Hoot Host vs DIY Platforms
DIY platforms like Wix and Squarespace may seem appealing due to their low cost, but they always lack the personalized guidance, essential tools, and ongoing support that small businesses need to succeed. Hoot Host goes beyond just website building by offering ongoing coaching, maintenance, integrated CRM and marketing tools, and a user-friendly website designed to represent your business and support its continued growth.
