Tip of the Week #3

Make sure they can do custom html

Unfortunately, many “web developers” advertise themselves as a “custom website developer” when they’re not.  There are tons of pre-built website templates that you can get for free online, and sadly, many companies get these free website templates and just upload your text and images (something that every computer novice is more than capable of doing); then they charge you hundreds, or even thousands of dollars to do something that only took them about an hour.  Make sure to ask if the web developer is capable of doing custom HTML coding, and not just templates.  Unlike free template websites, a custom HTML website assures you of a unique, professional design with Search Engine Friendly capabilities.
