Pieced together elsewhere

$690+/mo

A stack of separate bills — plus the hours to set up, connect, and maintain it all fall on you.

The Marhardt way

$100–$300/mo

One plan, one price, fully managed — including the custom site build, with no upfront fee.

Typical market rates for comparable services purchased separately. Actual costs vary by provider and plan — the point is simply how quickly the pieces add up.

WordPress vs. Wix vs. Marhardt

Same website. Very different price and quality.

WordPress is powerful but hands you every update, patch, and outage. Wix is cheap but leaves you as the designer, SEO team, and support desk. We do it all for you — one predictable monthly price.
