Can you have a professional custom designed website made for your business on a small budget? The answer, of course, is “it depends on what you want”, but if your needs can be met with a simply designed template, you can establish a presence for your business on the internet. Expanded features, sections and complex functionality (like e-commerce shopping carts) can be added later, and when your “starter” website has a well thought out structure it will not require a complete overhaul to integrate the new features.
An example from my portfolio is Painting by Bianco. A small company of two people, they needed a way to easily show off their portfolio to prospective clients . The look is elegant and clean, and the template that I created includes easily interchangeable elements, so that when the time comes to develop it further, the new elements can be added on quickly.
Here are my top two ways you can help your designer bring the project to completion on time and under budget:
- Have website materials ready to go: submitting the final version of all website text will guard against time-consuming revisions, organizing and giving your images a descriptive name will help streamline the process.
- Give timely feedback: creating a website is a collaborative process between client and designer. Your input is invaluable, and keeps the project moving forward.
Even when you have limited resources, a custom, professionally designed website is within your grasp.
