Before we get started, take a minute to ask yourself these questions. Firstly, what type of situation are you in? and secondly, what is the intention of your new website?

Learning to create a basic business website isn’t rocket science, if it were then I am pretty sure that there would be a lot more rocket scientists around and a lot less web designers. This isn’t intended to demean web designers (I am one myself).

If you are a business owner or are intending to set up your own business then it may well be that you are the sort of person that can pick up the skills required to build a basic website. The necessary web design subjects that ought to be studied are; HTML, CSS and design fundamentals. For technical type people, it is often very tempting to leap straight in without considering the design aspect of your site. How a website looks on the web will generate a direct impression of a business so making sure that time is spent considering design as well as function is very significant. So before jumping in, you need to ask yourself Are you able to take to time necessary to gain these new skills?

Perhaps you are out of work and wanting to establish your own business. If this is your situation then creating your own basic website is completely achievable.

Your situation may well be at the opposite side of the scale and you may have no spare time. If this is your situation then building your own business website is not going to do you, your business or your family life and favours.

The second question you need to ask yourself is what is the website for? Also have a think about where you fit in to your market and have a look at the websites owned by your direct competitors.

You may well not have any online competitors or you may be promoting comparatively low cost services. A basic business website may well be suitable if this suits your situation and building the website yourself may be the way for you to go.

After looking at the websites belonging to your competitors you might feel that the level of their websites is outside what you can achieve and that presenting a basic website to your market may not gain you any new clients. If this is your situation then employing a professional web designer is may be a better option for your business.
