What makes Pivotal Flow a great alternative to site builders

Published on
November 4, 2024

Many professional individuals will start out by building their own website using site builders such as Wix or Squarespace because they are cheaper than marketing agencies but these can be very limiting and take up time.

Here’s why you should make the switch to Pivotal-Flow to obtain a professional, quick and SEO compliant website.

What are the differences?

Site builders: You will be building the website, you will need to think about your website strategy, content, design, development and SEO. Normally, you would use a premade template by someone else who has not taken into consideration your business and your needs. Secondly your template can be used on many people's websites making it harder for you to stand out in a crowd.

Pivotal-Flow: we will be building the website for you, we will think about and implement strategy, content, design, development and SEO.  We will be talking to you throughout your project with updates and to make sure we make your vision come to life. With us you also get access to our free and paid resources. Our resources are aimed at helping you be discovered online, get the most out of your website and generate content ideas.

Analytics comparison

Site builders: come with analytics built in, depending on your subscription package this may be limited to a basic analytics or use Google Analytics which is complex to use. If you want to set up link tracking then you will need a google tag manager account and follow online tutorials in order to track them.

Pivotal-Flow: All of our websites come with nocodelytics installed, nocodelytics is a company that focuses on giving simplified dashboards and makes it easy to track clicks, see what users search for and are GDPR compliant.

Target market

Site builders: Are aimed at all manor of business owners and professionals. While this is great for them it can hinder your growth because you will not be getting advice that is tailored for you.

Pivotal-Flow:  We focus on helping those in Arts, Culture and Mental health professionals. We tailor our content for professionals in those sectors.

Pricing

Site Builders: Many have different pricing structures but you can start with anything from £9/mo to £120/mo. These subscription packages do have limits and again you will be doing most of the website creation work.

Pivotal-Flow: We have 3 different pricing plans:

  1. Pivotal Point - A free plan that gets you access to our free resources and a free website review of your current website if you have one.
  2. Pivotal Shift - £250/mo A 7 page website with strategy, content, design and development delivered by us. Includes ongoing website updates and get access to our paid resources.
  3. Pivotal Breakthrough - £600/mo A website with strategy, content, design and development delivered by us. Including an integration such as membership or ticketing system to take payments. Includes ongoing website updates and get access to our paid resources.

Access

Site builders: You will have access to edit the website, certain areas maybe blocked due to plan limitations.

Pivotal-Flow: You will have access to edit the website, you will be able to update content, images, videos or upload a blog post. You can also get in contact with us if you need help updating anything on the site.

Time

Site builders: Depending on your site size and digital skills it can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks to several months before your site goes live.

Pivotal-Flow:

A site on the Pivotal Shift plan should take around 6-8 weeks to complete.

A site on the Pivotal Breakthrough plan should take around 12 weeks to complete.
