Check out Top Myths About Web Development – Debunked.

In this article, we will be taking a look at some more myths that might clutter your mind and obstruct you from getting the best web development results.

Let’s get straight into it!

Myth – Website builders as good as website developers

Website Builders

The quick truth: Website builders can only help you build basic run-off-the-mill websites. 

Before we discuss the truth behind website builders, let’s see what website builders are. 

Website builders are online tools that allow constructing a website without manual coding. With website builders, you can simply select the elements that you like and place them on the pages to build a website. 

Now, it might sound quick and simple to build a website using these website builders, but you should know that it is not always the case. That’s because, in exchange for offering freedom from coding, website builders take away your customization control. You get to choose from a limited number of themes and plugins. And there is little that you can do to change the way your website looks and feels. In most cases, your website will look like the many other websites using the same theme as yours. 

Website developers, on the other hand, give you the liberty to get a truly custom solution. You can choose the technology stack and the look and feel of your website too.

Myth – Website development is expensive

Myth – SEO begins after your website is built

The quick truth: You need to integrate SEO into your website development process.

Most people believe that you need to optimize a website for search engines only after the website has been launched. But that’s not the case. You need your website to be built in an SEO-friendly fashion to ensure actual success. Integrating your website with Google Analytics and Search Console, having SEO-friendly URLs which include keywords, and robots.txt site map, schema markup, keyword-optimized content, and XML files are just some of the things that you should take care of before launching your website. 

Thus, while getting a website developed, you need to integrate SEO into the development process. If not, you might have to pay for a lot of rework later and your website might take a longer time to show up and rank in search results. 

At SynergyTop, our SEO team works closely with the development crew to ensure that your website has all technical SEO components in place before launch.

Myth – Design is the most important element for your website

Website Design and Content

The quick truth: The content on your website matters too.

It is a well-known fact that most people form the first impression about your website based on its design. And given an option, people would pick nicely designed content over plain presentations.

However, you cannot completely substitute the need for informative and engaging content with design elements. That’s because even if your website looks great, your website visitors won’t convert into customers without good content that makes you and your business look worthy.

It is also important to keep the content on your website updated. An active blog section can further help you build a reader base and get higher conversions.
