Side by side

Brickloom vs DIY builder vs agency.

Seven rows. General industry patterns vary by provider — Brickloom’s own prices and promises are the published ones on this site.

Starting price

Brickloom

From $299. Four published packages, one-time.

DIY builder

A monthly fee, billed for as long as you keep the site — plus your own time.

Custom agency

Often thousands of dollars, commonly with a deposit up front.

Time to launch

Brickloom

Most standard sites within 48 hours of receiving your details.

DIY builder

However many evenings it takes you.

Custom agency

Commonly several weeks of calls and rounds.

Design control

Brickloom

Customization within your agreed package scope.

DIY builder

Total freedom — and total responsibility.

Custom agency

Bespoke, across as many rounds as you fund.

Content and copy

Brickloom

You send your business details; we write and lay out the website content within your package scope.

DIY builder

You write every page yourself.

Custom agency

Copywriting is often a separate, added service.

SEO and contact features

Brickloom

Basic SEO setup, contact form, and integrations included.

DIY builder

Available, but you wire and maintain them.

Custom agency

Sometimes included, sometimes an added fee.

Hosting and ownership

Brickloom

You own the finished site and can host it anywhere. No lock-in.

DIY builder

Rented — you stay on their stack and pricing.

Custom agency

Often arranged and held by the agency.

Ongoing maintenance

Brickloom

Not included — that is how the price stays published.

DIY builder

Platform updates handled; content changes are yours.

Custom agency

Usually a monthly retainer.

What about bigger builds?

Substantial custom development is quoted separately.

E-commerce, logins, custom databases, or advanced booking and payment systems are scoped and quoted on their own terms. Gold is the deepest build within the scope we agree — not unlimited custom development.

Website examples

Demonstration builds and portfolio references.

Examples on this site are demonstration builds and portfolio references illustrating Brickloom’s capabilities — not client work.
