Website guides for small businesses

Plain guides to choosing between a do-it-yourself website builder and a web designer.

• DIY website builder or web designer: which is right for a small business?: Both are fine choices. They suit different people. Here is how to tell which one you are.
• GoDaddy website builder or a web designer: what small businesses should know: GoDaddy is a big name and an easy place to start. Whether it is the right place to finish depends on how much time you have.
• One.com website builder or a web designer: which suits a local business?: One.com bundles a builder with hosting and domains. Handy if you want everything in one place, less so if you are short of time.
• Wix or a web designer: which is better for a small business?: Wix gives you a lot of freedom. Freedom is great until you are the one making every decision.
• Squarespace or a web designer: how to choose: Squarespace templates look good out of the box. The site is only as good as what you put in them.
• WordPress or a web designer: what a small business should know: WordPress can do almost anything. Somebody still has to look after it.
