Your DIY Website Will Break at 18–24 Months
Then you'll pay A$15,000–A$50,000 to migrate to a real platform. We've seen it happen dozens of times.
18–24 Month Breaking Point
DIY platforms (Wix, Squarespace) fail when you scale. Traffic spikes, custom needs, or integrations break everything.
A$15K–A$50K Migration Cost
When DIY breaks, you pay premium rates to rebuild on a real platform. Plus downtime, lost revenue, and stress.
40+ Hours Learning Curve
DIY requires constant learning, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Your time is worth A$50/hour = A$2,000+ value lost.
The Hidden Cost of DIY
Over 5 years, DIY costs A$15,000–A$18,000+ when you factor in platform fees, your labor time, and the inevitable migration. That's 2–3x more than building right the first time.
