DirectSite · Built before you buy

Compare the work, costs and responsibilities

A platform label does not tell you whether a website will meet your requirements. Compare editing, content, integrations, maintenance and handover. These guides disclose DirectSite’s commercial interest and focus on questions you can ask each provider.

Compare the same requirements on both sides

The Wix guide examines a hosted editing workflow against a scoped custom service. The WordPress guide explains why a content-management platform and custom design are not opposing categories. Both ask who updates content, who maintains the system and what the ongoing costs include. Decide which tasks your team needs to perform and ask each provider to demonstrate those exact tasks.

Avoid automatic winners

A platform name does not establish performance, ownership or search visibility. A template can be useful and a custom implementation can still be poorly maintained. Ask for evidence from the actual proposed website rather than a generic demo. Check transfer and support arrangements in writing. If an answer is missing, mark it unknown until it is clarified instead of treating the uncertainty as an advantage.
