Building your own website can be cost-effective, but requires time and effort. It's a trade-off between saving on contract costs vs. investing time in learning and designing, as well as the distraction of deep-diving into a realm that isn't your core strength. On the other hand, some people love to learn and try new things, and if that's you, then building a website on your own can be a great way to expand your knowledge and have some fun along the way!
