Where Traditional Web Agency wins
- Complex custom functionality — bespoke booking systems, client portals, custom database integration — agencies have the development depth.
- If your brand requires genuinely bespoke design, a mid-to-large agency with a strong creative team can produce something SEOJack doesn't attempt.
- For large organisations with procurement processes and the budget to match, a proper agency engagement is appropriate.
Where SEOJack wins
- Most small businesses do not need custom functionality. A clear, fast, SEO-ready site serves 90% of them better than a bespoke one — at a fraction of the cost.
- 6–16 weeks is a long time to wait for a website. A lot can change. SEOJack gets you live in 5 days.
- Agency support contracts are often expensive and slow. A question about your site becomes a ticket. With SEOJack, it's a message.
- The total cost of an agency build — deposit, annual hosting, edit rate, support contract — often exceeds £10,000 over three years. SEOJack's equivalent is £3,204.
When you should pick Traditional Web Agency
Your project requires genuinely custom development — a client portal, complex integrations, a booking system built from scratch, or enterprise-level bespoke requirements. Or your budget and brand position demands a top-tier agency build.
