Is Flux88 a website builder like Wix or Squarespace?
No. Wix, Squarespace and GoDaddy give you tools to build and maintain a website yourself. Flux88 is a service: we design and build the website for you, then manage it and make your routine updates for $20 a month.
Which is cheaper, a website builder or Flux88?
Monthly prices are in the same range. Website builder plans typically run about $15 to $50 a month, and Flux88 is $20 a month for a standard website of up to 5 pages. The difference is who does the work: with a builder you build and update the site yourself, and with Flux88 we do it for you.
When is a website builder the better choice?
When you enjoy doing it yourself, want to change the site daily on your own schedule, or need an online store. Flux88 does not build online stores.
When is an agency the better choice?
When you need a large website, custom software features, branding work or a full marketing program, and have the budget for it. Agencies typically charge $5,000 to $15,000 or more for a small business website.
Can I move my existing website to Flux88?
Yes. If your current website looks outdated or no longer represents your business, we can redesign it with a fresh, modern look, and you keep your domain. Redesigns of websites with more than 5 pages are priced by custom quote.
Is there a contract with Flux88?
The $0 setup offer requires an initial 12-month commitment to the $20 a month Management Plan. After that it continues month-to-month and you can cancel anytime. Your domain and website belong to you.
