A free, DIY website might feel like a smart way to save money when you’re just starting out. After all, it’s quick, it’s simple, and it gets you online.

But here’s the problem: while a DIY site may save you dollars today, it could be costing you clients tomorrow.

In business, your website is often the very first impression people have of you—and first impressions matter.

At first glance, a DIY site looks like a budget-friendly choice. But over time, it can actually hurt your business. Here’s how:

✨ Credibility at Stake
A generic, cookie-cutter design can make your business look less professional than you really are. A polished, custom design shows you’re credible, trustworthy, and serious about what you do.

✨ SEO Neglect
Most DIY sites aren’t optimized for search engines. That means your business could be buried on page 10 of Google while your competitors show up on page 1. Without SEO, clients can’t even find you.

✨ Poor User Experience
Confusing layouts, slow loading times, or cluttered navigation frustrate visitors. Instead of sticking around, they’ll leave—and you’ll lose potential customers before you even know they visited.

A professionally built site isn’t just about looks—it’s about results. At Liset Alanis Designs, I build websites that:

• Showcase your business with a credible, modern design
• Are SEO-optimized so your clients can actually find you
• Use clear layouts and calls-to-action to turn visitors into paying customers
• Load fast and look great on any device

Your website should work as hard as you do—building trust, generating leads, and growing your business 24/7.
