Why Cheap Website Builders Can Cost You More in the Long Run

Think you’re saving money with a $10/month website builder?
You’re not.

Many small businesses fall into the trap of cheap website builders — but end up with broken features, poor SEO, and no real results. Here's why it's not worth it.

Broken booking forms, slow pages, zero visibility on Google — that’s what cheap gets you.
If you want real clients, you need a real setup.

Think you’re saving money with those cheap DIY website builders? Think again. Broken booking systems, bad mobile design, zero SEO… all while losing real clients. Learn why custom-built sites like LAXXY offer long-term results, not short-term regret.

Let’s break down the cost of "cheap" — and show you what works better.

What You Actually Need From a Website

Here’s what a proper business website should do:

Look good on any screen
Show up on Google
Store your leads
Accept payments
Confirm bookings
Send reminders
Keep your clients coming back

A cheap builder might give you a pretty template.
But none of the above.

You need to know a lot more than you think

What Happens With Cheap Website Builders

Most low-cost platforms:

Limit your design options
Don't include booking or CRM tools
Load slowly (which hurts SEO)
Look bad on phones
Can’t grow with your business

You end up:

Paying extra for tools they don’t include
Losing clients due to broken forms or no follow-up
Rebuilding your site from scratch later

You lose money, time, and trust.

The Hidden Costs of Rebuilding

We’ve seen this happen many times:

A client builds their own site.
Realizes it doesn’t work.
Hires us to fix or rebuild it.
Pays double — and starts from zero again.

Instead of saving money, they lose weeks of business and still pay more later.
