When a development company builds your website on their proprietary CMS, you’re locked into their system. This means you may lose flexibility and control over your website, and in some cases, the company might even own your written and visual content—key elements of your brand identity. It’s better to use widely supported platforms like WordPress, Shopify, or Squarespace to maintain control and avoid dependency.Â
For most standard websites, you don’t need a $75 dedicated server or $99 managed WordPress hosting. Affordable and reliable hosting options are available that provide great performance without breaking the bank.
A domain name should typically cost you about $20 per year. If you’re being charged $50 per month for a domain by a design agency, it’s likely a red flag, and you should explore other options.
No, buying cheap profile and directory backlinks can harm your website’s SEO and put your organic search engine traffic at risk. It’s always better to focus on high-quality, ethical link-building strategies that align with search engine guidelines.
Not necessarily. If you’re not going to actively use platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube to engage with your customers, it’s better not to create accounts. Inactive profiles can harm your brand image more than not having them at all.
A blog can be a powerful content marketing tool if used effectively. However, it requires a consistent posting schedule, high-quality content, and proper keyword research to drive meaningful results. If you’re not prepared to commit to this, a blog might not be the best investment for your business.
