Should I hire web developer or go for website Builder in Auckland, New Zealand?

From 2001 to 2010, Website building platform was playing dominating role in IT industry. People usually like website builder for standard quality, easy to maintenance features. However, scenario is changed completely. Business owner invest money and time to local digital agency to get better support for their website. “Local website designer or agency can understand your business, your business need and respect your locality while designing website” said Arran Smith, Professional website designer Auckland, New Zealand. 

I am going to point out some important issues regarding website builder. To be honest, I am not big fan for website builder. 

1.       Lack of Unique view or Creative design: 

      This is the top demerits for website builder. I tried many website builders especially for accountant, doctors /dentists. I found that variety of theme is few in website builder. It looks wizard when many people is using same theme for their business website. Some of website builder company engage marketing rather improving or adding new creative theme or templates.

2.       Expensive: 

      According to my experience, website builder is really expensive , if you compare average cost of website designing by agency. Some website builder is not giving any access to hosting file or source file. You have to spend money each year for your website. For example: One top website builder company offer $1000 for gold package each year. You need to pay $5000 for 5 years , though you need to pay only $1500 for one off website designing by local digital agency.

3.       No Access on File:  

       Very few website builder company offer access to source file. It means you are totally depends on them for any modification, update. You can move to other hosting or other service provider, if you are not happy with there services. 

4.       Not Search Engine friendly: 

      It is strong demerits for website builder. We are developing or designing website for getting new customers or leads. If search engine do not like my site or hard to get rank, it will be worst experiences with website. 70% website builder is not search engine friendly, specially url structure is very poor, use lots of frame , website structure is to much dynamic and complicated to google. If you use E-commerce website builder for E-shop, it will be really hard time for your business.  

5.       Copy Content: 

      We should not blame website Builder Company for copy content. When p ple use website builder, then can easily get ready made content for their services or products. People usually feel lazy for changing content as they already have content. In 2014, Ben William did research on website which is developed by website builder. 75% web site is using same content which provide by Builder Company.   

6.       Poor Customer Support:  

      Some of website builder has satisfied customer support. Unfortunately most of them have not localized customer support for business owner. You may not face this problem, if you hire local digital agency . 

Why you should hire local website designer for your business : 

1.       Communication: You can easily visit their office or have chit chat regarding your business website. It can be easiest solutions for getting highly professional website. 

2.       Design what you are looking for : A local website designer have knowledge on your locality and local business. He can give proper tech plan for your website. Besides, he can make unique and creative design what you are looking for!

3.       Affordable and High Quality: Before hiring local experts, you may contact with your friends or locals regarding digital agency. There is high chance to get to quality and affordable company for designing business website. 

4.       Customer Support: You need to update service news or product news time to time. Local digital agency can provide top class customer support, because you may visit or call them regarding your need and support.

To sum up, I am not against for website builder or website builder technology. Lots of tech professionals or experts with website builder to fulfil customer needs. Website builder is reliable, easy to use. Drag and drop and top quality. However, I love to hire website designer for my business website. I need to get unique and creative website with after work support from local experts.
