The short version · 72 Hour Websites vs a Freelancer
Same goal, very different amount of work for you.
Both get you a website. The real difference is who does the work, how long it takes, and what it costs you over a year. a Freelancer hands you the tools and the to-do list. We hand you a finished site, written for your business, in 72 hours, that you can then edit yourself with a click.

72 Hour Websites vs a Freelancer, point by point.
Being fair · where a Freelancer shines
When a Freelancer is the right call.
A great freelancer is worth it for a complex, custom build when you have the budget and time to manage it. The risk is the hunt, the inconsistency, and being dependent on one person for every future change.

Questions · 72 Hour Websites vs a Freelancer
Common questions
Is 72 Hour Websites really faster than a Freelancer?
Yes. With a Freelancer you build the site yourself, which takes hours to weeks. We hand you a finished, written-for-you site in 72 hours, often the same day.
Is it cheaper than a Freelancer?
It starts at a one-time $95, with no forced monthly fee to keep a basic site online. Most a Freelancer plans bill every month for as long as you stay. Our optional Care Plan is there only if you want us to manage and refresh the site for you.
Can I edit the site myself afterwards?
Yes. You get a private link, click any text or photo on your live site, change it, and publish. The design is guarded so nothing can break.
Do I own the website and domain?
You own your content and your domain, always. If you ever leave, you keep a full copy of your site.
What if I already have a site on a Freelancer?
We can rebuild it for you and move it over. Tell us your current address and we will send a free preview of the new version before you decide anything.
