1 Week Sites vs the usual suspects.
Side-by-side comparisons against the platforms and providers most people are weighing up. Real UK 2026 prices, real Lighthouse numbers, and the honest case for when each one beats a bespoke build.
1 Week Sites vs Squarespace
Squarespace is fast to start and hard to leave. Here is what you actually get for £25 a month — and when a flat-fee bespoke build makes more sense.
1 Week Sites vs Wix
Wix is fine until you try to leave it. Here is what £9 to £36 a month actually gets you — and when a bespoke build is the cheaper long play.
1 Week Sites vs Webflow
Webflow gets you most of the way; I cover the last mile in code. What £15–£35 a month hosting really costs — and when a bespoke build is cleaner.
1 Week Sites vs Framer
Framer is a design canvas that publishes a site. I write the code. Where the per-site fee adds up, where the animation tooling earns its keep, and which you should pick.
1 Week Sites vs WordPress
WordPress still runs most of the internet. It also breaks most of it. Real 2026 cost of ownership — plugins, hosting, updates, all in.
1 Week Sites vs Fiverr
Fiverr is a marketplace, not a studio — and the difference matters. When a £75 gig is perfect, and when a £1,000 bespoke build quietly pays back.
1 Week Sites vs a design agency
A good agency is worth every pound; most small businesses don't need one. When the £8,000 quote earns its keep — and when it quietly doesn't.
1 Week Sites vs DIY
DIY is the right answer until it isn't. Honest costing — your time, the opportunity cost, and when a £1,000 flat fee is the cheap option.
