Why $1 Business Websites are a Bad Idea

Getting a website for $1.00 is not a good way to start your new business. There, I said it. If you think you are going to impress anyone with a one dollar website, you should save the dollar and not go into business. There, I just saved you a ton of money and a lot of heartache, including the outrageous renewal money after the $1 website marketing offer ends and your stuck with what you’ve got.

If you want to be taken seriously as a business, you need to appear as a serious business. First impressions mean a lot. The effort and skills required to make a $1 website look professional, be found in searches and keep visitors attention far outweigh the initial cost savings. Oh, it can be done. But what new business owner has time to learn graphics, content creation, information architecture, search engine optimization, page speed optimization, server caching techniques and everything else that goes along with a successful website?

Save your dollars up and get an affordable website developed for you by someone that can get you on the first page of search results with graphics and content that keeps visitors coming back. It is a small investment into starting your business with a website that will pay you back with customers, not disappointment.
