How we compare to Squarespace, Wix and WordPress

The big builders give you a blank template and a support line. We give you a finished site and an editor that’s hard to get wrong, for a lot less.

Is it right for you?

Site Studio is a good fit if you…

  • run a local business and want a site that looks professional
  • mostly change words, photos, hours and specials
  • would rather pay for the occasional change than for a support plan you rarely use

Another builder may suit you better if you…

  • want to design every page yourself, pixel by pixel
  • need a large online store with inventory today
  • want a phone number to call whenever you need help
