You could get your brother / sister/ cousin / person advertising on a lamp pole to develop a website, so why choose Tech Warrior? Many people like to choose the easy or cheap route when designing a website, or for anything really. But with this comes with problems that could be avoided if you invest your time and money in something you really need which would serve you in good stead in the future.

Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.
—John Ruskin

Cheap and easy = cheap and ugly?

If someone you know is very good at what they do and they are willing to give you a low price then by all means, go with them, as supporting those closest to you is never a bad thing. However, in most circumstances, the cheapest and easiest route can lead to ugly, cheap looking websites. Everyone knows the old saying, you get what you pay for. This is because it's true, in most cases if you pay for a cheap website, you will get a cheap website.

If you went car shopping today, and your budget is R50000, I'm pretty certain you’re not going to be grabbing yourself a brand new BMW 3 series. You’re most likely going to be able to get a 1995 Toyota Taz. This applies to websites too.

Quality at competitive prices while building relationships

If you are planning on investing in a website, we recommend you choose someone who you can trust to provide you with quality websites at very affordable prices. At Tech Warrior, we strive to provide quality websites that are great value-for-money. This might not be your cheapest option, but are very competitive with regards to the quality that Tech Warrior provides.

Not only do we develop quality websites, but we also pride ourselves in our ability to build trust and a solid relationship with our clients during, and after, the web development process. We believe maintaining a good, trusting relationship with our clients is the most important aspect in this industry.

Purchasing domain names carefully is a very important aspect of owning a website. Having a website is an important part of running a business. Make sure you are the rightful registered owner of your domain name.

Experience counts when it comes to building a website

One of the ways we keep prices down is based on our experience. 25 years in the industry teaches you a few things about how to deliver the best in the most efficient way possible. Another way is through the use of our custom developed theme. It’s not bespoke, but fear not! As we are still able to blow you away with our quality designs.

We also believe our clients should write their content themselves as they know their business better than anyone else. However, if writing scares you or you believe you’re going to mess it up, we will help guide you through the content writing process.

Ask as many questions as you need

At Tech Warrior we will provide you with the same trustworthy relationship you get out of your friends and family, while providing the best website for your business, at very affordable prices. We aim to build strong, long lasting relationships with our clients and we encourage you to ask us as many questions as you need about the website building process, so that you feel comfortable choosing us as your web developers.

Who are Tech Warrior’s competitors?

There are many choices to be made when building a website. These decisions can be broadly split between who will build the site and what platform or software will be used for the development of the website. In this article we’ll take a more detailed look at both of these competitor categories for Tech Warrior.

Who will build the website

There are three groups of people who compete with Tech Warrior when comes to building a website:

Family and friends
Professional web design companies
Do-it-yourself-ers

Family and friends

A knowledgeable family member can be a useful resource for building a website. The upside is you know who you are dealing with, what kind of work they are capable of and you might be able to negotiate on the cost of the work.

The down side to this approach can sometimes be all of the above as well. Are they building the site as a favour or is it a bona-fide job? Is it a priority for them or are they fitting you in because they know a little (or a lot) more than you? How much experience do they have?

Professional web design companies

This is a good option if you want to hand-over the process and have it managed on your behalf. These companies can be one-person or many-people in size. They usually support you from the beginning of the process until you have a live, hosted website.

Unfortunately there is no professional body to regulate the standard and quality of web site design and development companies so you will need to do some research to ensure that the company or organization is credible and trustworthy. Over the years we have heard some horror stories of domain names and websites being held ransom by unsavoury web design companies who portray the right image but don’t deliver.

Do-it-yourself-ers

You can build the website yourself. There are many options available when it comes to the software or platform (see below). There is only one question that needs to be answered: “is building the website myself the best use of my time?” If your business needs you at the helm, running the show then using one of the other options is probably better.

What is the best software or platform for my website?

There are various Website building platforms or software that also compete with Tech Warrior when it comes to building a website. These can be installed and run on your computer, can be hosted and managed on your behalf or a combination of the two.

You will want to make sure that the software tools are widely used and open so you can get support when needed. This also ensures you don’t get locked into an expensive once-off proprietary system with limited options for growth or an exit strategy if you and the developer want to part ways.

The most widely used website software is called WordPress. More than 35 percent of all websites use it. This is the software of choice for Tech Warrior. WordPress is usually installed at a hosting provider.

There are other software options for building a website. The more well known ones are Joomla or Drupal. They work and function in a similar way to WordPress but are not as widely used.

Website software that is hosted and managed on your behalf

Another type of competitor that Tech Warrior has is website building software. These go by the name GoDaddy, Squarespace, Shopify, Wix, Weebly and others. They provide the tools to build a website. They also provide the associated services required to get a website up and running like domain registration and hosting. In some instances an online shop or store as well. Tech Warrior has chosen to use WordPress which also provides an option like this.

Make the right choice for your business needs

We have no control over whether you choose a competitor of ours. We do want you to make the right choice for your business. Your website is still the most effective way to answer questions, build trust and get customers to engage and buy from you. Make sure the person or organisation doing it prioritises your needs and offers a good value-for-money product and service. In addition, make sure your website is built using a platform that is open, widely used and doesn’t keep you locked in to the whims of the web developer.
