(http://www.businessandblogging.com/) So, you’ve decided to bite the bullet and start a business blog.
Congratulations!
One thing that you may have been wondering is whether or not you should hire a professional blog designer or use one of the many blog templates that are available online.
There are excellent reasons for doing either.
On the one hand, hiring a professional blog designer can give you certain advantages:
A unique look for your business blog that no other blog has A more polished business blog The opportunity to ask the blog designer questions and get professional advice
However, hiring a blog designer could be costly. The cost can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, depending on the experience of the designer.
Using an existing blog template for your business blog also has advantages:
It can save money. There are a wide variety of professional-looking blog templates available for a low cost. Some are even free. You can change your blog design frequently without incurring new costs.
However, existing blog templates are available to anyone who is willing to pay (or in some cases just download) them. There is a risk that another business will end up with a blog design very similar to yours.
What do you think? Hire a professional blog designer or use a template?
If you already have a business blog, which route did you go?

你应该专业地设计你的商业博客吗?
(http://www.businessandblogging.com/) 那么，你已经做好面对巨大困难的准备，决定创办一个商业博客。
祝贺你！
你一直都在想的一件事就是你应该请一名专业的博客设计者还是使用网上那么多的博客模板中的一个。
无论是哪一个，你都有充足的理由。
一方面，聘请专业的博客设计者，你会拥有一些优势：
你的商业博客将会拥有独特的视角，而其它的却没有。你的商业博客比别人的更加精致无暇。你可以随时问博客设计者问题，并得到专业的意见和建议。
然而，聘请博客设计者，花销会很大。费用可能是几百美元，也可能上升至几千美元。这全依据设计者的经验而定。
同时，把已存在的博客模板应用到你的商业博客也是有好处的：
它为你节省费用。网上有大量看起来都比较专业的价廉实用的博客模板，有一些甚至是免费的。你可以不花钱，就可经常更改你的博客设计。
然而，每个人只要愿意花钱购买（或者在一些情况下只需要下载）它们，他/她都可以采用那些模板。不过，你得冒险——其他的商业博客也许用了跟你的博客相似的模板。
你是怎么想的呢？聘请专业的博客设计者还是采用模板？
如果你已经拥有一个商业博客，你会走什么样的路线呢？
