$24 a year vs. $24 a month
Most website builders charge monthly, forever, and lock your site inside their platform. SiteONTHEGO charges $24 per year and builds a complete WordPress website for you in under 5 minutes — no templates, and nothing proprietary holding your site hostage. Here is the honest, line-by-line comparison; every competitor price is the vendor’s own published rate.

Where we’re not the right choice
A comparison page that pretends the other options are useless is a page nobody trusts. Here is what the others genuinely do better.
Do you need an online store today?
Wix and Squarespace ship a mature storefront on day one. We do not yet — an online store needs the AI Webmaster, which is in development. If selling products online is your core business and you cannot wait, they are the safer pick for now.
Do you want to design it yourself, pixel by pixel?
Wix and Squarespace give you a canvas. We give you a finished, template-free WordPress site you can edit block by block afterwards. If designing every margin from a blank page is what you enjoy, a builder will suit you better.
Do you need bookings, CRM and invoicing now?
Durable bundles CRM, invoicing and bookings into its plans on day one. Ours come with AI Worker Agents, which is in development. If you need those tools running today, Durable is the better fit.
The $24 question
$24 a year is not a pricing trick. We build and host the site, so the marginal cost of your website is low, and we would rather have a thousand businesses at $24 than ten at $2,400. What you are buying is a complete, fast, hosted WordPress website built from scratch — not an unlimited design agency, and not a template you spend a weekend fighting.
