How We Compare
The most common question I get:
"What did you build it with?"
Pure HTML and CSS — no WordPress, no Wix, no plugins, no platform. Your site runs on Cloudflare's global network (the same infrastructure Fortune 500 companies pay tens of thousands for) at zero cost. Here's the full picture of why that matters. Deep dive: Is HTML actually better for Google rankings? →
| DIY (Wix / Squarespace) | OxOne Website | Agency (WordPress) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 💰 Cost | |||
| One-time cost | $0 | $1,200 – $3,500 | $3,500 – $10,000+ |
| Monthly fee | $17 – $45/mo forever | $0 required | Often $200 – $500/mo |
| Year 2+ annual cost | $200 – $540/yr (same bill, indefinitely) | ~$20/yr domain only | $2,400 – $6,000+/yr retainer |
| 3-year total | $612 – $1,620+ | $1,200 – $3,500 | $10,000 – $25,000+ |
| 🏗️ What It's Built On | |||
| Platform / tech stack | ~ Proprietary — Wix or Squarespace only | ✓ Hand-coded HTML/CSS — no platform, no CMS | ~ WordPress + plugins (needs upkeep) |
| Page load speed | 2 – 5 seconds (heavy JavaScript) | Under 1 second (Cloudflare CDN) | Varies — WordPress avg 2 – 4s |
| Ongoing maintenance | ✓ Managed — they handle it | ✓ Zero — nothing to patch or update | ✗ Monthly plugin + security updates required |
| Hosting | Included in subscription | Free (Cloudflare), always | $10 – $50/mo extra typical |
| 🔒 Ownership & Control | |||
| You own the files | ✗ No — locked to their platform | ✓ Every file is yours, forever | ~ Usually yes, depends on contract |
| Can take it elsewhere | ✗ No export available | ✓ Zip file on request — host it free anywhere | ~ Usually, with caveats |
| Any developer can edit it | ✗ Only their editor — no escape | ✓ Standard HTML — any developer on earth can open it | ~ Maybe — depends on their setup and access |
| Platform risk | ✗ They control pricing — Wix raised fees 3× since 2019 | ✓ Zero — HTML runs on any host, free, forever | ~ Low if you own the WordPress install |
| ⚙️ Quality & Support | |||
| Custom design | ~ Templates — you tweak, not customize | ✓ Built specifically for your business | ✓ Yes |
| SEO setup | ~ Basic tools — you do it yourself | ✓ Done for you, built in from day one | ✓ Yes |
| Done in | Weeks (you build it yourself) | 7 business days | 6 – 12 weeks |
| Support | Help centre + chat bot | Me, directly — phone or email | Ticket system, account manager |
* "Agency" refers to typical Calgary WordPress shops. Figures are market estimates — your mileage will vary. Wix fee increase history is publicly documented.
