| Time investment | 40-80 hours of your evenings over 1-3 months | One focused day plus a 30-min intake call |
| Design result | Templated (recognizable Squarespace defaults) | Custom to your specific business |
| Content writing | You do it | Built from your intake call |
| Ownership | You rent from Squarespace forever | You own everything from day one |
| Local SEO | Basic; you configure | OC-specific schema, local landing pages, city targeting |
| If you cancel | Site disappears | You keep the site; only ongoing Care Plan cancels |
