When websites first popped up, anyone that could build a working website was classed as a ‘web designer’, but in this saturated marketplace, you need more than a built website, you need a website that has been designed. Designed by someone that understands how to attract your ideal customer through visual, typographical and experiential methods. A designer.
Designers thrive on the different, and we are not restricted to grids and boxes, by our very nature, we break out of them.
What we offer at Jili Allen Creative, is a website designed around you and your content, but also designed as an extension of your overall brand and comms, appealing effortlessly to your clientele and putting their attention, as well as their user experience, at the heart of what we do.
So, with that in mind, here are some of the top reasons to choose a designer website over that DIY template.
- A website tailored to you One of the biggest advantages of hiring a web designer is customisation. A web designer can create a website that is tailored to your specific needs and requirements. They can create a unique design that reflects your brand and communicates your message effectively. With an existing template, you are limited to the design and functionality of the template, which may not meet your specific needs. In the same way that an off the shelf ASDA suit will do the job, if you’re buying one suit to look right, feel great, and stand the test of time – a tailor made creation will always reign supreme.
- Professionalism A web designer can create a website that looks professional and polished. They have the skills and expertise to create a design that is visually appealing and easy to navigate. With an existing template, your website may look generic and unprofessional, which can damage your brand image. Think square peg, round hole… and trust me, there’s a lot out there.
- Functionality A web designer can create a website that is functional and user-friendly. They can ensure that your website is optimised for search engines, loads quickly, and is easy to navigate. With an existing template, functionality is limited, which can impact the user experience and ultimately, your bottom line.
- Support When you hire a web designer, you have access to ongoing support and maintenance. They can help you with updates, troubleshooting, and any issues that arise. With an existing template, in all likelihood, you will not have the same level of support, which can be frustrating and time-consuming. We offer hosting and maintenance packages alongside our web design and builds so you always know you can come to us with any issue.
So, while using an existing template may seem like a cost-effective solution, hiring a web designer offers many advantages; a customised, professional, and functional website that meets your specific needs and requirements, for now and in the future.
