If you are paying for a website to be created there is one big mistake you might make. You may end up depending on your web designer for future alterations.
For most business owners is it a natural assumption that your website designer will make changes to your site in the future. Web designers will often make the same assumption as it can be a nice revenue earner.
It is a key advantage for SME's to be reactive to their clients and the market. Being able to update your site to reflect changes in your offering daily on your site or fix a spelling mistake is important. Often web designers will take a long time to complete simple changes as they are too busy with other more rewarding projects.
Instead of having to depend on your website designer you can have a website created that allows you to make some or all the amendments instantly. The amount you can change will depend on your skill level but websites can offer different systems to match your level and your need to make changes.
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.
One issue you may have is that CMS requires some programming knowledge. Not all designers have this skill and may not be able to look after or setup a CMS.
If you do not wish your website to be out of date and stale then make sure you do not get stuck depending on your website designer to make changes going forward.
