Why Everyone Thinks They’re a Professional Designer (But Most Aren’t)
These days, you don’t need a degree, experience, or even talent to call yourself a professional designer.
Why? Because AI tools, Canva templates, and drag-and-drop websites make it easy for anyone to create something that looks okay at first glance.
The problem? Looks aren’t everything.
A good design isn’t just about looking pretty—it’s about functionality, strategy, and long-term impact.
That’s where the difference between DIY designers and real professionals becomes painfully clear.
The Problem with a DIY “professional designer”
1. They Use the Same Templates as Everyone Else
Ever seen two businesses with the exact same logo style, fonts, and color scheme? That’s what happens when you rely on free templates instead of real design work.
Your brand isn’t unique if it looks like everyone else’s.
A professional designer creates something custom—not just a template with your name slapped on it.
2. They Don’t Understand Branding Strategy
Design isn’t just about making things look nice—it’s about:
- Attracting the right audience
- Creating a consistent, memorable brand
- Building trust and credibility
A template designer won’t ask about your business goals, your market, or what makes your brand unique—they’ll just change the colors and call it a day.
Real designers think beyond the visuals—they design with purpose.
3. DIY Websites Are Often Slow & Unoptimized
Many so-called “web designers” just drag and drop elements onto a Wix or Squarespace template.
Sounds easy, right? Sure—until the site is slow, unresponsive, and doesn’t rank on Google.
❌ Heavy templates slow your site down (which hurts SEO).
❌ No proper mobile optimization = users leave quickly.
❌ Poorly structured pages mean visitors can’t find what they need.
A real website designer builds for speed, functionality, and long-term growth.

Final Thoughts: DIY is Fine—Until You Need Results

But if you want:
- A real brand identity
- A high-performing website
- A design that actually grows your business
Then you need real experts and a proper professional designer, not just someone who knows how to change colors on a template.
