The pros of creating the webiste by yourself:

  1. If we are successful, we can create a website that lives up to our expectations /Yes, for some of us, it will take much more time, but it is possible/
  2. If the website we have created is functional, we can tailor it to our needs, make changes, etc. at any time
  3. Once the basic website, blog and our on-line shop are created, we can pay for extra help {extra IT services} when we need it and learn new things related to IT much faster at the same time
  4. We gain new skills that are valuable on the job marekt. On top of that, once we know how to deal with CPanel, etc, it will be much asier to deal with things like cyber security, artificial intelligence in the future 
  5. If something goes wrong, we can start over and create a new website from the scratch much faster than the first one.

The cons

  1.  less time for serving our future, potential clients
  2. necessity to reserve much time to learn everything from the scratch
  3. money to invest in different kind of courses to learn new skills
  4. We do need to accept that not all will go smoothly
  5. It is cruial to take into consideration the fact that the first 2 websites we have created can be far from perfect and that maybe the third one will work out

The pros of delegating this service to other company

  1. We can focus on our core business and create better products as well as services for our clients
  2. much more time to work with our customers 
  3. If we hire a good and professional company, our website will bring lots of  new clients 
  4. We will have more time to concentrate on SEO and the creation of valuable articles for our blog if we want to

The cons connected with delegating the creation of your own website to other company

  1. There is much higher risk regarding the leak of information /confidentiality/
  2. If we look for cheap service, it might occur that the qulaity might be low /not always but very often/
  3. The cost of fixing errors might be high once we realize that the person responsible the for creation of our website was not professional
  4. If there is breakdown in the economy and high inflation at the same time, the cost of hiring an IT Specialist will be much higher
