In 2025, almost every small business needs a website — but not everyone knows whether to hire a professional or go DIY using platforms like Wix or Squarespace.
At Script Lobby, we’ve helped dozens of Sydney businesses (and many from Newtown and beyond) who started DIY but eventually realised they needed expert help. Here’s what you need to know before making your choice.
Pros:
Quick to launch
