How Much Does It Cost To Create A Website Builder? (In 2024)

"We did not raise the money and financed the development at our own costs. Our projection was - to build the product during the first year and reach the break-even point in the second. We hired CTO first who selected the stack of technologies, then we hired three independeте consultants to get second opinion, third opinion and fourth opinion too. The right choice of technology plays vital part in this kind of business success or failure."

So there was no startup capital to speak of. I simply did a lot of hard work, and any time I made a profit, we reinvested it all back into the business. In the early days, I took no wage, later I took a small wage, and it was probably around nine years into the business and two years after Kat and I became 50/50 shares in the business that we both finally started to pay ourselves the sort of wage we could command if we went out into the workforce."
