The true cost of DIY websites
Time is money for a small-business owner. When you build a website yourself, you have the best intentions, but you're taking time away from other key projects in your business. A website with the features and quality that Simple Steps provides will take an an average user an estimated 45-80 hours. Those hours can translate into huge dollars. Let a professional build your website and save you money!
Let’s say you bill clients $60/hour. And you’re fairly tech savvy, so you are open to the idea of building a website yourself. The fact is, if you don’t have a lot of experience with web development or search engine optimization, it might take you some time to learn the skills to build the website that meets your needs.
Here are a few things that you will spend time on:
(2 hours) Transferring your domain.
(1 hour) Signing up for your new drag-and-drop web builder and setting up your account and getting the hang of the tool
(1 hour) Finding a good theme and entering basic information about your business.
(16 hours) Building all your pages and writing the content.
(4 hours) Finding the perfect pictures for your website.
(8 hours) Tweaking the styles and design of your pages to give your page a custom look.
(8 hours) Perfecting your SEO strategy.
(4 hours) Testing your site on different browsers and devices to ensure everything functions as it should.
(4 hours) Installing analytics and google tag manager.
(1 hour) Setting up your blog and connecting it to your social media page.
