Create your website yourself? Or outsource it to a professional?
Nowadays there are many ways to get a website. You can choose to do everything yourself or you can choose a professional to take care of everything for you. We'll show you where you stand!
Table of contents
There are a number of things to consider when creating a website. Here’s a simple list of some things to consider when you want a website. You need:
- A website
- A hosting package
- An SSL certificate
- (optional) a mail package
- A plan…
Usually the above things are easy to purchase when you choose to create your website yourself, but be aware for a moment that these things are going to come up. This can still involve unexpected costs.
Pros and Cons
Of course, there are always pros and cons. Both when you get started yourself, but also when you outsource. The main difference is in the price. Compare it to building a garden shed. When you buy a ready-made garden shed, you spend more money, but you get the garden shed you wanted. If you do it yourself you have to see how you are going to do it, it saves money but unfortunately the end result is not always what you expected.
This is how it works with a website as well.
Getting started yourself
Not everyone has the budget for new website. If you then start working on it yourself it will save money.
Advantages
- Low cost
Handing over
When you outsource a website, there is simply a little more clarity; You know where you stand.
Advantages
- You know where you stand
- No need to worry
- Customized work, by professionals
- More sustainable
What suits you best?
You may not always have a clear understanding of where your business is at the moment, what your target audience expects, what the competition is doing etc…etc… It can be difficult to make the right choice then. Whenever possible, we always recommend partnering with a company that takes your ideas and based on their experience is going to look at what best suits you and how to leave the competition behind.
Having doubts? We have an intermediate solution!
There will be plenty of people who are now thinking, But I have a relatively low budget, but I don’t want to get started myself… what then? We’ve thought about that. Not everyone is comfortable with figuring out the whole story or putting together a website themselves. Also, there will be people who already know that there is not going to be a “nice gazebo”… What to do then?
Template System
With our experience we have created a template that you can use to create your own website. This way you already have a fixed design, you don’t have to look for anything yourself, there are still professionals at work and you know that it will work out well since you also have a sustainable website! The advantage of this template is also that you can expand. We looked at what is included in a basic website. This is all in the basic theme, but there are also things you may want in your website that are not in our theme. At that point, you can have us build those options into your own template for a relatively low fee. That way you can still decide what your website will look like, and we will take care of everything for you. In general, this can be 40-60 percent cheaper than if you want to go into a more personalized process. Wondering if a template is for you? Feel free to ask any questions!
