important expenses. But, what is the best option for an SME, the Domains Web site builder solution, or a professionally built Web site?
As an SME owner, you already know how important it is to have a Web site. It is like having a shopfront in the largest mall in the world: the Internet.
Unfortunately, like all things in business, getting from "I need a website" to "Ta-da!" requires making important decisions. Once you've settled on and bought your domain name, you still need to get the site built.
There are basically two main options:
1. A Web site designer/developer; or
2. A Web site builder like Domains' Site Builder.
Web site designer/developer
Web designers and developers are specialists in designing and building Web sites. They will be able to advise you on the best colours for your business, what fonts to use, how your information should flow, help you with SEO, and much more.
A professionally designed Web site is expensive, and rightly so, as you are paying for the knowledge, skill and time of an expert.
However, if you are a start-up, a small to medium business, or busy establishing your personal brand, a professionally designed Web site might not always be in the budget. Making changes or adding content to your Web site might not be easy or free either. There are many great companies and freelancers offering this service, but be sure to gain a few references or samples of other sites done, before committing to just any one.
Domains' Web site builder
Alternatively, you can build your Web site yourself using a Web site builder like the Domains advanced Site Builder.
Site Builder puts you in control of everything! Through effortless drag-and-drop functionality, and a choice of over 200 professionally designed Web site templates and thousands of colours, the Domains Web site builder gives you a great base to start your site.
Then, Domains' wide range of plug-ins for e-commerce, SEO, social media, etc, allow you to add even more power to your Web site. In addition to this, Site Builder is responsive (ie, your Web site can be viewed from any device), and it is SSL-ready (ie, your Web site can be encrypted with an important layer of Web site security).
To make things even easier and more cost-effective, Domains includes the price of your domain name*, and monthly hosting in the package.
The choice is up to you
At the end of the day, both decisions will lead to a professional online presence for your company. You should make the choice that makes the most sense for your business at the specific point in time.
