Nonprofit Website Redesign Guide 2026: True Costs by Tier (Updated for Small, Mid, and Enterprise Nonprofits)

TL;DR / Key Takeaways

• A nonprofit website redesign is a strategic rebuild of an organization's site — design, content, and the systems behind it — aimed at improving donor experience and conversions, not just appearance.
• In 2026 a nonprofit website redesign typically costs between $15K and $250K+, with the actual price driven by scope, integrations, and the size of the nonprofit — not by the word "redesign."
• Small nonprofits (under ~$50K annual web budget) can complete a focused, donor-ready redesign for $15K–$50K using a productized agency offer like Fifty and Fifty's Habitat.
• Mid-sized nonprofits typically invest $50K–$100K for a custom redesign with brand strategy, a CMS, and 1–2 system integrations.
• Enterprise nonprofits, foundations, and global NGOs typically invest $100K+ for multi-stakeholder builds with multilingual UX, accessibility certification, and full CRM/marketing-automation integration.
• Across every tier, the return comes from donor experience, not aesthetics: Fifty and Fifty's San Diego Foundation redesign delivered +41% conversions, and TUMO campaign infrastructure has raised $19M+ globally.
• Most nonprofits should redesign every 3–5 years, but should fix urgent issues — mobile failure, security, accessibility — immediately, regardless of timeline.

Most nonprofit cost guides answer the wrong question

Most nonprofit website cost guides answer the wrong question. They hand you a range — $10K to $200K — and call it an answer. But a range that wide isn't a price. It's a shrug.

Here's why it happens: a website isn't one thing. Any time you put a number on a site, it's hard to say anything but "it depends" — because the same word covers a single landing page and a thousand-page platform running donation processing, CRM syncs, and content in five languages. Twenty different deliverables, one label.

So the useful question isn't what does a nonprofit website redesign cost? It's what should a redesign cost for an organization like mine? That's a tier question, not a range question. Below, we break nonprofit redesigns into three tiers — small, mid, and enterprise — and show what each one actually buys, with real numbers and real outcomes inside each. Find the tier that sounds like your organization, and you'll have a budget you can defend to your board.

Why Nonprofits Redesign Their Websites in 2026

A nonprofit website redesign is much more than just a fresh coat of paint. It's an opportunity to align your online presence with your mission, remove friction from the donor journey, and adopt modern web practices that drive real results. Here's why a redesign may be the best investment your nonprofit makes this year.

1. Improved Donor Engagement & Trust

Would you donate to an organization whose website looks like it hasn't been updated since 2010? Probably not — and your potential donors feel the same way.

• Outdated design = lost donations. According to Zippia, 75% of a company's credibility is based on website design. If your site looks outdated, slow, or hard to navigate, visitors may question your legitimacy before they read a word about your mission. A modern, visually compelling design reassures visitors that your organization is active and trustworthy, and makes them more likely to donate, subscribe, or volunteer.
• Security matters more than ever. If your website lacks HTTPS encryption, runs outdated software, or experiences frequent downtime, it sends red flags to potential donors — and can get you blacklisted by search engines. A redesign keeps your site secure, current, and compliant with modern security standards.

2. Increase Donations & Conversions

Your website should function as a 24/7 fundraising tool — not a digital brochure. If visitors struggle to find your donation page, understand your impact, or trust your payment processing, you're leaving money on the table.

Optimized donation flows drive more giving. A well-structured, distraction-free donation page can move conversion rates substantially. Nonprofits that streamline giving — fewer steps, digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay — see higher completion rates. The Barstool Fund, launched during the COVID-19 pandemic to support struggling small businesses, needed exactly this. In partnership with Donately, it built a donation platform optimized for experience and conversion, with a simple intuitive form, recurring giving, mobile-friendly design, and Apple Pay / Google Pay. The result: over $41 million raised, helping 443 small businesses survive.

Pro tip: Use suggested donation amounts to encourage larger gifts.  Set your anchor amounts to clean figures like $50, $100, or $250. Donors use these numbers as mental benchmarks. [1]

3. Improve Accessibility & Inclusivity

Nonprofits serve diverse communities, and your website should reflect that by being usable by everyone — including people with disabilities.

