Should You Do It Yourself?

Can I…

When we make your website live, we provide you with full access. We do this because after paying for your website we don’t think it fair for you to be tied into a particular platform or service provider. It’s a singular way of thinking – many web designers make their money by insisting on a monthly support contract – and then charge extra for change requests as and when required.

Owners Websites give you the peace of mind that if we get hit by the proverbial bus, you should be able to work with any web designer of your choice to keep your website updated. 

Should I…

If you choose to update your website yourself, then please be aware that you will be responsible for the impact of any changes that adversely affect the performance of your website.

Our recommendations as to what we think you should be changing are outlined below.

We’ve also shared five regularly seen common issues following ‘website DIY’

Changes to the back-end of your website (pricing changes, writing blogs) do not require website design experience and changes can be made relatively safely.

We recommend that changes made to the customer facing layouts / pages of your website are undertaken by a person experienced with website design. We explain why below…

Objective – Replacing An Image On A Website

This sounds easy enough for anyone to do and in fact it is a very quick and easy task to swap one image with another. We’d go as far to say that anyone can do this…badly.

Swapping images is one of the most frequent edits that our customers undertake on their websites.  And these are some of the issues we regularly see after clients have tried their hands at website DIY.

  1. Non-optimised Images. Photos / Images should be sized and compressed with loss-less optimisation techniques to avoid slowing your website down and adversely affect search performance 
  2. Pixelated Images on Large Screens. Your new image may look great on your monitor but always check how it appears on a wide high resolution screen to make sure the image is of sufficient quality.
  3. Images should be tagged with a description so that the search engines can identify them for what they represent. Failure to do this could impact your website’s search performance.
  4. If the image’s aspect ratio changes on mobile, for example from landscape to portrait, the focus area of the image may need to be changed.
  5. Most important of all; don’t infringe copyright by using someone else’s photo without permission!
