open source CMS + pay for hosting + learning curve time = X
commercial product = (CMS - learning curve) + hosting = Y
if X > Y then buy the commercial product!
it will save you loads of time and time = money
For example:
Build a Website - Create a Blog - Squarespace
- the basic package is 8 USD; includes the hosting, the CMS, all the goodies- and that's alot cheaper than many hosting packages.
Look at the demo:
