The choice is yours. If you are starting up your own small business or simply wish to promote yourself, sell your house, show off your children - there are a multitude of places available to find information and make your personal/company website become a reality. Let's take a look at what is on offer in the Do-it-Yourself Web Design packages, what the basics are and how they can help you.
If you begin from scratch you can research online advice on how to design your first website. Alternatively you can take an online course. Research these well online and you can bypass buying lots of unnecessary software (i.e. WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) software) - find the sites that offer the tuition, know how and include the software in the deal. These courses range from free, upwards of £70 to £300. A small annual charge is payable for the domain name (www. company or your name.something).
There are numerous free sites which claim to offer the web designer the possibility to easily build a website with no technical skills required. Some do a 'one stop' box where you pay a flat fee, install the discs, follow the instructions and using their templates as a starting point, design and optimise to your own requirements. These systems are very basic and some promise 100s of templates which are customisable as well as free web hosting and no banner or pop-up ads. Once again there is an annual fee payable for the domain name. This would be a good first stop for someone with limited technical skills.
If you are more IT literate and want to design your website with minimum outlay there are innumerable sites out there offering packages so you can buy, install and customise your site for your own business or agency, again these sites all depend on your confidence in IT and your knowledge of things such as: HTML codes, (there are lots of sites demistyfying this side of the process) web hosting, (sometimes this comes free) your knowledge of graphic design, layout skills, marketing strategy, target audience and market research tools.
If doing it yourself is too daunting there are, of course, professional web designers who can get you started. A web designer is very similar to a graphic designer. Many graphic designers have become web designers. A web designer concentrates on the user interface and often develops programming skills that enables them to include features in the interface. A web designer will be responsible for layout, colour palettes, usability and will work with you to get the best results for your product/company. A Web Developer would be someone with a more computer programming oriented background.
These professionals can range from £25-30 an hour to £100s and some will require your total budget figure so they know their boundaries. Often word of mouth is a good way to find a good designer - failing that there is once again a vast choice available online.
With all the rapid expansion in specialisation in communication design and IT fields it is important to be clear between web design for web pages and web development for the overall logistics of all web-based services.
