- Poor SEO. Without an expert to insure your site is truly SEO optimized, generating traffic to your website will be difficult. Simply because users will be unable to find it.
- Tough to troubleshoot. What do you do if an image refuses to load correctly? Or if your beautiful site looks like a mess the moment you open it on a mobile device?

- Web design is hard. Maybe start DIY project planning to whip out a couple pages and have a website running in a couple hours?
