Juhmp vs DIY website builders

A DIY builder gives you the tools. You still do the work: writing pages, making changes, setting up the search basics and keeping it all current. With Juhmp, an AI employee does that work for you by email. You see it on a preview first, and nothing goes live until you reply APPROVE. If you like editing your own site and have the time, DIY is a fine choice.

The short answer

It comes down to who does the work. With a builder, you do. With Juhmp, you tell your AI employee what you want by email, look at a preview, and approve it.

On cost: most builders charge a monthly or yearly plan fee. Juhmp plans start at $149 a month, plus a one-time setup fee. See pricing.

What DIY builders do well

Most builders give you ready-made templates and drag-and-drop editing, and their paid plans include hosting. For a simple site, that can be all you need.

What you still do yourself

With a builder, these are still on you:

  • Writing the words on every page
  • Choosing photos (with Juhmp, project photos still come from you)
  • Making every change, big or small
  • The search basics, like page titles and schema
  • Keeping your business facts the same everywhere
  • Checking what AI tools say about you
  • Setting up redirects if you ever move your site

What Juhmp does instead

  1. 1You email your AI employee what you want.
  2. 2It writes back with the plan.
  3. 3You reply APPROVE.
  4. 4It builds the change on a preview.
  5. 5You look it over and reply APPROVE again to publish.

Page edits on up to 10 existing pages per request (up to 3 requests a business day under fair use). Hosting and security updates, included.

On the Grow plan, you also get SEO and AI-search work on your existing pages each month, with a plain-English SEO email, and up to 2 AI-suggested SEO pages a month at no extra charge, built only after you APPROVE. We can't control what Google or AI tools show, and we don't promise rankings.

When DIY is the better choice

DIY is likely the better fit if:

  • Your budget is tight right now.
  • You enjoy editing your own site.
  • Your site is very simple.
  • You need an online store. We don't build stores.

Moving off a builder

If you're on a builder now, we rebuild your current site, move your content over and set up redirects so your old links point to the new pages, as long as your domain moves with you. More on switching →

Questions

Can you move my site off Wix or Squarespace?

Yes. We rebuild your site, move your content over and set up redirects for your old links, as long as your domain moves with you.

Will I lose my Google history?

We set up redirects so your old page addresses point to the new pages. We can't promise how Google ranks the new pages.

Who owns the domain?

You do. Your domain and Google accounts stay in your name.

Is it cheaper to do it myself?

Often, in dollars. The trade is your time. Juhmp plans start at $149 a month plus a one-time setup fee.

Do you build online stores?

No. We don't build online stores, run ads or post to social media.

Wix, Squarespace and GoDaddy are trademarks of their owners. Juhmp isn't affiliated with them.
