Straight comparisons, including when not to hire us

Wix genuinely wins for some businesses. So does a US agency, a freelancer, WordPress and native development. Every page here says which, because a comparison where we win every row isn't worth reading.

  • Where each option actually wins
  • Three-year cost, not month one
  • When the other choice is correct
  • Migration paths that keep your rankings

FAQ

Questions about choosing

Why would you publish comparisons that recommend against you?+
Because a comparison page written by a vendor is assumed to be biased, and usually is. If our option won every row on every page, nobody would believe any of it. Every one of these has a section on when the other choice is genuinely correct — and if you're in that situation, we'd rather you took it than hired us and were disappointed.
How do I choose between all of these?+
Start with what you're actually deciding. If it's 'do I need to hire anyone at all', read builders vs custom. If it's 'who do I hire', read offshore vs US agency and freelancer vs agency. If you've already decided to build something and it's a technical question, read WordPress vs Next.js or React Native vs native.
Are the cost figures in these comparisons real?+
They're observed market bands — what businesses tell us they were quoted, and what agencies publish on their own pricing pages — rather than statistics from a named study. Every page says so. Our own numbers are our published fixed prices, which don't move once agreed in writing.
What if I've already built on the option you argue against?+
Then don't rebuild reflexively. A fast, well-maintained WordPress site or a working Wix page that brings you customers is not a problem to be solved. Send it over and we'll audit it free and tell you honestly whether it's worth changing — sometimes a $129 audit and a speed cleanup does more than a rebuild, and we'll say so.
Can you help me migrate if I do switch?+
Yes, and the redirect map is the part that matters. We crawl the existing site, preserve the URL structure where it's sensible, and 301 map everything that changes one to one. Done properly a migration is invisible in analytics; done carelessly it costs a third of your organic traffic on launch day.
