Lately we are seeing many clients who have purchased an off-the-shelf model website in the past. These are templated in style and structure and seem great to start off with but over time the flaws appear.
As businesses grow, their needs change and they want to apply these changes to their website but with an off-the-shelf model this isn’t always possible and can lead to frustration and wasted time trying to get help.
The off-the-shelf model often comes with a monthly price tag, too, that lasts forever until you take down the website. Initially this seems attractive when you have hired someone, but over time you could pay double and triple the cost for a mediocre, dated website that has you stuck.
Here at StudioPTBO, we try to cut through all of that and build websites for growing businesses and organizations that are easy to use, expandable and built for you! Our team can create admin areas in the back of a website that allow you to make your own edits and changes, and they can be extensive and powerful.
We just need to know upfront what your needs are and what you would like to have control over. We love being able to hand off the keys sotospeak to our clients when their website launches.
We build custom websites on Wordpress, which in and of itself is quite user-friendly. That’s why we chose it for our clients — so they can easily take over their website once it’s launched, with confidence. We have proven this to be the case with hundreds of successful websites and happy clients.
When it comes right down to it, the key to a good website experience is to do your homework upfront *before* you buy a website from a web designer/agency. The extra knowledge you will gain going in will help you to make good choices that will pay back for you over time.
We’re always happy to help you, give us a call at (705) 742-1908 or email us at [email protected] for more information on custom website development.
