Why Custom-Built Costs More
You can build a site with Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress. But silent transaction failures and hidden costs add up.
| What You Need | Site Builders | Custom-Built (Smaoin) |
|---|---|---|
| Security | Rarely set up correctly | Secure by default — everything configured properly from day one |
| Emails reaching inboxes | Often ends up in spam | Set up so your emails land where they should |
| Payments | Transactions can fail silently | Nothing gets lost — every payment is tracked reliably |
| Page speed | Slow — plugins add weight that’s hard to remove | Fast to load, and built to stay that way |
| You own it | Tied to the platform — hard to move or change | Yours to keep, hand to anyone, or move wherever you like |
| Adding features later | Often means starting again | Built to grow — new features slot in without rebuilding |
| Knowing when things break | You find out when a customer tells you | Monitored — you know before your customers do |
| Support in 2 years | A plugin breaks and there’s nobody to call | Still works, still supported |
The Real Cost: A site where Stripe transactions fail silently? Cheap until a customer can't checkout. Emails in spam? Your messages don't get through. Pages loading in 4 seconds? People give up and leave. Custom-built costs more upfront because it doesn't cost you later.
How We Typically Work
Most clients start with one of these. We'll scope the details with you before any work begins.
Website Health Check
Not sure if your current site is set up correctly? We check your website, email setup, and domain configuration — then give you a plain-English report on what’s working, what isn’t, and what we’d fix.
Good for: businesses with an existing site that aren’t sure it’s doing the job.
Get in TouchNew Website
A professional site that loads fast, looks right on mobile, doesn’t end up in spam, and won’t let you down when it matters. We handle everything — design, build, hosting, and the technical setup most agencies skip.
Good for: businesses starting fresh or replacing something that’s not working.
Get in TouchOngoing Support
We keep an eye on things so you don’t have to. Updates, backups, security checks, and someone to call when something goes wrong — without a full-time hire.
