There are so many website builders out there that create low quality or no value websites, a lot of them can barely meet up a clients’ requirement for a business website.

When “slap stick” is used to build websites, web crawlers can easily spot the websites and more often than not move them automatically to the bottom of its search list. If you can answer the question that says “a house built in a week by kids and a house built in a month or more by building contractors, which of the 2 houses do you think would stand the test of time and serve the needs of occupants and visiting guests to the house?” You would know better who to hire between a professional and an amateur.
