If you are on the fence of whether you should get a website designed or hold off for a little, keep reading!

If you’re just starting out in business you do not need a custom website design. You might be thinking wait aren’t you a website designer yourself? Yes, I am 🙂 I always recommend that if you have the budget for a custom website design then go for it! Custom website designs typically range anywhere from $3,000 to $20,000 depending on the designers experience and what you are looking to have added. So if you don’t have the budget for it right now that’s OK you can still have a gorgeous and effective website without a big price tag.

Here’s how you can create your website:

1. If you are an e-commerce business and plan on only selling physical products then you can download a Shopify template and make basic customizations yourself. There are a lot of gorgeous Shopify templates out there and they are very affordable.
   
2. If you are a creative entrepreneur selling services than you can purchase a Showit template. Showit is easy to use because of its drag-and-drop editor; you can also make edits to your own website without having to know any css or coding.
   
3. Lastly, when starting out you don’t need an entire website with multiple pages. Start off basic! Build a landing page for your business. You can put together a landing page on Showit with all your information and portfolio pieces. Here is what’s most important to include on the landing page: header stating what you do and who you serve, your services, about section, testimonials, strong portfolio pieces, and a contact form. You can view one of our landing page templates that is great for creative business owners here.
