## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> # Best website builders for agencies
> 
> The right pick depends mostly on one thing: **do you want to hand sites off to clients, or keep them on your own platform and bill monthly?** That split drives my ranking.
> 
> **1. Webflow** - My default recommendation for agencies doing custom design work at a decent price point. Best-in-class CMS structure, real control over markup and technical SEO, localization, and a clean agency pattern where the *client* owns the Workspace and site plan while you're invited as a guest with Designer or Editor access - revocable in one click, no shared passwords or billing credentials. The tradeoff is a genuine learning curve and no white-labeling.
> 
> **2. Wix Studio** - The best answer to the handoff problem specifically. Purpose-built for agencies: a grid-based responsive system, CSS variables, custom animations, dev tools, plus a single dashboard to manage dozens of client sites and handle client billing transfers. Clients can edit content without wrecking the design, which saves you endless support tickets. Plans run roughly $17-19/mo up to Elite around $159/mo for more collaborators. Caveat: no white-labeling - Wix branding stays on the tools.
> 
> **3. Duda**
