Homepage builders – The future of web design?

Everyone should now be familiar with the various homepage builders from advertising. They have been around for a few years and are becoming increasingly popular. Professional results at the best price, that’s their promise. So why go to Gutenberg AG when you can easily create a website yourself? We'll explain why.

Advantages of website builders

Such a website builder certainly offers a number of advantages. You don't need any programming knowledge, the prices are only 20 to 60 francs per month, security updates and backups are included and the website is also visually appealing on cell phones and tablets (responsive design).

Disadvantages

And why don't you need programming knowledge? Exactly, because everything is already specified. The templates are simply filled with images and text. Although you can choose from a variety of templates, at the end of the day they are still limited templates.

Which brings us to a major disadvantage: the freedom of design is limited. Most companies pursue a uniform appearance (corporate design). This means that the same colors and font are always used. It is possible to color the templates appropriately, but things get more difficult when it comes to the fonts. There are different fonts available, but is yours included?

Assuming your font is included and everything else works great. Will you really stand out from the crowd with a template that has been used by hundreds or even thousands before you?

You probably won't. Just like people, every company is different. Your company has a special personality of its own. The art of web design is to incorporate this personality into the design of the website. And that is exactly what is impossible with a website builder.

Many website builder providers can also have frustratingly long wait times for support, which can significantly delay the resolution of problems. In contrast, Gutenberg AG offers direct telephone support so that customers can speak to a competent person immediately.

Ihre Webseite – Mehr als nur eine Visitenkarte

If you just need a business card on the web or just want to write a blog, then a website builder will be enough for you. However, a website is primarily a sales tool. You also want to introduce yourself, give insights into your work, etc. Ultimately, you want to sell your product or service.

Of course, this works best if your page suits you and reflects your work and your character. This professionalism is noticeable to the visitor, which ultimately benefits you.
