We believe that small businesses have been getting a bit of a raw deal when it comes to websites. There are two main options - do it yourself or pay someone else to do it for you. Increasingly, the DIY option is more readily available through tools such as Wix and Squarespace. However, the biggest downside to these options is the time it takes to set them up and keep them updated.
As a small business owner, it's likely that the best use of your time is spent on things other than mucking around with a website. So, your better option is to outsource to a website design agency. However, you can be sure that for every good agency (like us) there are another 10 that are either not in it for the long haul, under priced, overpriced or just plain bad at what they do.
And how are you to know the difference? More importantly, how are you to know the difference before you shell out your hard-won time and money on working with any given website design agency?
