– the spectrum of websites roughly follow this: cheap/free Do-It-Yourself (eg. family or friends help you, Wix, Godaddy, Squarespace) >> “just right” for small businesses (customizable layouts, pro support that helps when you need it, no extra bells and whistles) >> custom programming or robust ecommerce
– 99% of small businesses are best served by the middle option above
– reinventing the wheel and doing something fully custom is often a waste of money because there are established website conventions that your users expect, plus it takes way longer to setup and is harder to edit
– it’s good for a small business to have two options for editing their site: a team of pros who can help them AND ability to edit themselves (on an accessible and simple website)
– a new website or redesign is ready to launch when it can answer these three questions: 1. who are you, 2. what do you do, and 3. how do people get in touch with you… then you can add everything else after the launch
