Is it worth making your own website?

Is it worth making your own website?

The three variables are time, interest, and budget. Can you make a website, that is professional for your business needs? Perhaps. Do you have the time, and patience to learn through trial and error? What if that time turns out to be wasted. Can you afford to waste that time? Do you have the budget for a professional? It may be far cheaper in the long run, to bring in a professional, who will also come with advice for best practices, and you concentrate on your core skills for your business? Certainly something to consider.

Very much like plumbing, electrical work, car maintenance, and a fair few other skills, a professional is the correct and cheapest option for the reasons mentioned above.

There is another scenario. You might discover you love it. It maybe you want to throw away your business idea, and become a web designer. It is very rewarding, and if it suits you, fantastic. Welcome to the world of HTML, CSS, CMS, and FTP.
