So, you’ve decided to build your own website. Maybe you watched a few YouTube tutorials, found a “super easy” website builder, and thought, “How hard could it be?”
Fast forward three hours, and your homepage looks nothing like the template, buttons are floating in random places, and you’re questioning every life decision that led you here.
Welcome to DIY web design—the IKEA furniture of the internet.
1. It Looks Easy… Until You Start 🤦♂️
Just like IKEA’s step-by-step instructions make you think you can build a bookshelf in 20 minutes, website builders promise “drag and drop simplicity.” Lies.
💡 Reality Check: Suddenly, you’re buried in settings you don’t understand, fonts that won’t cooperate, and a header image that’s mysteriously 10x the size it should be.
2. The “Missing Piece” Mystery 🔍
You’ve followed every step, yet something still looks off. Maybe it’s the spacing. Maybe it’s the fonts. Maybe it’s the fact that your “About Us” page somehow disappeared into the void.
💡 Reality Check: Just like that crucial screw that IKEA definitely forgot to include, your website is missing something—probably custom design expertise.
3. The “Eh, Good Enough” Phase 😩
At some point, frustration takes over. Your navigation menu isn’t centered, but you decide it’s fine. Your contact form works… sometimes. Whatever. You just need the website to exist.
💡 Reality Check: A poorly designed site makes visitors bounce faster than you gave up on assembling that dresser.
4. Eventually, You Call for Backup 📞
After hours (or days) of struggle, you do what you should have done from the start—call in a pro. And just like that, your website is sleek, functional, and actually works.
💡 Reality Check: Web designers do this for a living—let us save you the stress (and your sanity).
