DIY vs Studio Clu · the honest version

 DIY (Wix / Squarespace)Studio Clu
Upfront cost Cheaper to start, around $20 to $40 a month A one off build plus small yearly hosting
Your time You build and maintain it, hours you don't have Done for you, hands off
How it looks A template that looks like everyone else's Bespoke, made for your brand
Google / SEO Basic; you're on your own Built in from day one
Ownership You rent it, so stop paying and it's gone It's yours, properly
When it breaks Their support queue A real person in Bellingen
When it's the right call Yes if you're testing an idea, a hobby, on a very tight budget, or you need something live this week Yes if it's a real business, first impressions matter, and you want to be found and grow

We'd genuinely rather tell you the truth than sell you the wrong thing. If DIY is right for you right now, brilliant. Come back when it starts to hold you back.
