If you spend a few minutes searching for web design solutions, you will find that the majority of web design companies do not actually design websites. The business model of these so-called ‘web designers’ is attractive – thus their proliferation. It goes like this: Agency purchases a website template on your behalf (average cost: $49). You buy a domain. Agency slaps on the template and instructs you to input content. The end. There is nothing wrong with this approach, but it can hardly be called design.For some clients, we too have built template websites. For businesses that just need something to put on a business card and have no need to impress current customers or attract new business, templates can be the ideal solution for their web design goals. But if you rely on your website to grow your business, then investing in a custom website will save you money in the long-run. And those who have ever worked with templates also know how inflexible and hard-to-work-with they can be.At SmartSites, we build websites as unique as your business. So, yes, we do design websites! A website should highlight your business in the best possible way. Show off your greatest assets. Build trust and credibility. Present you as an authority in your field. The best websites elevate your business. It becomes the cornerstone of your organization.
