You want a new website for your business. Your friend knows a thing or two about websites. Great – you can save some money and get them to work on your site instead, while giving them some work. What could go wrong?
Unfortunately, we are always coming across situations where these arrangements have gone wrong. And the results can be stressful, to put it mildly. Here’s why it’s a better idea to choose a professional for your new website.
It’s always better to hire someone based on their results rather than hiring based on how well you get on. This is your business and you want the best result possible.
When you hire a pro, you can research the web designer, see previous designs, read testimonials from clients and talk to them beforehand to find out how it was working with them. You can then enter into the arrangement with confidence knowing that you can expect a great job.
Your hope is that everything will go smoothly, but things go wrong with websites. Something does not look quite how you wanted it, something doesn’t work properly, it’s loading too slowly – whatever it is, a professional will sort out any issues for you without complaint. It’s part of the job.
Your friend might not have the skills, the time commitment or the support you need. And that’s no good when you need your site to go live. If your customers start complaining about problems with your site, this can even have a negative effect on your brand.
When you work with a professional designer, their goal is to make you happy. They want a great end result for you. They care about what they do and they want you to recommend them.
If you hire someone who does a bit of web design on the side, it’s different. Their business will not suffer as a result of this job, and they won’t lose any clients. They don’t have to worry about a bad review losing them business.
A web design company with a good reputation will go above and beyond to make sure you get the result you want. That means you can also expect great communication, and they will treat you with respect and courtesy.
By hiring a professional, you can avoid awkwardness if things go wrong. Things can and do go wrong with websites, and a professional is there to make sure these things get sorted out quickly. You will have no issues with telling a professional what you want changing or fixing.
It’s a bit different when you hire a friend. It can get awkward, and they may be upset that you don’t like their work. You might not want to show your frustration because it could affect your friendship, and it can all become quite difficult.
It’s all well and good when you hire your friend to design your website and they do a great job the first time. But what about when you are not happy with the result? Or when you want extensive changes made? Things can start to get complicated, and it can even put a strain on your relationship.
If you want a good experience and a great end result, it’s always better to hire a professional. It may seem like a good idea to hire a friend, but for something as important as your website, it’s best to avoid taking chances.
