Know what you’re choosing
A template can be the right answer.
Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy can be practical ways to run a small-business website. Their subscription costs are part of the decision, but so are ease of editing, platform limits, and how well the site serves your customers. Soltheia can improve a site you already have or build a custom one when the existing platform no longer fits.
Wix
~$200–$470 / year
Light through Business plans, billed annually. A flexible visual builder can be a sensible fit when you want to manage the site yourself; pricing and platform limits vary by plan.
Squarespace
~$190–$470 / year
Basic through Plus plans, billed annually. Its structured system can make ongoing editing approachable, while more specialized needs may require custom work or another platform.
GoDaddy
~$120–$250 / year
Website Builder plans, billed annually. It can cover straightforward business needs quickly; performance, flexibility, and available features depend on the plan and implementation.
Soltheia
$2,500 for a standard custom build
A 5–8 page custom website with copywriting, two revision rounds, and documented pre-launch technical checks. It is one option — not the automatic answer when an existing platform can be improved responsibly.
