A template builder, the local shop, a big-media bundle, or me. Here's the honest math.
Same comparisons my clients ran before they hired me. Including the rows where I lose.
| ANTHONY. | Template builders | Local CNY shop | Big-media agency | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost to start | $0 (Flex Lease) or $999 one-time | $192–$540/yr | $3K–$8K upfront | $199–$399/mo (locked in 12-mo) |
| Time to launch | 5 days from intake | You build it; weeks if you're new | 6–12 weeks typical | 4–6 weeks |
| Refundable until you approve | Yes | 14-day refund window | Deposit usually non-refundable | No (multi-year contract) |
| Hand-coded (no template) | Yes | No — drag-and-drop blocks | Usually a stock template | Templated platform |
| CRM included | 60 days of VertaFlow CRM | No | No | Bundled, but you can't take data out |
| You own the code + domain | Yes — exportable, no lock-in | No (proprietary platform) | Yes | No (platform-locked) |
| Best for | Local service businesses + small brands | Hobby sites, fast portfolios | Larger budgets, in-person rapport | Multi-location franchises |
Where I'm the wrong call: a large e-commerce storefront, a 50-editor CMS, or a native mobile app. I'll send you somewhere better — by name. See how I build for the full tradeoffs.
