Tackling rising costs with your business website

The beginning of a new calendar year should be an exciting time for small-medium sized businesses. It provides the opportunity to start anew, and identify new aims and objectives to pursue for the year ahead.

However, among all business owners there is a slight sense of worry as we embark on 2023. A huge concern for all lies in how to tackle the rising costs that the UK is facing.

With the nation experiencing its highest inflation rate in a decade, managing costs is going to be a huge priority for small-medium sized businesses around the UK. Doubling down on your expenses and trying to reduce ongoing costs will be a big focus for many.

Reviewing the investment that your business is putting into your website is a great place to start!

With many small-medium sized businesses opting for agency built technologies, whilst they may seem like the ideal initial investment at the time, they can contribute to needless ongoing costs.

In this infographic, our team looks to highlight the benefits of utilising an open-source technology like WordPress, and the benefits it can provide from a financial perspective.

Ultimately, the decision on whether to use a proprietary or open-source CMS such as WordPress for your business website, should be carefully considered.

Our advice would always be to use open-source.

Not only is it the more cost effective option for your business website, but it also offers you the flexibility and scalability that a business needs in the current economic climate.

A business website that can be easily maintained, updated and optimised to target its audience without restriction is the key and regardless of your choice, should be aligned to your business’ needs.
