Which posts are tagged custom websites?
Websites How Long Does a Custom Website Take to Build
Custom websites run on discovery, content, integrations, and QA—not design hours. Use planning bands: a week for direction, 1–10 weeks for a scoped build.
Websites Custom website vs website builder: how do I choose
Choose custom vs a builder on blast radius, ownership, unique motion/CMS, AEO, and integrations. A builder is fine for simple local until those five flip.
Websites Why does a website cost $15,000 when Wix/Squarespace is $20/month
$15,000 is a planning example for strategy, design, IA, CMS, AEO, and ownership — not a $20/month Wix or Squarespace hosting seat. Compare jobs, not stickers.
Websites Shopify vs custom store for artist merch
Shopify wins catalog, checkout, tax, and shipping. Custom wins when merch is the brand film. Most artists should run a Shopify cart on a custom artist site.
Websites Leave Squarespace Without Torching the Rankings You Already Paid For
Leave Squarespace without torching SEO: inventory every URL, ship a 1:1 301 map, keep launch-week signals stable, and monitor Search Console for 30–60 days.
Websites A Custom Site Is Worth It When the Template Cap Is Costing You Deals
Custom is worth it when templates cap conversion, differentiation, or ownership — not because custom is fashionable. Here’s the stage-based threshold test.
Websites Custom Sites Cost Five Figures Because You’re Buying a System, Not a Template Login
Five figures funds strategy, design, build, and a clean exit — not a $20 builder login. Compare three-year cost of ownership, not the month-one sticker.
