The excitement begins

At the start, doing it yourself seems great. Surely paying for web design is for chumps, if you can do it yourself. It's the cheapest option, so why WOULDN'T you?

You sit down at your computer, ready to start making your own website and saving THOUSANDS. You're excited. The birds are singing. The sky is blue, and you realise you've been pretty clever here. You're beating all those charlatans who charge silly money for something you can do yourself.

You turn to WordPress, and Google 'how to build a website yourself'. You read all these amazing articles about how:

• “You don’t need an expensive designer“
• “You can get it all done on WordPress using just a few widgets“
• “it’s easy! You can have complete control over your website, and edit it anytime you want!“

So you eagerly set out, determined to prove that you can have a brand-new website that looks incredible, ranks, highly on Google, and brings in new customers. All for under £100.

Several months later, it's still not done.

It all started so well. Then, after countless days and nights, staring at a screen with your head in your hands (instead of running your business), reality sets in. You've had to learn:

• Graphic Design, basic colour theory and user psychology
• Target Market Research, and how to write compelling website copy
• Development, how to write custom code, and the dreaded JavaScript (ugh!)
• SEO, how to optimise for Google, and optimise your code for fast load speeds
• How to run Instagram and Facebook Advertising Campaigns

Your time is valuable. Too valuable for this. Instead of spending it doing the important things like getting more sales, running your business, or spending time with your family, you’re trapped in your office in a prison of your own making, spending every waking hour fighting with WordPress widgets, that just won’t do what you want them to do. And to make them, you have to learn HOW TO CODE (ugghh).

Writing text for your website, and rewriting it because it just doesn't seem quite right. You hear yourself think (for the 17th time this evening) "I just need to do one more edit"…

Scrawling through stock photo sites, trying to find that one perfect image for your header banner. The one that really defines your company, and makes the masses all flock to YOU for their needs.

Not to mention that you’ve had to learn about colour theory and the many principles of graphic design. It turns out 'design ISN'T easy'. Turns out 'anyone CAN'T do it'.

The result?

So the end result is that you’ve got a badly designed website, that’s eaten a month of your life, and caused you, nothing but stress. All in pursuit of getting a website  “FOR FREE”. The real cost, is your sanity, your time, your health, your business, and your relationship with your family.

But hey. You did it all yourself for under £100. Was it worth it?

Change the narrative. Stop trading your most valuable asset - your time - and get more in value per £ spent than you'd ever achieve on your own:
