Why Companies Like Squarespace, Wix, and GoDaddy Are Hurting Your Business
In today’s digital world, having a website is a necessity for any business. But not all website solutions are created equal. Many business owners turn to big-name website builders like Squarespace, Wix, and GoDaddy Website Builder because they seem easy and affordable. However, what these platforms don’t tell you is that their limitations could be costing your business more than you realize.
If you’re a contractor, your website should work for you—generating leads, showcasing your work, and making it easy for potential customers to reach out. That’s where SavePro Designs, a Northern California-based web design company, comes in.
SavePro Designs offers BuilderNow, a simplistic yet powerful website builder designed specifically for contractors. Unlike the one-size-fits-all approach of big platforms, BuilderNow is easy to use, budget-friendly, and tailored to help contractors get more clients. In fact, one client gained from your website per year typically pays for itself—making it an investment that truly works for your business.
And for businesses needing even more customization, SavePro Designs also offers fully custom web design solutions with features like custom order forms, before-and-after project galleries, and much more.
The Problem with Large Website Builders
1. Generic Templates That Don't Fit Your Business
Platforms like Squarespace and Wix offer a one-size-fits-all approach. While this might work for a blogger or small retail store, it’s not designed for contractors. You need a website that highlights your work, attracts leads, and functions seamlessly across devices.
With BuilderNow by SavePro Designs: Your website is built with contractors in mind. It includes features like project galleries, estimate request forms, and local SEO optimization, all designed to help you win more jobs.
2. Poor SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Performance
What good is a website if no one can find it? Wix and GoDaddy Website Builder are notorious for poor SEO capabilities, making it difficult for businesses to rank on Google and attract local customers.
With BuilderNow: Your website is optimized for search engines from day one, making it easier for potential clients in your area to find your business when searching for contractors.
3. Slow Load Times That Drive Customers Away
Many of these DIY website builders use bloated code that slows down your site. If your website takes longer than 3 seconds to load, visitors are likely to leave and look elsewhere.
With BuilderNow: Your website is built for speed and performance, ensuring potential clients stay engaged and actually reach out instead of bouncing to a competitor’s site.
4. Limited Customization and Scalability
Big platforms lock you into cookie-cutter features. If you want advanced functionality—such as custom order forms, interactive project galleries, or client portals—you’ll likely hit a wall with platforms like Wix and Squarespace.
With SavePro Designs' Custom Web Design: If you need something beyond BuilderNow, SavePro Designs offers fully custom-built websites with business-specific features tailored to your exact needs. Whether it’s before-and-after project showcases, customer review integration, or service request forms, they create solutions that help your business grow.
5. You're Renting, Not Owning
Here’s the dirty little secret of big website builders: You don’t actually own your website. The moment you stop paying their monthly fees, your site disappears.
With SavePro Designs: You own your website outright. No platform lock-in, no surprise fees—just a high-performing, contractor-focused website that works for you.
6. The Frustration of Dealing with a Large Corporation
Ever tried getting support from Squarespace, Wix, or GoDaddy? You’ll first talk to an automated system, then get transferred to a sales rep who can’t actually solve your problem. They’ll chat with their backend support team while keeping you on hold, only to tell you that they’ll “get back to you in 24-48 hours.”
Your business doesn’t have 24-48 hours to wait.
With SavePro Designs: You’re talking to one person—the owner, designer, and developer all at the same time. There’s no bouncing between departments, no scripted answers, and no frustrating chat delays. You get immediate answers from someone who knows your website inside and out.
