Your Lake Forest products, services and business need to be showcased in the best way possible.
Websites often have fatal issues that simply cannot be fixed when built by a web designer in Lake Forest.
Poor user experience because of how long a page takes to load and because of browser compatibility issues are at the top of the list of problems we see.
The time and effort it takes to repair the issues on poorly built websites does not make financial sense. It generally is more cost effective to build a new site versus trying to repair an existing one.
It is important that you understand the costs, timelines and the pros and cons of sticking with your current website or building a new one. We present each client with a detailed analysis to help them make the choice that best matches their goals and budget.
This is a question we are asked by our clients and for some businesses a build-it-yourself website is the right move. For others it is most definitely not. There are many website builders out there that allow you to create smaller website (just a few pages) and host it for a monthly fee. They are often optimized for mobile delivery and the pre-built templates allow simple modifications such as changing colors and adding photos. If, however, you need a larger site or if you want to use your site as the basis of an SEO project you would do better building a site that you have full control of. Determining what elements are on your page and how they are loaded is vitally important. How fast your website loads is quickly becoming one of the more Significant parts of SEO.
A custom-built website gives you control over these factors, but a website-builder does not. Most website builders that do not run ads require a monthly payment. If you stop paying the monthly fee your website goes away. You are tied to the provider you choose and cannot take your website anywhere else. A custom-built website is different. You own the site and can choose to host it wherever you want and work with the web development company of your choosing.
The short answer is longer than you think. It takes time to plan, prepare and execute. Even single landing page for a PPC ad campaign takes time to design and develop properly. Most projects take around 3 months while smaller ones can be completed in is as little as 6 weeks. Planning ahead and having realistic timelines helps. On average larger web development projects easily go into the six month time frame.
