Why a $20 Website
Will Cost You Thousands
You found a deal. Someone offered to build your business website for $20. Here's what that $20 actually costs you.
See It For Yourself
I built a $20 website intentionally to show you what that money buys. Open it on your phone. Wait for it to load. Try to find the menu.
What You Just Experienced
If you opened the demo, here's what you saw.
5+ Second Load Time
Visitors stare at a blank screen before anything appears
Placeholder Text
"Hello World" and "Sample Page" still visible on the site
Broken on Mobile
Buttons cut off, text unreadable on phones
Links Go Nowhere
Contact pages, menus, and buttons don't work
The Real Cost
A bad website doesn't just look cheap, it actively repels customers.
When someone visits your website, they're asking one question: Is this a real business? A $20 website answers "no" before they read a single word. Broken links, placeholder text, slow loading, these aren't just aesthetic problems. They're trust problems.
Most web traffic now comes from phones. A $20 website is built for desktop, tested once, and never checked again. Your customers are browsing on phones during lunch breaks and commutes. Broken on mobile means invisible to them.
Nobody waits anymore. If your site takes 5 seconds to load, most visitors have already left. They hit the back button and clicked your competitor's link instead.
What You're Paying For
Want to see every tier from $20 to $10,000? I built them all.
The Hidden Problem: You'll Pay Twice
That $20 decision just cost you $520 instead of $500.
When a $20 Website Makes Sense
- You're testing a business idea before committing
- You literally have zero budget and need something today
- You're a hobbyist, not a business
A Better Alternative: Google Business Profile
If budget is tight, don't buy a $20 website. Set up a Google Business Profile instead.
- It's free
- Shows up in local searches
- Displays hours, photos, and reviews
- Customers can call with one tap
The Bottom Line
A $20 website works against you. It tells customers you don't care, you're not professional, and you might not even be a real business.
The real cost isn't $20.
It's every customer who clicked away.
See For Yourself
Don't take my word for it. Open the demos on your phone. Time how long they take to load. Try to find contact information. Then ask yourself: Would I trust this business?
