We are asked this question from time to time. Only in very rare circumstances would a build it yourself website be recommended. You can create a website and host it for free with some website builders on the market today. Most of the pre-built templates from these sources allow you to change a color or add a photo in addition they are optimized for mobile devices. If SEO is important to you and you expect to show up on the first page of google and attract new leads, having full control over your site is a must. How fast your website loads and displays is important. Having total control of where elements are locasted is essential for SEO.
A custom-built website gives you control over these factors, but a website-builder does not. Keep in mind that by using a web-site builder you are locked in to their system. You are locked into a monthly fee. If you stop paying you will lose your site. You are renting your website. You do not have access to the source code and cannot move your website. Custom built solutions do not allow you to own your site. You have the freedom to choose your web development company and move to any hosting company you like.
It takes longer than people generally realize to build a website. There is planning, preparation and execution. The quickest build is a landing page for PPC AD Campaigns, even the simplest of landing pages still takes time. Small business websites usually run in the 2 to 3 month range. Smaller sites can be done in about half that time frame. Midsize to large web development projects usually take 6 months or longer. The important take away is to set aside a realistic amount of time for the completion of your project.
An account executive should meet with you prior to the start of any graphic concepts or coding followed by several meetings during the life cycle depending on the size and scope of the project. Your meetings can be remote or in person, but the are required for a successful outcome.

People often ask when should I start SEO? The SEO process starts before a single line of code is written. Successful search engine optimization starts in the planning phase of a website and is defined by the goals of the project. Content development is something we help our clients with on an on-going basis. We make sure each article or page produced is high quality and flows with the websites structure. With the major search engines cracking down on auto generated or do it yourself drag and drop websites 'Technical SEO' is more important than even. Every piece of code written needs to be optimized for speed and usability across all devices.
Large scale effects can be felt from lack of adherence to the most basic of website design principles. As simple as it seems the defining factor in your online presence can be the design and coding principles used on your website.
