Common questions
a Web Designer vs LawnEngine FAQ
Will a custom-designed site look better than LawnEngine?
A good designer can create something unique, but most lawn care customers care more about clear services, pricing, and easy contact than artistic design. LawnEngine sites are clean, professional, and optimized to convert visitors into leads.
What about Fiverr or cheap freelancers?
Budget designers ($100–500) often deliver template sites with communication challenges and no ongoing support. You'll likely need revisions, and updates become your problem. LawnEngine gives you a complete, maintained site you control.
When does hiring a designer make sense?
If you're an established company with a large budget and very specific branding needs, a designer might be worth it. For most lawn care pros, especially those starting out or growing, LawnEngine delivers better value and faster results.
Can I switch to LawnEngine if I already paid for a custom site?
Yes. Many customers switch when they realize maintaining a custom site costs too much. Just sign up, enter your business details, and your new LawnEngine site is ready. No migration needed — we generate everything fresh.
