The Hidden Problem With DIY Website Builders

Wix gives you freedom — not direction.

That freedom sounds great until you realize what’s actually required to make a site look professional:

• Visual hierarchy

• Consistent spacing

• Typography decisions

• Image sizing and cropping

• Mobile layout behavior

• Clear conversion paths

Wix gives you infinite options.

It does not tell you which ones are right.

What Usually Happens

Most business owners:

1. Start with a blank canvas

2. Add sections and widgets

3. Adjust spacing and fonts endlessly

4. Fix mobile separately

5. Get stuck polishing instead of launching

The site is customizable — but never quite finished.

The Line That Matters

Wix gives you control.

Knowing what to do with that control is the hard part.

That’s where most DIY sites break down.

Same Content.Different Outcome.

Same business. Same information.

Add Only What You NeedSkip the Rest

Wix bundles features into a single platform.

RigidhamLabs works differently.

We build a fast, clean website first — then add features only if they actually support your business goals.

Common Add-Ons

• Booking systems (Square, Calendly, Acuity)

• Payments (Stripe, Square, PayPal)

• Contact forms & email delivery

• Analytics & conversion tracking

• Landing pages and SEO upgrades

Your website grows with your business — without rebuilding or starting over.

Cost Reality Check

Wix

• $16–$59 per month

• $192–$708 per year

• Paid forever

RigidhamLabs

• Starting at $299

• One-time professional build

• Optional hosting and maintenance

After about 18 months, most businesses have paid more to Wix than a professionally built site.

A Fair Note

Wix is a good option if you:

• Enjoy designing and tweaking

• Want full visual control

• Are comfortable managing everything yourself

RigidhamLabs is for business owners who:

• Want it done fast

• Want it to look right

• Want performance and clarity

• Don’t want to design a website

Both are valid.

Only one removes the workload.
