Comparisons & Choices

Custom Websites (What We Build):

  • ✅ Unique design tailored to your brand
  • ✅ Faster loading speeds (no plugin bloat)
  • ✅ Better security (no common vulnerabilities)
  • ✅ Scalable AWS infrastructure
  • ✅ Cleaner code and better SEO
  • ❌ Slightly higher upfront cost

WordPress:

  • ✅ Large plugin ecosystem
  • ✅ Familiar to many users
  • ❌ Template-based design (looks like competitors)
  • ❌ Requires constant plugin updates
  • ❌ Security vulnerabilities
  • ❌ Slower performance

Best for: Custom websites are ideal for businesses that want to stand out, scale efficiently, and avoid ongoing maintenance headaches. WordPress works for simple blogs or if you specifically need WordPress features.

Website builders are great for DIY projects, but have limitations:

Website Builders (Wix, Squarespace):

  • ✅ Easy to use for beginners
  • ✅ Quick setup
  • ❌ Limited customization (template-based)
  • ❌ Monthly fees ($20-$50/month forever)
  • ❌ Poor SEO performance
  • ❌ Can't export or move your site
  • ❌ Slower loading speeds

Custom Development with Twin Wicks:

  • ✅ Fully customized to your brand
  • ✅ One-time cost (no monthly platform fees)
  • ✅ Superior SEO and performance
  • ✅ You own your website completely
  • ✅ Scalable and flexible

Cost Comparison: A Wix site costs $20-50/month = $240-600/year. Our $199 website pays for itself in 4-10 months and you own it forever.

Freelancers:

  • ✅ Often cheaper ($500-2,000)
  • ❌ Variable quality and reliability
  • ❌ Limited availability
  • ❌ May disappear after project

Traditional Agencies:

  • ✅ Professional and reliable
  • ❌ Very expensive ($5,000-50,000+)
  • ❌ Slow turnaround (months)
  • ❌ Overkill for small businesses

Twin Wicks Digital Solutions:

  • ✅ Affordable pricing ($99-499)
  • ✅ Professional quality
  • ✅ Fast turnaround (days to weeks)
  • ✅ Ongoing support and reliability
  • ✅ AWS-powered infrastructure

Best for: We're perfect for small to medium businesses that want professional quality without agency prices or freelancer uncertainty.
