💸 Total Cost of Ownership

Wix might look cheap with an introductory offer of $17/mo, but the renewal price jumps to $17-29/mo. Over 5 years, you will likely spend ~$1,500+ just to keep your site online. With LaunchPad100, you pay $100 once. Hosting is free forever.

🛠️ Maintenance Nightmare

Wix: Drag-and-drop is easy but can generate messy code that hurts SEO.
LaunchPad100: Zero maintenance. Your site is static HTML/CSS. It cannot be hacked, it does not need plugin updates, and it does not crash.

🚀 Performance & SEO

Wix: Heavy JavaScript reliance often results in poor Core Web Vitals.
LaunchPad100: We build using Astro, shipping zero JavaScript by default. Your site loads instantly, making Google (and your customers) very happy.
