Appearing on the Internet has become a real problem for companies. The web offers display and visibility, but not only that. Indeed, the Internet is also a space for the supply and demand parties to reach an agreement.
It is therefore logical that professionals including SMEs invest. However, for entrepreneurs without specific internal skills, creating a website can quickly become a headache.
Here are the solutions that allow you to create a professional website.
Create your website with an online editor
Let’s start with the simplest solution: an online website builder. In simple terms, it’s a total package: design, website design tools, hosting, domain names, email addresses, and technical support are usually included in the service.
All the complex technical aspects are taken care of by the editor but don’t assume that this solution is only of interest to beginners. It just depends on the project. When it can be simple, why make it complicated?
Almost all online website builders offer a free basic version, allowing you to test the product and decide if the paid version is worth it. Pricing usually starts at around $10 per month.
But all the basic features are included. If you don’t need an email account, you can even spend a little less. If you are in Switzerland, several publishers will offer you the creation of a professional website cheaply.
Create your website with an independent developer
You can hire freelance developers to build your website instead of outsourcing your website to a web agency. This solution has the advantage of being more flexible. Sometimes it is easier to talk to a person.
In the context of professional websites, you can choose this essential service provider carefully. You can ask him for a list of websites he has created to verify his skills.
The downside to this solution is that, unlike web agents, web agents typically bring together all the talent needed to design effective and comprehensive websites.
Freelance developers can sometimes be lacking in certain aspects of website creation: they may be more skilled in design and usability than in programming, or less familiar with the internet marketing techniques that your website needs, or very good at programming but not very good at graphics…
Create your website: make the right choice
We have just presented you with two possibilities for creating your website. Your choice now depends on several factors: technical difficulty, time, and cost.
Before you decide, please consider the needs and requirements of your project. Do you need a traditional website with your company information or a platform that allows users to communicate with each other?
Using the online website builder, you can easily create a standard website. However, you will not be able to carry out more complex projects, such as social networks.
