Website Builder Myths

Let’s talk about website builders. Here’s what you need to know:

Myth #1: You can create a website in no time

✅ PARTLY TRUE

Yes, you can slap something together pretty fast.
But making it look good? That’s a whole different beast.

Reality

• Find a template that doesn’t suck: 2 hours
• Tweak colors and fonts: 3 hours
• Fix the header (logo stuck between top and bottom, plus that scroll reveal): 5 hours (with a few dog-pee breaks sprinkled in)

Bottom line: It’s days, not minutes.

Myth #2: You can ignore your site after you build it

❌ FALSE

Your website isn’t a toaster. You can’t just set it and forget it. You’ll still need to:

• Generate fresh content
• Hunt down broken links
• Tweak pages
• Handle SEO, test site speed, and more

There’s so much to do, you’d need a frankfurter donkey to pull it off.

Myth #3: It’s the cheapest

❌ That would be a Negative, Space Ghost

Sure, $16–30 a month sounds like a bargain. But hold your horses—let’s crunch the numbers:
$30 × 12 months = $360 a year.

That’s just for the basics. Want extras? Open your wallet wider.

Compare that to a static site or WordPress setup. Those can often cost less and give you way more freedom to customize.

Here’s the deal

Website builders are a godsend if you’re in a pinch and don’t mind their limits. But they’re no miracle fix.

If you want a simple site without the headaches, there are other options that won’t eat your time or lock you into their system.

Point is: The “easy” way isn’t always easier in the long haul. Choose wisely, friends. 🍺
