One of the biggest mistakes business owners make when buying a website is depending on the web designer to make all the future changes
The automatic assumption by business owners is that the web designer will make all future changes. It is often the assumption by web designers too; especially as it keeps the revenue flowing from client.
One advantage that small and medium sized business have is the ability to respond quickly to your customers. For example, you may wish to change offers daily on your site or edit a section of your site that has confused a client. The problem is that web designers often take an age to make these small changes as they have other bigger work to do.
It is possible to have your designer create a website that you can make changes easily. Often updates are made using a fill in the boxes type approach.
Ask your website designer for a content management system or CMS. These systems can be expensive but don't let this be an excuse to increase your costs by very much.
Content Management system do need some skill in programming for web designers to set up and running. A lot of website designers are missing the skill required.
So dont get stuck depending on your website designer and dont settle for letting your website stagnate.
