There are a whole load of DIY style web builder sites out there which allow people to make their own basic websites. These are great for people looking for a basic yet functional site which they can build all by themselves, with no need to learn code or write any PHP or HTML. These may not be so ideal for businesses. Let’s take a look why.
The main DIY web builders you are likely to find are Wix.com, GoDaddy, or Weebly. These advertise as a good way to get a basic business site set up, which is true, however they do not allow for much SEO or customised design. SEO is crucial to businesses who want to compete with others in their industry, and most of the DIY builders do not allow you to make the right edits to your page in order for your SEO to improve.
The cost of the DIY web builders is often a pull, as they are substantially cheaper than most independent, professional designers. The only thing you might need to be cautious of is who technically OWNS the site you have built. A lot of the companies offering web builders have in their small print that they own the domain and have rights over your content. Should you wish to transfer your site to a different hosting company, you may find that you cannot.
