Are you wondering whether or not you should hire a web designer? Here I share 6 reasons my clients hire me. Yes, I am a web designer, so I encourage you to do your research before making a decision. This is based on my experience as a designer.

Here are 6 Reasons to Hire a Web Designer:

1) Hiring a Web Designer Can Save You a Lot of Time

There are so many reasons that hiring a web designer can save you time. Sure, many business owners can design their own websites, just like anyone can cut their own hair. Is it always a good idea to DIY everything? Probably not. But here are some reasons that hiring a web designer can save you time:

• You shorten the learning curve. It takes a lot time and dedication to learn a new skill.

• Not only do you need to spend time to learn a new skill, you then need to take the time to implement it.

• You can save the time it takes to learn best practices or web design.

• Instead of spending your value time learning a new skill you can spend more time working on your business or spend more time with friends, family, or enjoying your hobbies.

2) You Benefit From the Experience and Skills of the Web Designer

Like mentioned above, it takes time to develop web design skills. Even if you teach yourself how to design your own website you will still be at the beginner skill level. When you hire a designer you acquire the skill level and experience of that designer, which can be worth years and years of skill. You save yourself the headache and time it takes to learn and develop those skills. You’re business will reap the benefits of your designer’s skill level.

3) Hiring a Professional Web Designer Can Ensure That Your Website Is Designed Strategically

There are best practices to consider when designing a website. When you hire a professional designer you’re hiring someone who has experience and knowledge of what goes into an effective website. The designer should consider the layout, high-quality content, copywriting, user experience, search engine optimization, and more. Web design is a larger task than most people see on the surface and it should be strategic.

4) Hiring a Web Designer Can Actually Save You Money

Yes, hiring a professional web designer requires an investment but overall it will save you money. The reason is that hiring a designer saves you time and your time is money! Instead of wasting hours, days, weeks, and sometimes even months of trying to YouTube your way through the learning process you could be spending value-added time on your business. Instead of spending time designing your website you could be on sales calls or working on client work; meaning you could be doing the things that bring in more money for your business!

5) Hiring a Web Designer Can Get Your Website Up and Running Quicker

As mentioned earlier, DIY’ing your website takes time. Even if you sit at your computer 24/7 watching YouTube video after YouTube video, practicing your new skills, pulling out your hair trying to get all the tech stuff to work, etc. you still won’t be at the same skill level as an experienced web designer. Most people tend to procrastinate tasks they don’t have the skills (or time) to complete, which is why hiring an experienced web designer can help you launch your website quicker. There’s power in outsourcing things in your business. The sooner you can learn to outsource, the quicker your business can grow.

6) Hiring a Web Designer Can Give You Added Support

By hiring a professional web designer you’re automatically adding a website support member to your team, so to speak. A great web designer will be helpful and make sure the process of designing and launching your website is as stress-free as possible. They’ll also provide some support at launch time and even after. Whether they offer maintenance plans or teach you how to manage your site yourself, you should receive support from your web designer. You’re paying for a professional service and therefore you should not be left alone to struggle through it yourself. Support can be invaluable.
