5 Reasons Cheap Web Design Is Bad for Your Brand

5 Reasons Cheap Web Design Is Bad for Your Brand

Why Cheap Web Design Is Bad for your business

When it comes to building your online presence, your website is one of the most important investments you’ll make for your business.

It’s your digital storefront and the first impression potential customers have of your brand.

While you may be tempted to hire a cheap web designer to save some money, here are a few reasons why this can be a bad idea:

Lack of Quality

Cheap web designers often cut corners and use pre-made templates, resulting in a low-quality website that looks unprofessional and can damage your brand’s image.

A poorly designed website can also be difficult to navigate, leading to a frustrating user experience.

Limited Customization

Cheap web designers may not have the skills or expertise to build a website that meets your specific needs.

As a result, you may end up with a website that lacks the necessary functionality to effectively engage your audience, such as a responsive design, mobile optimization, or e-commerce features.

Lost Time and Money

While it may seem like you’re saving money by hiring a cheap web designer, it can end up costing you more in the long run.

A poorly designed website may require expensive fixes down the road, or you may need to hire a more experienced web designer to redo the work entirely.

Damaged Brand Reputation

Your website is often the first point of contact for potential customers.

If your website looks unprofessional or outdated, it can negatively impact your brand reputation and drive away potential customers.

Lack of Support

When you work with a cheap web designer, you may not receive the support and maintenance your website requires.

This can leave you stranded if your website experiences technical issues or requires updates.

In summary, choosing a cheap web designer may seem like a cost-effective solution, but it could end up costing you more in the long run.

A professional web designer can help you create a quality, custom-designed website that reflects your brand meets your business needs and provides ongoing support and maintenance.

Don’t compromise on the quality of your website – invest in a professional web design team today.

Why DMARC Is Important For Your Business

Why DMARC Is Important For Your Business

What is DMARC and why it’s important for your business

If you have an online presence, complete with a professional, and I mean not a Gmail/Yahoo email address, then THIS is something you need to listen to closely..

As most of us know, although the major players in business and finance are afraid to say, we’re in a recession, and recessions lead to higher-than-normal cyber crimes.

One such cybercrime is Phishing.

For those unaware of what that is, It’s basically online scammers developing and using a seemingly legit website to “lure” unsuspecting people to provide their personal or financial information. 

Now what’s more interesting is that now scammers are leveraging legit business owners domain names to create fake email accounts to send spam or worse to the same potential victims. Usually the business owner(s) are completely unaware of this happening until they get: 

  • Increase in complaint calls
  • Cease and desist letters
  • Or worse, a potential Lawsuit against them

One surefire way to prevent such an attack is to have a DMARC record installed at your host server level (Your hosting company) 

What is DMARC and what does it do?

DMARC, short for:

  • Domain-based
  • Message
  • Authentication
  • Reporting &
  • Conformance

It ensures your incoming and outgoing emails are sent from ONLY your official domain and authorized by you!

How DMARC Works

A DMARC policy allows a sender, in this case, your email server, to indicate that their messages are protected highly protected and pre-authenticated, and tells a receiver, the recipient’s email client, what to do if neither of those authentication methods passes – such as junk or reject the message. 

DMARC removes the guesswork from the receiver’s handling of these failed messages, limiting or eliminating the user’s exposure to potentially fraudulent & harmful messages. 

It also provides a way for the email receiver to report back to the sender about messages that pass and/or fail DMARC evaluation.

DMARC is simply an added layer of protection for your business against cybercriminals looking to profit off of your business or brand

If you are unsure if you have DMARC for your domain and emails, it’s important to get that checked out as soon as possible, preferably by RDG
