should i use wix or hire someone to build my website

both work. the choice depends on what your time is worth.

what wix costs

wix charges between £9 and £25 per month depending on plan. that is £108 to £300 per year, every year, for as long as the site exists.

you build it yourself. you write the content. you configure the domain. you maintain it.

what hiring someone costs

varies. most uk web designers charge £500 to £3,000 for a basic site, then ongoing hosting and maintenance fees separately.

computer web charges £179 for a built, hosted, content-written website. year 2 hosting: £100 per year.

the actual difference

wix: lower year-one cost if you do the work yourself. ongoing monthly fees. your time spent building and maintaining.

hiring someone: higher year-one cost. lower ongoing cost if hosting is included. your time spent on your business instead.

what most trades businesses get wrong

they build a wix site because it seems cheaper. they spend a weekend on it. the result looks like a wix site. they leave it alone because updating it is tedious. two years later it still says "coming soon" on the services page.

a website that exists and works is worth more than a website you are still building.

what computer web charges

£179. built for you. content written. hosting included for year one. domain sorted. ssl active. email configured. most sites exist within 7 days.
