We start off by comparing a website to a car. This comparison works well because cars like websites have a wide range of costs and it all comes down to the number of features and quality of the final product. We then go into all the parts of a website build that the layperson is not aware of and the opportunity costs of DIY. ### Show Links - [Wordpress.com](https://wordpress.com/) - [Wix](https://www.wix.com/) - [Webflow](https://webflow.com/) - [Why Content Writers Love Craft CMS](https://caffeinecreations.ca/why-content-writers-love-craft-cms/) - [Website CMS User Manual for End Users](https://caffeinecreations.ca/blog/website-cms-user-manual-for-end-users/) - [Mikes Google Analytics Package](https://belikewater.ca/page/packages#fndtn-package-1) - [How Much Should a Website Cost You?
