Nowadays, you can easily create a website on your own using of the many available tools on the internet. The affordability of these solutions is often tempting, and it initially looks like a sustainable great solution for your business needs. Later, however, customers of these online services often run into problems with their subscription which does not allow them to do everything they have initially had in mind. Moving to a more advanced program often costs much money and gives you a ton of unnecessary functionalities that does not help you in any meaningful way.
The final cost of your website
Most often, services that let you create a website on your own offer some sort of subscription with a free-to-use option with minimal functionality. Just sign up and you can start creating. Sounds great, right? At least until you find out that your free subscription program does not even let you to have your own domain, e.g. yourcompany.com. Instead, you are left with something like http://ourgreattool.com/yourcompany. Do you really think that this way you will give your customers the impression of being a serious company? Paid subscriptions often cost a lot of money and you are still only renting your website until the company decides to go out of business. Should such a case happen, you will need a completely new website, a new domain, your customers will be confused, and business will be negatively affected by this situation.
