When you run a Google search on the different ways to build a website, you most likely come across results that advertise free DIY website building. Although these web builders seem to offer you a way to build a great-looking website, they will not fully promote your visual identity and story.

Below are our reasons on why you should do so:

1. With a professional web designer, you have no limits.

Web designers make spectacular websites with knowledge and expertise regarding components such as UX (user experience), multiple code languages, content management systems, and APIs (application programming interface). Such skill lets them create your website exactly the way you want it. On the other hand, DIY web builders don't give you the flexibility to tweak these website elements. Sadly, this restricts the amount of control you have over your visual identity.

2. A Web designer knows how to communicate.

A DIY web builder can give you a pretty website that describes your business. However, a web designer can create a powerful and responsive website that tells your story to your audience. The web designer can do this because he or she knows how people think and react. Knowledge of this, in addition to web design and development skills, help him or her effectively communicate your story online.

3. A professional web designer will listen to you.

Unlike a DIY web builder, a professional designer will take time to listen to your vision and use his or her skill set to build a custom website that communicates what you stand for. What DIY web builder can do that for you? So far, we haven't heard of one.
