Design and Build Your Own Site for Best Results

If you’re an industry leader, you realize that you must have a better website than your competition and a frequently updated blog to reach your existing and potential customers. So you make a few inquiries, and the next thing you know, you’re bombarded with offers to maintain, update or reinvent your site. Not long ago, your options for website builders in your area or do-it-yourself drag-and-drop programs were slim.

As with all things on the Internet, however, the times they are a-changing. And if you don’t keep up, you’ll be left for dead.

These days, the digital landscape is so full of website developers, blog creators, SEO analysts and social media consultants that it’s difficult to know where to turn or whom to trust. There just isn’t time to vet all the offers, try all the options and decide who’ll use your hard-earned profits wisely to build you a better website.

Researching Better Website Tools

At Ray Access, we don’t begin a new writing project without thorough research. It’s one of the ways we stand out from the off-the-cuff, opinionated bloggers out there. To that end, we’d like to give a shout-out this week to Reviews.com, a website that has taken research to a whole new level — with in-depth data retrieval, pertinent surveys and factual, scientific analyses.

For example, they recently did research for all you do-it-yourself website developers out there and put it all together in a blog post titled The Best Website Builder. They scoured the Internet and tested the better website-building tools to come up with a few recommendations, such as:

• Squarespace
• Weebly
• Wix

To reach their conclusions, they studied 41 different website-building sites and actually used the tools to create an online business. They watched tons of tutorials and read a slew of relevant reviews. They talked to website designers, content creators and full-service marketing agencies. They did the work so you don’t have to.

More Than a Best-of List

For each of the three recommended website-building sites, the researchers at Reviews.com provided the pros and cons, info about payment options and remarks about specific issues they ran into while using the programs. The blog post they crafted from their research isn’t just another “Best of” or “Top 10” list available elsewhere. They substantiated their claims with value statements and real-life scenarios to help small business owners, entrepreneurs and larger companies that don’t want to outsource their website development.

The writers and editors at Ray Access specialize in the content we put on your website pages, not in the design or development. We’re decidedly not in the business of creating better websites or mobile apps. So we’re a natural choice to fill out your website once you’ve selected a platform. We believe that when you stick to what you do best, you can be the best at what you do.
