Good question! If you have heard that anyone can do a website, you are right, just like anyone can play the piano! However you may not care for the music!

If you are doing a website for personal use, by all means go for it! If it is for business application be aware of a number of things:

• Your business will be judged based on the appearance quality and completeness of your website.
• You may be better off spending your time on things you are good at (like your business for example)!
  
• There is much to know about how to promote a website that the average user does not know. This goes well beyond just creating a basic website.
  
• Consider having a professional build your website but allow some parts of it to be self managed, so you can keep it fresh without having to call your web designer every time you need to make a change.
• A good website can extend the reach of your business by attracting customers you would not otherwise have attracted. Consider it an extension of your business marketing and advertising programs
