It’s 11 PM in Port Harcourt. The generator is humming, you’re on your third cup of coffee, and you’ve got two browser tabs open that represent the fate of your business's online future.
Tab 1: An AI website builder. It’s flashing a deal: “Get a stunning website for just ₦5,000 a month!” The pictures are slick. It promises you’ll be live before the cock crows. It feels like making Indomie noodles at midnight – fast, cheap, and it gets the job done. Sort of.
Tab 2: A quote from a local web design agency. The number on it makes you gulp. It’s not Indomie money; it’s “buy-a-small-plot-of-land” money. They talk about ‘strategy’ and ‘user journeys’. This is the bespoke suit, tailored to fit you perfectly.
So, what’s a smart business owner to do? Welcome to the great digital dilemma of 2025.
The Allure of Instant Noodles: The AI Builder Camp
Let’s be honest, the promise of a DIY website is tempting. Platforms like Wix, Squarespace, and a dozen others have democratized web design. But they come with a hidden cost: the “everyone else” look, a weak SEO foundation, and a brick wall of frustration when things go wrong.
The Bespoke Suit: The Human Developer Camp
On the other side, you have the traditional web developer. They offer strategy, a unique custom design, and an SEO powerhouse. The catch? The high cost and the long timeline, which can take months.
For years, you had to choose between fast-and-cheap or slow-and-expensive. We think that’s an old-fashioned choice.
