Stop paying monthly fees for a website you rarely touch.
Most small businesses only need to update their website a few times a year, yet DIY platforms and traditional agencies charge recurring fees every month just to keep your account open. Here is how ongoing costs compare over 3 years:
Wix / Squarespace
- ✕ You handle all the design, copywriting, and troubleshooting yourself
- ✕ Bloated template code that slows down mobile load times
- ✕ Proprietary platform: cancel your account and your site disappears
- ✕ Clunky visual editors prone to breaking layouts on phones
WordPress + Retainers
- ✕ High upfront design costs typically starting at $3,000+
- ✕ Fragile WordPress plugins that constantly break and need patching
- ✕ Database security vulnerabilities and spam exploits
- ✕ Slow communication through agency account managers and middlemen
Custom-Coded Website
- ✓ 100% in your name with zero vendor lock-in or proprietary traps
- ✓ Designed and custom-coded by an experienced software engineer
- ✓ Sub-second load times with no database vulnerabilities
- ✓ Hands-off updates: just send an email (most routine edits take under an hour of work at $75)
Don't take my word for it.
Steve made the whole process incredibly easy. I told him what I needed, he asked the right questions, and a couple weeks later I had a website that actually looks like my business. No headaches, no back-and-forth confusion.
I was paying a monthly fee for a template site that barely represented my business. Steve built me something way better for a flat price and I actually own it now. Wish I'd done this sooner.
What sold me was working directly with one person who actually understood the tech side. No project manager middleman, no miscommunication. Steve got what I was going for right away.
From conversation to launch.
