They lamented, \u201cI just made a start on my website and now have realised that I need professional help. Can you help me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the first time we\u2019ve heard this from a client and it won\u2019t be the last time either. At eCBD, we\u2019ve helped hundreds of frustrated Australian business owners fix their websites and begin to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>First, let\u2019s talk Do It Yourself Websites.<\/p>\n<p>There are several platforms for DIY Websites. These include offerings like Wix and Squarespace or you can use a template for platforms like WordPress or Shopify. &nbsp;These platforms have a place in the market and although going it your own way is not something we suggest to our clients, there are some benefits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIY Website Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They are affordable<\/li>\n<li>You can launch in one day<\/li>\n<li>They are ideal for people with lots of time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are not creative or suffer from a chronic case of No Time, then the DIY platforms may not be for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The first question to ask yourself is,&nbsp; &#8220;Are you trying to be a web designer, or are you trying to launch and grow your business?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DIY Website Disadvantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You will potentially waste your time and energy creating a website that doesn\u2019t generate leads or sales.<\/li>\n<li>Using a DIY platform may put functionality, growth and marketing limitations on your site.<\/li>\n<li>Your inferior website may reflect badly on your superior services or products.<\/li>\n<li>You may set back the launch of your website whilst trying to do it all yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/web-design-stats-for-2020\">this study<\/a>, back in 2010, there were little over 201 million websites. At the time of writing this article, there are 1,993,023,113 websites online right now. That\u2019s an awful lot of websites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The next question to ask yourself is, &#8220;Can you create a website that stands alone by yourself?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Still think you can do it? Here are some facts we\u2019d like you to consider.<\/p>\n<p>1. In the first quarter of 2021, mobile devices generated 54.8% of global website traffic. (Statista, 2021).<\/p>\n<p>This shows that it is of great importance to have a website that is optimised for mobile devices and tablets as well as desktops.<\/p>\n<p>2. 42% of people will leave a website because of poor functionality. &nbsp;(Top Design Firms, 2021)<\/p>\n<p>We are a fickle bunch. If we can\u2019t find what we\u2019re looking for almost immediately, we\u2019re onto the next. This is true for how a website performs and what information we find once we land on it.<\/p>\n<p>3.&nbsp; &nbsp; 50% of consumers believe that website design is crucial to a business\u2019s overall brand. (Top Design Firms, 2021)<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to websites, looks really do matter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The last question we want you to ask yourself is, &#8220;Are you a business owner or a web designer?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chances are you are a business owner and not a web designer.&nbsp; That&#8217;s why you should leave designing a website for professionals, like eCBD.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re here to help shoulder the weight of designing a website so that you can focus on your business. Let us smash your goals and meet growing user expectations by creating a website that performs well and looks good while doing it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How our high level designs help you stand out from
