6 Mistakes Smart People Make When Hiring a Web Designer in South Texas
(And How Ericks Webs Design Helps You Avoid Them)
This guide is for:
- Marketing professionals
- Business owners thinking about revamping their current site
- Website administrators responsible for maintaining the company’s website
At Ericks Webs Design, we’ve worked with clients across McAllen, the Rio Grande Valley, and South Texas—and we’ve seen it all.
Mistake #1: Paying Too Little
Choosing the cheapest option often leads to poor results. DIY tools like Squarespace or Wix may seem like a bargain, but they come with hidden costs: your time, lost opportunity, and ultimately, a lackluster return on investment.
As Warren Buffett says, “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”
Our sites are built to grow your brand, attract leads, and convert visitors into customers.
Mistake #2: Paying Too Much
Big agencies charge high premiums to cover their office spaces and large teams. With Ericks Webs Design, you work directly with experienced professionals, without the high-end markups.
Mistake #3: Hiring a “Designer” Instead of a Strategic Partner
Your site should look great, but that’s only part of the equation. We combine design + marketing strategy to generate leads and sales, not just compliments.
- Who’s visiting your site?
- What are they looking for?
- What action should they take?
Mistake #4: Not Getting a User-Friendly CMS
We build exclusively with WordPress and provide an easy-to-manage backend. No tech skills? No problem. Updating your site should be as simple as updating your Facebook profile.
Ask any designer to show you a demo of their backend—ours is clean and intuitive.
Mistake #5: Skipping Due Diligence
Read reviews. Check their portfolio. Test their work on mobile. And look for a signature at the bottom of their sites (ours says “Website by Ericks Webs Design”).
If you’re unsure, just ask us. We’ll gladly share real client references from across South Texas.
Mistake #6: They Don’t Practice What They Preach
We rank well on Google. We don’t rely on cold emails—we get our traffic the same way we’ll help you get yours: through smart SEO, content, and web strategy.
Don’t trust a web designer with an ugly site, or an SEO “expert” who isn’t ranking.
