In today’s world, established an online presence is key to success. Websites are a great resource for current and potential clients to keep updated with information on the company, such as an address, hours, or services. For someone without a technical background, it can seem like a daunting task to have to create a website from scratch. Although it is an option, it is not always necessary to spend hundreds of pounds on a professional website developer.

Using one of these websites is usually cost effective as cheapest packages can be around 4 pounds. Depending on the complexity of the website this price can vary. If you use one of these providers, you also will not have to worry about finding a separate hosting service, as this is often included.

It is also important that the domain name be short and sweet so that it is memorable and user friendly.
