Why do I need a Website Designer to build me a WordPress site?
You can build a site yourself, but at the end of the day, and with all the best will in the world, the self builder will only be able to scratch the surface of what WordPress is capable of. Not only that but the world is becoming more tuned in to what sites use templates and what are custom designed sites. As the self builder will only be able to use a WordPress template they could potentially harm their business by producing a site that looks sub-standard. Also, templates can look shoe-horned into trying to match a businesses branding and image.
The self builder will also be limited from a technical point of view. The way that WordPress extentions are intergrated into their site will not be as seamless as what a more experienced web designer can do. Again this can have the effect of harming their businesses on-line presence as the finished site will not have the professional polish that is required to effectivly hold their own against the competition.
Finally, a WordPress website is, at the end of the day, A WEBSITE! Websitesneed to be designed and built by professionals in order to get the best out of them. From a marketing point of view, from the way that they work, how they gather data, how they fit in with the image a company wants or needs to portray, how they perform in the search engines and how they interact with the sites target audience.
The way that a WordPress website best works is if the way that it looks and functions is developed and built by an experienced web site designer working closely with the company in order to make sure that the site exactly matches their expectations. Then the management and maintenance of the site is continued by the company in order to keep the site fresh and exciting.
