New business owners and entrepreneurs know they need a website but often struggle with how to obtain one. Should they attempt to design and build a website themselves using one of the popular platforms out there? The platforms claim it's easy to do, but the real deal is you need a lot of time, patience, and design and some tech skills to succeed.

Consider hiring a professional web designer

An alternative approach is to budget for hiring a web designer. You will still have to provide content but a designer will work with you to ensure the website meets all your needs. A web designer will customize the design and structure of the website so that it is uniquely styled to your business with the features you need for your business.
