At EggCup Web Design we aim to build websites to suit most budgets. We build the majority of our sites using WordPress, which is already a cost-effective content management platform in itself. But if you run a small business or startup and have a limited budget, one of the key considerations when it comes to price is whether to use a ready-made off-the-shelf theme or opt for a custom-built solution instead.
It seems like an attractive offer, but as a business owner should you use an off-the-shelf WordPress theme for your company website? Or would you be better off investing in a bespoke theme instead?
As a small business owner myself I understand the pressures small businesses are under and I know how hard it can be to find a suitable budget for your company’s website. A well-intentioned friend might generously offer to build you a website for free, but are you sure you’ll actually get good value?
Choosing a domain name for your business is difficult these days. Choosing a brand name is difficult enough. But it can be even harder to pick up a domain that encapsulates your brand, is memorable and easy to type, and most importantly — still available! But what hurdles will you need to clear in order to find the right domain name for your startup?
