The Real Challenges of DIY Websites for Travel Advisors

Writer's picture: Ms. FloMs. Flo



You've likely considered or even tried to create your website. After all, in today's digital age, having a solid online presence is non-negotiable. But if you're like many others in our industry, you've probably realized that DIY website platforms, while seemingly convenient, come with their challenges.


Let me share why many travel advisors struggle with these platforms and how working with professionals like us at Nik and Kel Designs can make a difference.


1. Time-Consuming Process: Designing a website is not just about putting text and images together on a page. It requires thoughtful planning, design sense, and technical skills. As travel advisors, your expertise lies in curating unforgettable journeys, not necessarily in mastering the nuances of web development. The hours you might spend trying to figure out web design could be better spent on enhancing your client services or expanding your business.


2. Lack of Customization: Most DIY website builders offer templates to make the process easier. However, these templates can be pretty restrictive. They might not allow you to fully express the unique aspects of your travel services or incorporate specific features that could enhance your user experience. Every travel agency has its own brand and needs; a one-size-fits-all template doesn't do justice to your unique offerings.


3. SEO and Visibility Challenges: A beautiful website is great but needs to be seen! SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is critical for making your website visible to potential clients. Many DIY platforms provide essential SEO tools, which might not be robust enough to compete in the highly competitive travel market. Without professional help, your site may languish on the later pages of search results, unseen by your potential clients.


4. Technical Issues and Security: Handling technical issues and ensuring your website is secure can be daunting. Regular updates, backups, security checks, and troubleshooting are part and parcel of maintaining an effective website. These tasks require ongoing attention that a professional service can easily handle, allowing you to focus on your core business.
