Do-it-yourself platforms appear to be a good choice upfront, offering low-cost monthly rate, but what is the true cost of building these websites? The average website for design agencies takes approximately 14 weeks to complete. (https://www.billerickson.net/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-a-website/). During this time there is discovery, design, development, and multiple iterations of revision. This is the time requirement for experienced people in their respective fields to complete a professional website. As a business owner, you need to decide whether your time and effort can be better spent growing your own clientele and profits, or trying to build something that takes specialists over 3 months to complete. In addition, building a website on these platforms does not mean you “own” the website. If you decide to switch to some other platform, you cannot transfer any of the code and settings you made because it’s not actually yours. A Get Websited site is yours to do with as you see fit.
Other design agencies want you to spend large amount of budget on design, so they will encourage you to be detailed and particular about your design. However, with responsive design being so important now, more than half of companies have realized that the best way to do this is to simplify their designs (https://www.impactbnd.com/blog/mobile-marketing-statistics-for-2016). Creating a website to exactly how you envision it does not bring you a beneficial return on your design investment. By allowing Get Websited designers the freedom to make the best decisions for your website, we save you both money and time.
Get Websited wants to provide you with a great website for your business that you can be proud of. We want to represent your brand strategy as an extension of your marketing campaign. As such, we want to know about your typography, colors, logo, business and marketing information, and images you want as content on your website. Our designers will structure and implement this information and content into a professional web presence. Even after completion, you will have an opportunity to review and provide feedback on the final product before its published.
Get Websited websites are built Wordpress, which is the most popular content management system for building websites. Over 1/4th of websites across the internet use Wordpress (https://managewp.com/statistics-about-wordpress-usage). This is because of how user friendly it is, and Get Websited will structure your site to be easily edited. Though if you plan on growing your website, or you just don’t have the time to update and monitor your site yourself, Get Websited offers support packages to retain our services throughout the year.
Your potential customers have the ability to access all of your competition instantly, and half of consumers get their research from search engines (https://www.impactbnd.com/blog/mobile-marketing-statistics-for-2016). If you are not on the first page of a Google search, 9/10th’s of users will never see you at all (https://www.quora.com/How-many-Google-searchers-go-to-page-two-of-their-search-results). Optimizing how search engines index your website (known as SEO) will be critical to draw in new customers and grow your business.
The amount of mobile users are increasing every year. It is important that your website and the emails you send can respond to all screen sizes. 4/5ths of all internet users use smartphones, and 1/3rd of all mobile users only check emails on their phone (https://www.impactbnd.com/blog/mobile-marketing-statistics-for-2016).
