Re-branding - what's worth spending money on. Website questions too!

I'd welcome your opinions. I'm considering re-branding my business. It's a type of counselling / coaching so clients don't expect all singing all dancing websites but it has to look good. I've worked in this for 12 years but want a fresh angle aimed at a certain group of clients.

I've got a great contact who does PR, re-branding and so on. They are quite pricey but may use them to chuck ideas around.

I also want a new website. At the moment I've got one I made through Weebly which does the job- it's better than a lot in my field of work.

I want CMS for my website as I often like to tweek it and add courses etc. But most web designers are asking for quite a bit of ££ to do a CMS site, saying they use Wordpress built in to give me CMS .

I could easily spend £500 on the re-branding and £750 or more on a website but wonder if it's better to tweak my own website (where I've paid for hosting and domain etc for a year or so more...) or spend money on a new one. Or both. I find it so hard to find website designers who can do the IT but don't know how to 'get the look ' ie are creative.

Any thoughts? And average costs for a website with about 6 pages, really simple but with CMS.

Hello @NorasNotBatty I am a Graphic Designer. If it were me I would prioritise on getting professional rebranding in the first instance.

It's no good having an all singing and all dancing website if your brand doesn't live up to it!

In regards to the website, have you looked at Squarespace? They have lots of very professional templates and packages at very reasonable prices. Although I am not a web designer myself I have found it to be user friendly with a very professional appearance and have other friends that have used it too.

Hope that helps in some way! Good luck 😊
