How Websitero compares with others, point for point
Builders rent you a site you can never take with you. Agencies want a deposit and a quarter. Every claim on these pages is something the other side publishes or that you can check in an afternoon — and each one starts by naming the case where they are still the right call, so you can see how narrow it is.

Websitero vs Wix
Wix is fast to start and impossible to leave with your site. Compare it with a hand-coded Websitero site: one payment, no subscription, standard code you can take anywhere.

WordPress hands a local business a system to administer: updates, plugins, security, backups. Compare it with a hand-coded Websitero site: nothing to update, nothing to hack, live in hours.

Agencies charge thousands and take a deposit you can't get back, then take weeks. Compare that with a hand-coded Websitero site: a fixed fee, live in hours, and 7 days to get your money back.
Read the comparisonWhy not just use a website builder?
Template platforms and drag-and-drop page builders feel easy at first, then the limits and the costs pile up.
Here's how Websitero compares, point for point:
The usual website builders
- Not custom
- No-code
- Page builder
Not Custom
You get the same template thousands of other businesses already use — new colours don't make it yours.
Drag-and-drop Bloat
No-code editors generate heavy, messy code that drags down mobile speed, Core Web Vitals, and SEO.
You Do the Building
You still have to design it, write it, and keep it up to date — the builder just hands you the blocks.
Locked to the Platform
Your site only runs inside their editor. You can't export it, and leaving means starting over.
Costs That Climb
A monthly subscription, plus add-ons and plugins for the features you assumed were included.
Websitero
- Custom-coded
- Built for you
- Yours to keep
Custom, Not Templated
A site designed around your business, not picked off a shelf everyone else shops from.
Clean, Fast Code
Hand-built, lightweight pages — strong Core Web Vitals, fast on mobile, better SEO rankings.
We Do the Building
You send us what your business does. We handle the design, the copy, and the launch.
You Own It
Standard code on hosting you control — migrate it, redesign it, or take it with you anytime.
One Simple Price
A single subscription or one-time fee — no surprise add-ons or hidden charges, ever.
