Let a professional at it

I was having coffee the other day with a friend who has a lot of I.T. experience. He’s seen it all. We were discussing the fact that a university student is redesigning his organization’s website and he’s a bit skeptical that it’s going to go well.

The student may have a lot of talent and may even have some experience but he’s not a professional. When it comes to web design, a talented designer can make your site look great but is that all you need. A great looking website can attract some new business or draw attention to your organization but there is the risk that it’s too superficial.

An experienced web designer wants the website to look good and work well. Perhaps a little extra help on setting up your site navigation will help your visitors get to the right place quicker. Perhaps a bit of help with a content management system will mean your site operates faster and with less down time. Perhaps some help moving your content from your existing site to the newly redesigned one will mean a bit less writing. Perhaps working with someone with a few more project under their belt is less risky. It might be a bit more expensive to hire a web design company over a student but that extra money might be well worth it if the project doesn’t go well.

I truly wish my friend luck with his website.
