DIY vs Professional Web Design: Which Is the Cheapest Path to Get Online?


Both approaches can get your site live, but they come with different costs—some obvious, some hidden. Let's unpack what "cheap" means for DIY and professional web design and which option saves you more overall.

When launching a website, you face a choice: do it yourself or hire a pro? Cost often drives the decision, with many people searching for a cheap website designer or exploring cheap web design tools that promise an easy, budget-friendly start.

Both approaches can get your site live, but they come with different costs—some obvious, some hidden. Let's unpack what "cheap" means for DIY and professional web design and which option saves you more overall.

The DIY Path


DIY web design seems like the cheapest way to start. Platforms like Shopify, Squarespace, or WordPress offer affordable plans with drag-and-drop templates. For a few dollars a month, you can create a site without technical know-how.

If you're comfortable with tech and have a sense of design, DIY can be a cheap web design option. You skip the cost of hiring someone and can tweak your site whenever you want. Many startups and creators choose this to keep expenses low.

But there's more to it. Building a site takes time—picking layouts, colors, and navigation, and making sure it works across devices. If you're figuring it out as you go, those hours pile up fast, and time isn't free.

Costs can also creep up. Basic plans are cheap, but extras like e-commerce, custom domains, or analytics often require pricier plans. A $15 plan can jump to $45 when you add the features your site needs to compete.

Templates can also box you in. If you want a design or feature that's not standard, you might be stuck without coding skills. DIY is only cheap if your needs are basic and you have time to burn.

The Professional Path


Hiring a cheap website designer or agency costs more upfront. Even budget designers charge a few hundred bucks, and agencies often start in the thousands.

What you're buying is skill and efficiency. A professional can build a site that looks great and works smoothly across devices, handling things like SEO, fast loading, and accessibility. What takes you days or weeks, they can do in hours.

DIY sites can backfire. A site that looks okay on your laptop might fail on mobile or load too slowly, losing you visitors. A professional avoids these pitfalls, saving you money by keeping your audience engaged.

Not every designer is a bargain, though. A cheap website designer might use cookie-cutter templates or skimp on support after launch. A pricier designer or agency often delivers better quality and ongoing help, which can justify the cost.

Paying more doesn't mean wasting money. For many, a professional is the cheapest option when you consider time and missed opportunities.

Defining "Cheap"


The cheapest route isn't just about the initial cost—it's about the long game.

For simple sites, like blogs or basic portfolios, DIY is tough to top. Low fees and ready-made designs keep your wallet happy.

But if your website drives your business, a DIY site's issues could cost you customers. A cheap website designer who builds a reliable, professional site might save you more, even if the initial bill is higher.

Think about the future too. DIY sites work until your needs evolve. Moving to a custom site later can be expensive. A professional can create a flexible site that grows with you, saving you from costly rebuilds.

After Going Live


A website needs attention after launch. Updates, security, and backups are ongoing. DIY platforms often bundle some maintenance into their fees, but advanced features or fixes cost extra.

Professionals usually charge separately for maintenance—some offer plans, others bill by the hour. Skipping this saves money short-term but risks bigger issues like hacks or crashes. Both options have ongoing costs to factor in.

This is a hidden piece of cheap web design that's easy to miss. Launching is just step one.

The Final Take


What's the cheapest way to get online? It depends on your situation.

If you're strapped for cash and need a basic site, DIY is the cheapest in dollars. You'll pay with your time instead.

If your site needs to perform or you can't afford a bad first impression, a cheap website designer might be the smarter choice. It costs more upfront but saves time, errors, and potential losses.

Cheap isn't just about the price tag. Sometimes, the cheapest path is the one that gets it right the first time, even if it means spending a bit more.

Lyrics:
If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did he come from, where did he go?
Where did he come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was having some fun

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

He brought disaster wherever he went
The hearts of the girls was to Hell, broken, sent
They all ran away so nobody would know
And left only men ’cause of Cotton-Eye Joe

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

Aurora Australis over Concordia station


image

Image:

The Aurora Australis, photographed over Concordia station in July 2025, during the ongoing solar activity maximum, the peak of the Sun's 11-year cycle.

This dazzling light show appears when charged particles from the Sun are guided by Earth’s magnetic field towards the polar regions, where they collide with gases in the upper atmosphere and create shimmering waves of colour dancing across the sky.

Concordia station, perched high on Antarctica’s Dome C plateau, is one of the most remote research outposts on Earth. On 4 May this year, the Sun set below the horizon and only returned on 10 August. During this four-month polar winter, the station's crew experienced continuous darkness and glacial temperatures plummeting to –80°C.

This frozen, silent world is an analogue for space missions, with the isolation, extreme cold, lack of sunlight and distance from emergency support mirroring the challenges astronauts will face on long-duration missions.

Each year, ESA sponsors a medical doctor to live and work at Concordia station for a full winterover, conducting research into how the human body and mind adapt to these conditions. This year, Dr Nina Purvis from the United Kingdom has joined the DC21 crew – the 21st team to winterover at the station – to carry out biomedical studies on herself and her crewmates to help prepare for future missions to the Moon and Mars.

Follow Nina’s updates from the station and read more stories from past ESA-sponsored doctors on our Concordia blog.