• The scale is enormous. The World Health Organization estimates 1.3 billion people (16% of the world) experience significant disability, and the CDC reports that 28% of U.S. adults — roughly one in four — have a disability.
• Most nonprofit sites fail. Industry research (Kanopi/AFP) finds that roughly 96.8% of nonprofit homepages have accessibility failures — so meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is both an inclusion win and a competitive one.
• It's a legal risk too. Lawsuits over non-compliant sites are rising, with major organizations facing action for failing accessibility standards.

To make your nonprofit website more accessible, focus on:

• Alt text for images — helps screen-reader users.
• Keyboard navigation — lets users navigate without a mouse.
• High-contrast colors — improves readability for low-vision users.
• Captioned videos — provides access for hearing-impaired users.

4. Enhance User Experience (UX) & Mobile Responsiveness

A frustrating website experience costs you engagement. If visitors can't find information or navigate easily, they leave — often for good. A better user experience can lift conversion dramatically (Kanopi/AFP cite improvements of up to 400%).

Clear, consistent navigation. Simplify menu structures with concise labels, keep them consistent across pages, and use familiar terms instead of jargon.

Intuitive user flow. Structure content from general to detailed, and follow the "three-click rule" so users reach any page within three clicks.

Orientation and wayfinding. Use breadcrumbs to show users where they are, and highlight the active page in the menu.

Mobile is non-negotiable. Over 60% of global web traffic comes from mobile devices, yet many nonprofit sites still aren't optimized for it. A mobile-friendly redesign adapts layouts dynamically, ensures fast load times — 53% of mobile sites are abandoned if they take more than 3 seconds to load — and provides easy tap-to-donate buttons.

5. Strengthen Storytelling & Mission Impact

People donate when emotion and logic align — compelling stories inspire them, and clear impact reinforces the decision. A well-crafted redesign helps you use real stories and testimonials, highlight before-and-after visuals, and incorporate short, engaging videos (which can increase conversions by 86%).

Compassion International, a nonprofit focused on child sponsorship and poverty alleviation, deepened donor engagement by sharing the real journeys of the children and families it serves — like Wendy's Story, a young girl managing Type 1 Diabetes with Compassion's support — featured prominently with heartfelt narrative, emotional visuals, and direct donor-impact insight.

Best practices: place impactful images and personal stories on key pages, keep copy concise and emotionally compelling, and use data-driven storytelling (e.g., "Your $25 provides meals for a family of four").

6. Higher Conversion Rates

Clear calls-to-action, easy donation forms, and intuitive navigation increase conversions. Harmony Academy, a National University curriculum program for teachers , needed a site that communicated its mission while increasing engagement and donor conversions. Partnering with Fifty and Fifty, it saw a 76% lower cost per registration, 2–3x conversion rates, and a 31% total cost reduction — with strategically placed CTAs driving higher donation levels and extending its programs to more local schools.

How often should a nonprofit redesign? Every 3–5 years

Most nonprofits should plan a full redesign every 3–5 years to keep pace with mobile usability, accessibility standards, and donor expectations. The 2023 Nonprofit Tech for Good Report found that 68% of nonprofits had redesigned within the previous three years. Outside that cadence, redesigns are also triggered by major brand shifts, urgent accessibility gaps, or repeated drops in donor conversion — which should be fixed immediately, regardless of the calendar.

What a Nonprofit Website Redesign Actually Costs in 2026

A redesign's price is driven by scope, not by the word "redesign." The biggest cost levers are how many pages you're migrating, how many systems the site has to talk to, and whether you're rebuilding the brand along with the site. The three tiers below map those levers to a price band and, more importantly, to the kind of organization that usually lands in each.

Cost Comparison: All Three Tiers at a Glance

Note: the $15K–$50K small-tier figure is for a complete site. If you only need a microsite (2–3 pages) or a single landing page, that can start around $5K — see the honest limit below.

Small-Tier Redesign: $15K–$50K

This is the entry tier, and it's the one the market serves worst. Squarespace and Wix listicles own the conversation below $15K, and full custom agencies start above it — so the nonprofit that wants something better than a template but can't justify a $60K build gets left in the gap.

That gap is exactly why we built Habitat: a nonprofit website builder with fundraising built in. It runs on Webflow — one of the strongest web platforms going — and integrates directly with Donately for donations, so an organization gets content management and a fundraising engine in one place instead of stitching two systems together. (Full disclosure: Donately and Fifty and Fifty share a founder, so we're not a neutral party on that integration — but it's also why it works as tightly as it does. More on Donately's fundraising features.)

