You're a plumber, not a web designer. Here's why DIY website builders cost you more than you think. and what to do instead.
Wix advertises free plans and drag-and-drop simplicity. What they don't advertise: the 20+ hours you'll spend picking a template, writing copy, choosing photos, fighting the editor, and still ending up with a site that looks like every other Wix site on the block.
For a plumber billing $150/hour, those 20 hours cost $3,000 in lost revenue. And you still don't have SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, directory listings, a review engine, or any kind of growth plan.
You have a digital business card. That's it.

Wix gives you a canvas and says "good luck." That works for hobbyists and side projects. It doesn't work for a contractor who needs to show up on Google, collect reviews, get listed in directories, and convert visitors into estimate requests.
A website without a growth strategy is a digital business card collecting dust.
