DO IT YOURSELF
PROS:
If you don’t have much money then building it alone is cheaper than hiring a Shopify expert.
Shopify has some clean themes and templates that will be decent enough to start with if you’re a very small business.
You can make changes or updates to your Shopify site after it launches by yourself.
CONS:
If you don’t have web development experience your website might look amateurish and negatively impact how your brand is perceived.
Building a website can be a set of huge tasks and can sometimes feel overwhelming, so it’s common for people to procrastinate for months.
If the aversion to building your Shopify site is big enough, you may never finish it.
HIRE A SHOPIFY EXPERT
PROS:
No need to spend time on learning technology required to build and operate a Shopify website.
The final product will be a modern, professional website that accurately represents your company and your brand and one you’re proud of.
The good experience for visitors will be replicated on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
They can recommend ideas and help you avoid mistakes you probably wouldn’t have thought of alone.
CONS:
This will require an investment of at least £1000 and can go above £12500.
But is your business not worth that investment to you?