What the tier buys: a holistic 5–10 page site, a mobile-first build, the integrations a small org actually uses — fundraising, events — and a WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility baseline. The goal is a site that becomes the backbone of an organization's online presence at a fraction of what that used to cost.

Honest limit — when a smaller spend is the right call. A full site can't be done well for under $15K. Anyone quoting a complete redesign at $5K is selling you a template with a markup. But if that's your budget, you're not out of options — a focused microsite (2–3 pages) or a single landing page can start around $5K on Habitat, and we'd rather build that than pad a number to call it a "full site." Start with what the budget actually supports, then grow into the rest.

After launch, the proof shows up in engagement depth — and Habitat isn't only for tiny organizations; what sets the tier is need, not name.

• Mulago Foundation runs on Habitat. Year over year, its organic-search engagement rate climbed to 59.2% (from 55.8%), referral traffic rose 41%, and its /how-we-fund page saw sessions jump 148%.
• Susan Wojcicki Foundation launched a brand-new site on Habitat. Across the first ~5 months of 2026 it drew about 9,800 sessions, with visitors averaging just over a minute of engaged time per session and acquisition spread across direct, Instagram, organic search, and LinkedIn — strong early traction for a domain with no prior history.

(Source: Google Analytics 4. Mulago figures are year-over-year, Oct 2025–Jan 2026 vs. the same window the prior year; Susan Wojcicki Foundation figures are launch traction with no prior-period comparison.)

Mid-Tier Redesign: $50K–$100K

Once you cross $50K, the work changes character. The technology gets more complex — you're integrating to real tools like Salesforce or HubSpot, not just a donation button. The analytics get more serious: GA4, Tag Manager, conversion funnels you can actually read.

And usually you're migrating off an older site, which means an SEO and AEO audit before anything moves, so you preserve the search authority and entity footprint you've already earned instead of resetting it to zero on launch day. (That migration step is the one most agencies skip and most nonprofits don't find out about until their traffic drops.) You've got more pages, a bigger site architecture, and real donor journeys to map — so the level of effort steps up across the board.

This is where a custom Webflow build earns its cost: enough structure to support multiple audiences and active campaign work, without the maintenance overhead that sinks a small team.

The payoff from a mid-tier rebuild shows up in how deeply people engage, not just how many show up. After STEM Next Opportunity Fund's redesign, organic-search visitors spent 31% longer per session (up from 39 to 52 seconds) and triggered 25% more events per session, while email-driven engagement time more than doubled (+164%) and referral traffic grew 70%.

(Source: Google Analytics 4, comparing roughly the 90 days after the October 2025 relaunch with the 90 days before. The before/after window carries a normal seasonal shift, so we lead with the engagement-quality gains — the cleanest signal of the redesign itself.)

Enterprise-Tier Redesign: $100K+

At this scale it's rarely just a website. Enterprise projects mean massive sites, massive amounts of content to migrate and update, and complex integrations where data has to stay synced across multiple platforms. Often you're consolidating a tangle of separate projects, or working with proprietary technology that isn't well documented — which means real custom code, not configuration. The largest global builds run to $250K and beyond.

And organizations thinking at this level are usually thinking holistically: brand and brand messaging, frequently a full visual overhaul, then carrying that identity into the site and into the marketing rhythms around it. The website stops being a standalone deliverable and becomes one set of touchpoints inside a larger digital ecosystem. That's why enterprise work pairs a custom build with Engagement OS — a long-term strategic partnership that continues past launch, instead of a project that ends the day the site goes live.

What that scope produces, in practice:

• TUMO — campaign infrastructure that has raised $19M+ globally and funded 50+ regional education hubs.
• UNEP World Environment Day — 5M+ global impressions, 3,000+ events across 155 countries.
• San Diego Foundation — a 41% lift in conversions after the redesign.

Generic agency pricing pages stop at "contact us for enterprise." This is the scope and the outcomes that actually sit behind the number.

What's Included in a Nonprofit Website Redesign

A website redesign is made up of several components — discovery, design, content, development, SEO, accessibility, and integrations — and each one affects the budget. Here's how the work breaks down, and roughly where the money goes.

