Website design is a complex process that requires an understanding of the latest trends, technologies, and best practices. Unfortunately, this means there are many misconceptions about website design that can lead to frustration for both clients and designers.  In this blog post, we will debunk some of the most common myths surrounding website design so that you have a better idea of what to expect when working with a web designer.  Let’s get started!


Myth #1: Web Design is Expensive
It’s true that website design can be expensive depending on your specific needs. However, it doesn’t have to be. A good designer will work within your budget to create a professional and functional site. You may need to make sacrifices in terms of features or customization options, but you don’t have to break the bank in order to get a good-looking website.

Myth #2: Your Website Should Be “Done” in Just a Few Days
Websites take time—lots of it—to build. Quality web design requires research, planning, coding, testing, optimization, and more. It’s not something that can be done overnight or even over the course of a few days. A good web designer will be able to provide you with an estimated timeline, so that you know what to expect from start to finish.

Myth #3: You Don’t Need To Worry About SEO
Search engine optimization (SEO) is an important part of any website design project. Without proper SEO implementation, your site won’t rank as high in search engine results pages (SERPs). This means fewer people will find your site organically and fewer people will buy your products or services if they don’t know where to find them in the first place. Work with your designer to ensure that SEO best practices are followed throughout the entire process for optimal rankings.  

As businesses are looking for qualified web designers, it’s important for you to understand both sides of the equation — yours and theirs — when it comes to website builds so that expectations are realistic from the start. We hope this blog post has debunked some common myths around website design so that you can enter into any projects with confidence knowing what is involved and what should (and shouldn’t!) be expected from both parties involved!
