As a business owner, I know you've been working tirelessly to build your new business from the ground up. Now you're ready to finally launch yourself into the online world.

Perhaps you're looking into purchasing a DIY website template, but you're not really sure how to use the platform. Or, maybe you've already made an attempt at creating your own site with a website builder, but it didn't really turn out how you wanted. You've probably also realized by now how time-consuming designing a website can be, but you really need to focus on growing your business instead.

Well, I have good news! Keep reading to find out why you should outsource a professional to take care of it all for you.

1. You're Not Really Sure What You're Doing

Most entrepreneurs are good at what they do, hence the reason they start their own business! But it's likely that their expertise isn't in digital design.

In the beginning of a start-up business, many small business owners will try to save money by creating their own website using a website builder. The main problem with this is, you can end up with a design that is unresponsive, difficult to navigate and visually unappealing to the customer. Ultimately, this is what will lose your business more money in the long-run.

2. You Want A Professionally Designed Custom Website

How a customer views your website can leave a lasting impact on how they view your business. That's why it's so important to establish a well-respected and professional presence online. After all, a staggering 94% of a customer's first impression is based on your website’s design!

Investing in a Web Designer means you can avoid those basic, cookie-cutter website designs by allowing someone who specializes in digital creation to create a unique experience and lasting memory for your customers.

Want your website to thrive long-term? Choosing the right Web Designer will not only guarantee an attractive online appearance for your business, but will also set you up for success by ensuring your site is responsive and mobile-friendly (a MUST in today's technology-driven world).

3. Get A Leg Up On The Competition

Anyone can throw together a website, but not everyone can design it well. Many times, business owners who opt for creating their own website don't end up with a properly-functioning website or a positive experience for their users.

So while your competitors choose the more cost-effective approach, you my friend, can invest in your long-term success by outsourcing a professional who really knows what they're doing. This will help you far exceed your competition and show your customers that you're legit and you mean business!

4. A Dependable And Responsive Website Is Key

A well-designed, cohesive and high-performing website is a huge asset to any brand. It helps you build trust with your audience and gain credibility as a new business owner.

There's nothing worse than having a customer try to navigate a choppy layout, or have them run into broken links or other missing information. Hiring a professional designer comes with the assurance that if (and when) something with your website goes wrong -- or needs to be updated -- you can have it done quickly and efficiently. This ensures your website can keep running smoothly and continue making you money!

5. You Just Don't Have The Time

As a full-time (or even part-time) entrepreneur, you are extremely busy! Creating your brand identity, setting up the framework for how your business will function, and hundreds of other details should be at the forefront of your to-do list.

You probably don't have time to worry about building your own website when you're immersed in all things business. By hiring a pro, you can avoid the hassle of trying to learn a website building software and save yourself countless hours of editing webpage after webpage.

So if your budget allows, you may want to consider letting a reputable Web Designer handle the tech side of things so you can focus on other crucial aspects of your business.