Discovery & Strategy ($2,000 – $10,000+)

Discovery makes sure the redesign is aligned with your mission, audience, and goals. It typically includes stakeholder interviews, competitive analysis, user research and testing, and information-architecture planning. Cost scales with research depth (surveys, heatmaps, A/B testing), the number of stakeholder workshops, and whether existing analytics can be leveraged.

• Discovery typically accounts for ~10–15% of total redesign budget. Basic discovery runs $2,000–$4,000; in-depth strategy and user research runs $5,000–$10,000+.

Design & Branding ($3,000 – $20,000+)

A visually compelling, user-friendly design drives engagement, credibility, and conversions: wireframing and UX/UI for key pages, custom graphics and branding, and mobile-first responsive design. Cost depends on the number of templates, the extent of custom design vs. pre-made templates, and how much branding work is required. Basic template-based design runs $3,000–$6,000; custom design with advanced UX runs $10,000–$20,000+ — often the single largest line item in a redesign.

Content Strategy, Copywriting & Migration ($2,000 – $15,000+)

Content matters as much as design — without clear, compelling copy, visitors don't act. This covers content inventory and audit, SEO-optimized copywriting, and migration of text, images, and media. Cost depends on how much new content is created vs. repurposed, whether SEO and keyword research are required, and migration complexity. Content audit and light editing runs $2,000–$5,000; full content strategy + copywriting $6,000–$12,000+; large-scale migration $3,000–$15,000.

Development & Custom Features ($5,000 – $40,000+)

This brings design and content to life: custom development of key pages and templates, donation-platform integration, CRM and email integrations (Salesforce, Mailchimp, and others), and event/volunteer tools. Cost depends on the number of custom features and integrations, the platform (WordPress, Webflow, custom CMS), and the depth of back-end work. A basic build runs $5,000–$12,000; feature-heavy development $15,000–$40,000+.

SEO & Analytics Tracking ($1,500 – $8,000)

A beautiful website is useless if no one finds it. This includes technical SEO (page speed, mobile usability, metadata, site architecture, crawlability, internal linking, schema), content optimization and keyword research, and advanced analytics setup (GA4, Tag Manager, UTM tracking, donor conversion funnels). Basic setup runs $1,500–$3,000; a comprehensive SEO + analytics strategy $5,000–$8,000.

Accessibility & Compliance ($2,000 – $10,000)

A truly inclusive site is usable by everyone: ADA and WCAG compliance audits, screen-reader and keyboard-navigation support, and color-contrast and font adjustments. Cost depends on the level of compliance required (basic fixes vs. full WCAG 2.1 AA) and integration complexity. Basic enhancements run $2,000–$5,000; full ADA compliance and audits $7,000–$10,000.

Ongoing Website Maintenance & Support ($100 – $2,500/month)

Once live, regular maintenance keeps the site secure and current: hosting and security, regular updates and bug fixes, and fresh content and SEO adjustments. Basic hosting and security runs $100–$300/month; ongoing content and SEO updates $500–$1,500/month; full-service web management $2,500/month+.

Hidden Costs to Plan For

The redesign quote isn't the whole picture. Budget for these so they don't surprise you later:

• Scope creep and extended timelines. A "quick addition" mid-build pushes the timeline, and a longer timeline costs money on both sides.
• Content help. Organizations consistently underestimate how much content a new site demands. When the writing, editing, or restructuring stalls, the project stalls with it — and teams often need us to step in to write or fix content.
• Asset procurement. A site with a lot of new pages needs a lot to fill them: photography, illustration, video, icons.
• Third-party accessibility testing. Optional, but real. If you want independent WCAG verification rather than an internal audit, that's a separate line item.
• Internal staff time. The cost that never makes the budget: your own team's hours in discovery, content gathering, reviews, and approvals.

Before you spend — check for grants. Some redesign costs can be offset. Look into Google.org impact grants and community-foundation technology funds before you commit the full budget — nonprofits regularly leave this money on the table.

Budget Examples for Different Nonprofits

How Technology Choices Impact Website Redesign Costs

One of the biggest factors in redesign cost is the underlying technology — specifically whether you choose an open-source or proprietary platform. Your choice affects initial cost, scalability, security, maintenance, and flexibility. Here's how different technologies impact your budget.

