See The Difference
One Website, Three Different Experiences
Not all websites are created equal. Whether you’re doing it yourself, hiring a budget freelancer, or working with a dedicated partner like us, the outcome can be drastically different. Here’s an example of what your investment really gets you.
No need to stress
DIY platforms like Wix make it easy to get started with a website, especially if you’re on a tight budget and have the time to learn the tools. For some, this is enough but building a site that’s truly polished, fast, mobile-friendly, and tailored to your business takes more time and expertise than most people expect. You might find yourself spending hours troubleshooting design quirks, figuring out SEO, or trying to connect the right apps for booking or selling products. Our approach takes all of that off your plate. We handle the tech, the design, and the strategy so you can focus on running your business with confidence, knowing your website reflects your brand in the best light.
Example of DIY Wix Site
The Image is Blurry
Incorrectly sized images can cause "white-space" or gaps and not knowing how to correctly size them can cause them to appear low quality and blurry.
Low Quality JPG Logo
Self made logos are usually too low in resolution and made as a JPG which is not good for digital media. There is also uneven padding between the logo and the left side of the navigation bar.
Poor Button Design
The button here is far too big for this space and it is way too close to the welcome message.
Jarring Colors
The colors here are default colors and have had no adjustments made to them, leading to a website that's too bright and hard on the eyes.
Incorrect Spacing and Lack of Design
The modules showing the image, about me, and pricing lack any cohesiveness or eye catching design. They are also spaced incorrectly.

Minimal Header Image Adjustments
The header image here is full resolution and sized right but the image is not placed in the view correctly so it is cutting off important parts. It also has no image adjustments so it's a little difficult to see the welcome message.
Low Quality JPG Logo
Here the padding has been fixed on the left side of the logo but the logo is still a low quality jpg.
Poor Button Design
Here the button has been sized a little better but there are still a few things that can be done to make it stand out and look nicer.
Poor flow of colors
The colors here are not as jarring as the previous site but there are too many colors that don't match and the differing colors don't pair as well.
Elements don't fit well
The box with the outline was a nice touch here and the spacing is much better but the modules don't really fit well with the theme of the site.
You need a pro
Working with a low-cost freelancer can seem like a great middle ground and sometimes it is. But more often than not, you may end up with a site that looks good on the surface but lacks scalability, proper optimization, or long-term support. It’s not uncommon for clients to return to us after struggling with delays, communication gaps, or disappearing developers. We offer a more guided, professional experience from day one. You’ll get a website that’s built to grow with your business, plus ongoing support and maintenance, so you’re never left in the dark when something breaks or needs updating.

Image Flows With the Design
Here the image has been replaced with an image that is high quality, fits well with the design, and is placed in correctly to fit the rest of the design.
New Logo
Here the logo has been replaced with a new custom logo that can be a png or an svg so that it works with various use cases like print or digital media.
Contrasting Button
This button has been redesigned to add a little more interest or attention to it. it is a contrasting color and still fits the color scheme of the design over-all.
Better Color Tone
Here the colors have been changed to fit with the logo design and over-all feel of the business. The colors have been toned down a bit and made a little more pleasing on the eyes comparitively.
Fixed module layout
The modules have been fixed here and the photo has been edited. Now everything looks cleaner and fits with the design.
