Option 1: Agency using WordPress
Having your website built by an agency using a CMS (content management system) such as WordPress will always be the most expensive option. This is because you are paying professionals for the design, development, and implementation of your website's look and functionality. This option works best for individuals who have large or complex websites, or people who don't want to make any layout or design changes to their site.
Having your website built by an agency using a Website Builder is a less expensive option, because you typically are only paying for the design of your website. Most functionality is already built in and will not require a lot of developer intervention. This option is usually best for individuals who have small/medium complexity websites and want to be able to easily edit their site without having to rely on the agency.
