There are pros and cons to DIY site building for small business owners. Is is possible to create an asset that delivers sales and leads to your business but you do have to be prepared to devote the time required to educate yourself, research and assemble the right tools for the job. Just knowing how to build a site doesn’t mean it will get found in the search engines, engage the visitor or convert to sales.

There’s a place for do it yourself, and a place for professionals. Too often, we err on the side of doing it ourselves. I think it’s related to our small town self-reliance.

I’m a web designer from a small town in Australia and I’ve talked to three separate business owners in the last year that have gotten websites through younger family members.

Each one has had major issues; one site took six months, another took 3 months and then said he didn’t know how to complete it and another used images that weren’t licensed.

You get an electrician in to rewire, you get a plumber to fix the toilet, if you’re going to the trouble to assemble all the content, photos, web hosting etc use a professional web designer.
