If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

We've all heard this before, yet businesses still fall for "cheap website deals" that seem like a steal... until they realize what they actually signed up for.

At WebEaze, we often get called in to fix or rebuild sites that were originally built for $99 or $199. We understand the appeal of low prices, however these quick fixes usually come with hidden costs that end up hurting you in the long run.

1. No Real Support After Launch

Most cheap designers build your site and disappear. There's no maintenance, updates, and no one to call when something breaks.

What's the cost? Downtime, broken links, and a bad customer experience.

2. Template Lock-In

Budget services often use restricted templates or third-party platforms that you don't own or control. You may think you own your website, but you're really renting it.

At WebEaze, we provide a full breakdown of what you own vs what we manage. We also provide you with full login details if we utilize third-party websites or software to complete your site. It's your website, and your money, so we take pride in full transparency regarding your website.

What's the cost? You can't easily move your site or make changes without paying more.

3. Poor SEO Setup

Cheap sites rarely include proper SEO settings, fast load speeds, or mobile optimization. This makes it hard for your customers to find you on Google.

What's the cost? Lower traffic, fewer leads, less visibility.

4. Hidden Ongoing Fees

Some platforms lure you in with a cheap setup, then charge high monthly fees to keep the site live or make edits. While it is common for web design agencies to increase their rates due to rising costs of resources and time, it should always be communicated with you from the beginning along with a way to compensate for changes in pricing.

What's the cost? You end up locked into a system that costs more over time.

5. Unprofessional Appearance

Your website is often the first impression of your business. A cookie-cutter, low-quality site can make you look untrustworthy or outdated.

What's the cost? Low credibility and missed opportunities.

Why Invest in Professional Web Design?

When you invest in a professional, you're not just paying for a website—you're paying for strategy, performance, and ongoing support that help your business grow, not just exist online.

At WebEaze, we believe in transparent pricing, reliable support, and websites that are designed to convert. It makes us happy to see your website grow, which is why we offer SEO services with every plan we offer. No surprises, no lock-ins—just results.
