We are asked this question from time to time. Only in very rare circumstances would a build it yourself website be recommended. There is no shortage of freely available drag and drop website builders. Most of the free solutions monetize their products by placing ads on your website. Generally it is easy for someone without technical knowledge to modify the pre-built templates by adding photos and changing some colors. These pre-built templates work on mobile devices as well. However, if the goal of your website is to rank in search engines and you have a larger project that is expected to drive business you are going to need to have full control over your site. Page load speed is becoming a more and more significant part of SEO. Choosing what elements are on your page, and how they are loaded has a direct effect your page speed.
The website builders on the marketing simply do not give you the total control you need. You need a professional web developer who has complete access to your custom built site to achieve success. 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.
