When you’re building a digital presence, you’re faced with two very common paths: hiring a freelancer, picking a cheap template or DIY solution, or paying an agency for a “custom” build that costs a small fortune. What most businesses don’t realize is that neither path automatically leads to growth. In fact, many websites get built, launch… and then quietly fade out.
If your website isn’t generating visitors, leads, or conversions — it’s not just an expense. It’s a liability.
Don’t gamble on your next build. Book a Free Strategy Call and let’s turn your site into a real growth engine.
The Harsh Reality
-
On average, websites across industries convert only about 3.3% of their visitors into leads or customers. Invesp+1
-
The average e-commerce conversion rate hovers around 2.5% to 3% — and many small business sites fall well below that. Shopify+1
-
One source found that 70% of small business websites fail to generate meaningful results (leads, conversions, traffic). AK Technolabs
-
Delay your page load by even one second, and you risk a ~7% drop in conversions. Trebletree
Put simply: building a website is one thing. Building a website that performs is quite another.

Why Cheap Templates & “One-Off” Builds Fail
-
Low cost = low investment, low commitment. Whether it’s a $99 template or a $1,000 freelancer job, the budget often mirrors the minimal optimization and strategic thinking behind the build.
-
Expensive custom = big cost, big risk. The “custom build” label often comes with a hefty price tag — but that doesn’t guarantee that the site will convert, scale, or adapt. If you’re locked into the solution with no ongoing support or optimization, you’re just buying an asset that sits.
-
Launch != growth. Many sites go live and then stop there — no optimization, no updates, no data-driven tweaks. With the stats above, it really isn’t a surprise when these sites perform poorly.
