Pricing
Is it cheaper to use a website builder or hire a web designer?
A builder often costs less for standard pages you can configure yourself. A designer may be worth the additional cost when original brand work, custom interactions, research, or migration expertise is central to the project.
A more useful answer
A builder can reduce the cost of standard Pages, Forms, and publishing when you can make the content decisions. That changes when the project needs original research, brand design, or custom behavior.
