DIY builder vs agency vs me.

Three real ways to get a website. Here's the honest trade-off on cost, quality, ownership, and who actually picks up the phone.

	DIY (Wix/Squarespace)	Traditional agency	Tyler Jordan Studio
Fully custom design (not a template)
Built by a senior designer/developer
You talk to the person building it
Typical one-time cost	$0–$500 + your time	$8k–$25k+	$999–$6k
Time to launch	Weeks (you build it)	2–4 months	2–6 weeks
Mobile-fast & accessible
Real SEO foundation
Ongoing edits handled for you
You own the site & code
Personal, local, responsive support

Costs are typical ranges for a small-business site, not guarantees. The point: agency-level craft, without the agency price or the DIY headache.

The smart middle.

You get a fully custom, hand-built site from someone with decades of UX experience — for a fraction of agency pricing, and far better than anything you'd wrestle together yourself.
