The Hidden Cost of DIY
WordPress and Webflow seem cheaper upfront. But the true cost includes your time. If you spend 10 hours per month updating your site, that's an invisible €500-1,000 monthly cost (your time). Add in frustration, errors, and downtime, and the DIY approach becomes expensive fast. WebAssist's higher monthly fee offsets the time you save.
Verdict
Choose based on your situation: Business owner, no technical skills, frequent updates? WebAssist. Want to build yourself, willing to learn? Webflow. Need complex functionality? WordPress. Want simplicity and speed? Wix.
