When Your Website Is More Than a Homepage—It’s Your 24/7 Employee

Two Roads, One Website: Which One Leads to Results?

There’s a moment every business owner faces—usually around 2:17 a.m.—where you find yourself deep in a YouTube tutorial titled "How to Fix Header Alignment in [Insert Platform Here]" with five browser tabs open and absolutely no idea how you got here. That’s the price of going full DIY.

And then there’s the other side: hiring professionals, paying more, and hoping you don’t end up explaining what a favicon is for the third time.

Welcome to the website support showdown: Platinum Web Support by Epoch Tech Solutions vs going solo with a DIY builder.

Let’s break this down like grown-ups, with real numbers, clear pros and cons, and none of the “drag-and-drop your dreams” fluff.

DIY Website Building

Interface & Features

DIY platforms like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress make it look easy. Templates? Sure. Drag-and-drop? You bet. But start customizing beyond font colors and you’ll quickly hit a wall. You get what you see—and nothing more.

Pricing

Tempting, isn’t it? $10 to $20 a month and boom—you’re live. But once you start tacking on plug-ins, e-commerce fees, and SEO tools, that “affordable” build starts looking like a time-suck in disguise.

Mobile Accessibility

Most templates claim to be mobile-ready. But check your site on three different phones and five screen sizes, and you'll likely catch an uninvited scroll bar or misaligned button.

This isn’t a cookie-cutter setup. Platinum Web Support is tailored to your business—branding, layout, performance, the works. You get a site that doesn’t just look pretty; it works hard in the background with SEO, performance optimization, and real security layers.

Pricing

Yes, it’s an investment. But here’s what you’re really paying for: no technical headaches, zero learning curve, and a site that actually converts visitors. You’re not buying a website; you’re buying peace of mind and performance.

Mobile is no longer optional—it’s the main stage. Platinum ensures responsive design across devices, tested and optimized, not just “should work” assumptions.
