Building websites

Ways to build and update websites:

Do it yourself with a HTML-editor

If you're going to build your website yourself, you will have to obtain all the basic knowledge of coding HTML as well as other skills (such as skills in graphical design). The threshold is high and the result is seldom professional.

	Cheap (unless you count the time spent)
	High threshold (difficult) - a lot to learn about web development
	You have to learn graphical programs and graphical design to create graphics for your professional website

Engage a one man consultant

You, like most entrepreneurs, probably have someone in your personal network who has knowledge about web development. Usually, that someone, can help build your website. Even if the initial website is ok there is almost always a "back seat" situation occuring when you need to update your website. It becomes difficult to keep the website up-to-date.

	Easy to get started
	You are in the "back seat" - depending on an external person to make changes to your website. It is time consuming to keep your website up-to-date.
	It can be expensive and it usually takes more time than expected
	Not always a professional result (there are many requirements on a professional website. It should work in all modern browsers and conform to search engines)

Subscribe or buy a template-based tool

There are a number of companies who offer template based tools. Almost all web hosting companies provide a service which you can subscribe to at a monthly fee. As a user you will be limited to the provided templates and it is often quite slow to work with web based applications.

	Easy to get started
	Restricted to the available templates. It is difficult (or impossible) to build your own graphical profile
	It is often very "sluggish" to work with web server based solutions
	Often a very limited flexibility and freedom for you as a user
