If you are putting up an e-store through eBay or Amazon, chances are you'll bump into the reality of needing a professional website. Though eBay and Amazon provides functional tools to get you started on business, having your own website is still the most convenient way to do what you want for your business.
Putting up a personalized or customized website is hard work. You'll have to buy your own domain, build your own website by structuring it through html and CSS. If you are good enough, you can edit your own photos or make your own videos. However, for many who prefer to concentrate on the business per se, hiring a web designer and a content writer is a convenience and an investment.
It is a convenience because you save time and effort in doing it, and an investment because you put in little money that will reap profits after. Consider it as a task for today in order to conduct better commerce online.
Again, hiring professionals to build your website is preferable if you are busy enough to manage it on your own. Hiring ones who have established themselves in the industry can give you better services. However, not all professionals may provide your needs; and apprentices may also provide you same quality services. The key point is to define what you want for your website and find the right (human) resources for it.
To give you an overview, here are some of the benefits of hiring a web designer and a content writer:
1. The cost for paying talents outside your company costs less than hiring them. Because you pay for the actual output, you save money for overhead production cost.
2. It saves you time. Because you pay per output, the talents aim for more production to earn more. This gives you leverage in determining actual timetable for web design and content needs.
3. You can customize a lot. Because the talents regard you more of a customer than a boss, you can lead the project at your own pace and discretion. This means you'll be able to chart your plan, pull talents to deliver results, and manage it.
4. You are free to determine the duration of the project. You will just have to set the project period at the initial conversation with the talents and be free afterwards. Once you have fulfilled your obligations in the agreement, you are then released from giving financial responsibility.
These four benefits give you more leverage in managing business projects one at a time. If website creation is your priority this month, you can shift to another priority the month after.
Hiring talents is more convenient for busy owners, but it might not be practical for those who can opt for free e-commerce sites first. Determining the right personnel for your website creation depends on your own capability and resources. If you can do it, try it. If you can't, better hire professionals.
Whichever way you choose, a well-designed website with well-written content remains a productive way to do business in the internet.