1. Open-Source Platforms (WordPress)

Best for nonprofits needing affordability and flexibility. Lower upfront costs (the software is free; you pay for hosting and development), highly customizable with thousands of themes and plugins, and a wide developer community that keeps maintenance costs down — though customization and security updates require some technical expertise. Basic WordPress site: $35,000–$50,000; custom site with integrations: $55,000–$80,000; complex platform with CRM and donation tools: $100,000+.

2. Proprietary Website Builders (Webflow)

Best for small nonprofits needing a quick, lower-code solution. Low upfront cost with subscription pricing, user-friendly editors, and hosting/security/updates handled for you — but with limited flexibility and scalability as needs grow. Webflow can allow for smaller projects in the $5,000 range; upgraded plans with ecommerce and donations $15,000–$20,000. Watch for higher donation transaction fees and more limited SEO and integrations. (Webflow outperforms Wix, Squarespace, and other no-code builders at the more capable end of this group and is what Fifty and Fifty builds on for nonprofits.)

3. Custom Proprietary CMS (HubSpot, Salesforce)

Best for large nonprofits with complex needs and high security requirements. Tailored to nonprofit functions (donor management, advocacy, event fundraising), enterprise-grade security and compliance, and often built-in CRM and marketing automation — but with high licensing and long-term costs and the risk of vendor lock-in. Setup and licensing run $30,000–$100,000+, with $5,000–$20,000/year for maintenance and support.

*Webflow scales and customizes well above typical drag-and-drop builders, which is why it anchors Fifty and Fifty's small- and mid-tier builds.

Small-Tier vs. Custom-Build Website Redesign

Choosing between a productized small-tier redesign and a fully custom build depends on your goals, technical needs, and long-term vision (more in our nonprofit budget plan guide). The comparison below shows which option fits which organization.

How to Choose the Right Tier for Your Nonprofit

Budget is one lever, but it's usually not the one that decides your tier. More often it's what the site actually needs to do. Three questions get most organizations to the right answer:

1. What does the site need to support? A credible presence is one thing. Active fundraising and campaigns are another. A multi-program, multi-audience ecosystem is a third. Be honest about which one you're actually running — not the one you aspire to.

2. Who's managing it, and do they want to? This is the question that surprises people. Some teams want a site that's up and operational so they can get back to their day jobs. Others want to run an active blog, run campaigns, and dig into analytics every week. Those are different builds. A beautiful CMS no one has time to update is wasted money; a too-simple site frustrates a team that wants to do more.

3. Is the real problem technology, UX, or content? Here's something we've learned the hard way: it's often not the technology. We've put much larger organizations onto simpler, less expensive tools because what they actually needed help with was the user experience or the content — not a heavier tech stack. Diagnose the real gap before you pay to over-build around it.

Answer those three and you've usually found not just your tier, but the right set of deliverables inside it.

A note on how we price it

Every tier starts the same way: an audit and a real understanding of what's being asked, client conversations to pressure-test our assumptions, then a custom proposal built off a budgeting template — almost an a-la-carte menu, so we can turn deliverables on and off instead of forcing you into a boxed solution. One client needs stakeholder interviews; another needs a third-party accessibility audit; another needs a heavy page migration. The proposal reflects the actual level of effort, not a guess.

We also build flexibility and budget buffers into the contract, because discovery always turns up something the proposal didn't anticipate — and we'd rather shift effort around than drag you through a change-order process.

Which is the real tell, honestly. A lot of agencies undercut, undersell, and then immediately jump into add-ons and fees once the work starts. That's not a pricing strategy — it's evidence there was no due diligence up front. A redesign you can budget for starts with a scope someone actually did the work to define.

When to Start Your Nonprofit Website Redesign

If you answer "yes" to any of the following, it's time to consider a redesign:

• Is your website more than 3–5 years old?
• Do visitors struggle to find information or donate easily?
• Does your site look outdated or unprofessional?
• Is it slow to load or not mobile-friendly?
• Are your engagement and donation rates declining?

Timing matters, too. Many nonprofits aim to relaunch ahead of year-end giving, when traffic and donation intent peak — which means starting a custom build months earlier, since mid- and enterprise-tier projects run 3–12 months from kickoff. And as a baseline cadence, plan a full redesign every 3–5 years, but fix urgent problems — mobile failure, security gaps, accessibility issues — the moment they appear, regardless of where you are in that cycle.

