About this guide: Web Page Builder is published by Web Designer Limited, which trades as Zoib and sells done-for-you websites, so we have an interest in this comparison. We don’t earn commission from any website builder. Figures are quoted with their source and date. More about us.
In one minute
- Choose a builder if your brief is simple, you have time, and you’re happy to stay on that platform.
- Choose a designer if you want it done for you, need something less standard, or want advice as well as a tool.
- Whichever you choose, keep the domain in your own name and compare the three-year cost, not the first month.
