Sure, you can build your own website.  As with all things your success will depend on many factors.

  • Know who your customers are.
  • Create engaging content that motivates your visitors to act.
  • Select a web hosting site (if necessary) that can support your tools, content and traffic.
  • Use appropriate tools to present and manage your content.
  • Learn to manage your site content.
  • Learn to market your website.
  • Learn to monitor your website traffic and measure your website's effectiveness.

If you think you have the time and skills to create and manage a website on your own then there are certainly many ways and opportunities for you to do exactly that.  In many cases you can start small and based on successful conversions consider hiring professionals to redesign, maintain, market and manage your website in the future when you are wildly successful.

If you do not have the technical skills or the patience to learn them to design, update and manage your website then you'll be better off finding someone to do some or all of that.  Be sure you are hiring a person with the set of skills you need.  Some people are primarily designers, some are marketers, some are analysts, some offer multiple skills.  Choose carefully.  Make sure the person you want to hire is willing to learn about your business, your customers, your needs.