Your nonprofit deserves a website that drives real impact. Schedule a call with our team today to discuss how we can get you there.

Real-Life Examples of Successful Nonprofit Website Redesigns

1. The San Diego Foundation — Increased Conversions by 41%

The San Diego Foundation needed a site that better reflected its role as a community leader in philanthropy. Its previous site was cluttered and hard to navigate, with weak calls to action. Partnering with Fifty and Fifty, the foundation overhauled the site with refined UX, stronger brand storytelling, optimized donor and partner engagement, and improved accessibility and mobile responsiveness — achieving a 41% increase in conversion rate, a 31% improvement in email signups, and a 142% increase in lead generation on private foundations.

2. Kindness.org — Fueling Digital Growth

Kindness.org researches kindness and applies its findings to programs in schools, workplaces, and communities. As a newer nonprofit, it wanted to reach more people, expand programs, and find partners. With Fifty and Fifty, it built a site designed to get people excited about the power of kindness and engaged in kind acts — including education about its new Work Kind program.

3. BuildOn — Building a Better Narrative

BuildOn's mission is bold and unique, but communicating it was a challenge. With a new action model serving its mission to end the cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and low expectations, Fifty and Fifty was tasked with visually communicating its two-fold development of U.S. and international service and education.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a nonprofit website redesign cost in 2026?

A nonprofit website redesign in 2026 typically costs between $15K and $250K+, depending on the size of the nonprofit, scope of work, and required integrations. Small nonprofits (under ~$50K annual web budget) can complete a productized redesign for $15K–$50K. Mid-sized nonprofits typically invest $50K–$100K for a custom build. Enterprise nonprofits, foundations, and global NGOs typically invest $100K+ for multi-stakeholder builds with multilingual UX and accessibility certification.

How often should a nonprofit redesign its website?

Most nonprofits should plan a full redesign every 3–5 years to keep pace with mobile usability, accessibility standards, and donor expectations. The 2023 Nonprofit Tech for Good Report found that 68% of nonprofits had redesigned within the previous three years. Outside that cadence, redesigns are also triggered by major brand shifts, urgent accessibility gaps, or repeated drops in donor conversion.

What does a redesign cost for a small nonprofit specifically?

A small nonprofit with an annual web budget under ~$50K can complete a donor-ready redesign for $15K–$50K through a productized agency package such as Fifty and Fifty's Habitat. This typically covers a 5–10 page site, brand-aligned design, a mobile-first build, core fundraising and events integrations, and a WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility baseline.

What does a redesign cost for a mid-sized or enterprise nonprofit?

Mid-sized nonprofits typically invest $50K–$100K for a custom redesign with brand refresh, a CMS, and 1–2 integrations. Enterprise nonprofits, foundations, and global NGOs typically invest $100K+ for multi-site or multilingual architectures with multi-system integrations and ongoing strategic support.

What's the average cost of a nonprofit website redesign in San Diego?

For San Diego nonprofits, redesign costs follow the same tier structure as the national market: $15K–$50K for small organizations, $50K–$100K for mid-sized, and $100K+ for enterprise. Fifty and Fifty is a San Diego-based nonprofit digital agency that has delivered redesigns across all three tiers, including for the San Diego Foundation.

How long does a nonprofit website redesign take?

Timeline scales with scope. Small-tier productized redesigns typically take 6–12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Mid-tier custom builds take 3–6 months. Enterprise builds with multi-stakeholder discovery and multilingual UX typically run 8–12 months. The biggest timeline driver is content readiness, not design or development.

Should a nonprofit build on Webflow or WordPress?

Webflow includes hosting, SSL, and automatic updates in one subscription and gives non-technical teams a simple visual editor with strong design control — which is why Fifty and Fifty builds most nonprofit sites on it, and why the Habitat product runs on Webflow. WordPress is the better fit when an organization needs a specific plugin ecosystem, deep custom functionality, heavy-duty blogging, or already has in-house WordPress expertise — though it requires separately managed hosting and regular manual updates. The honest trade-off: Webflow gives you superior design and editing with less functional depth; WordPress gives you functional control with more maintenance to own.
