Wix, Squarespace or a custom-built site

If you have time and need a simple page, Wix or Squarespace is enough. You pay a monthly fee and build it yourself. If your time is short or search and speed matter, hiring out is the better call. You pay once for the build and little each month after.

When DIY is the right call

  • You’re still testing the business idea
  • You have spare time and enjoy building
  • A single page is all you need

When hiring out is the right call

  • The shop keeps you too busy to build
  • Showing up in local search matters
  • You need both English and Korean
  • You want lower monthly costs

Looking at three years

With a builder, the plan fee runs every month for three years. With a fixed-price build, it’s $1,000 once, then $19 a month if you take the care plan, or only the domain if you don’t. It depends on the plan, but the longer you run the site, the more the gap narrows or flips.

Common questions

Can a Wix site be moved later?

Content and photos can come over, but the design has to be rebuilt. In practice that’s a redesign.

With a custom site, can I still make edits?

For regular sites, the care plan covers it. $19 a month includes 5 text or photo swaps. Shopify stores can be edited from the admin.
