Its no wonder that startups and small organisations look at the costs of using professionals to develop a website, and have second thoughts. There are countless solutions available that target this market with low cost or free solutions to allow customers on a budget to develop an online prescence themselves, with little or no knowledge of the web.
Apple's iWeb does just this, but the end results are disappointing when published to the web, or viewed on different browsers and operating systems. Problems include large file sizes, inconsistent layouts and poor performance when moving from page to page, due to the way that the website structure is generated by the software.
The draw of a cheap solution and self sufficiency going forward will remain tempting to small businesses, but as we have seen now in several of our clients cases, the diy route has proved to be a false economy.
