A Web Design Comparison
It is interesting to learn that many people are unaware they have options in web design. Many assume the only option is to hire a web design firm and have them build your site from scratch. Would it surprise you to learn there are at least two other choices available? The first is to use a web builder like BuildAGreatSite.com to develop your site personally. This option is by far the least expensive and empowers you to develop your site the way you want it. There is another choice from BuildAGreatSite.com. You can have one of our designers utilize the web building tools to develop a site for you or your business.
We'd like to provide a comparison between a traditional web designer and customized web development through BuildAGreatSite.com.
Preliminary Design
When a traditional website designer works on a new site they must develop columns, layout, and other page design elements. This process is repeated often as each new page is developed. More than 3/4th of the time spent on a web design is based on the repetition of numerous steps.
BuildAGreatSite.com designers utilize state-of-the-art templates to rapidly import data into a common site design. This process means that the overall cost is minimized and the time needed to develop a unique site is relegated to a matter of days instead of weeks.
Let's comparison-shop.
Cost (Based on a five page web design)
Traditional Designer: $900-$10,000
BuildAGreatSite.com: $19.98 per month
Analysis: You can't fault traditional designers, they have to create every element of your website from start to finish using multiple programs and codes. Many times these designers have multiple clients they are designing for so it can take a while for your site to be fully developed. On the other hand, the use of a vast array of customizable web designs available though BuildAGreatSite.com allow your site to be designed rapidly and you can change templates if you find the one you are working with just isn't working for your needs.
Time
Traditional Designer: 3-6 weeks.
BuildAGreatSite.com: 3 days-2 weeks
Analysis: The cost factor discussed above has much to do with the time involved in setting a website up. With traditional designers there may be an increase in workloads of 75% or more. Because BuildAGreatSite.com relies on customizable templates you can realize a significant cost savings and have your site available to customers sooner.
Personalization
Traditional Designer: As much as their skill will allow.
BuildAGreatSite.com: The same tools are available to all clients.
Analysis: A traditional web designer can customize your website in many ways. You can also customize your site with BuildAGreatSite.com as well. You have unlimited color options and over 1,500 template choices which gives you total control.
The Site - It Needs Changin'
Traditional Designer: 7 days
BuildAGreatSite.com: 3 minutes
Analysis: When you become a customer of most web designers you are treated with the utmost care. They want your site to be special and pleasing to you as a customer. You have to understand web designers have to gain new clients and sometimes their workload doesn't allow immediate changes to your site when you may need them most. In most cases you will also need to pay an additional fee to have any item fixed on your website. This fee is generally $50-75 per hour.
With BuildAGreatSite.com the guesswork has been taken out of the equation by placing control of your website in your hands. Navigating the password protected design site can allow you to make your own changes when you need them. No waiting for the next available designer, simply log on and make the changes, which are effective the moment you submit the edited page.
