* The average website is about 40MB, and the average page is between 2 and 3MB. Story Tappy allows 500MB for your site, which is more than enough for most sites. The bigger the site, the slower it will be to load, and impacts on search engine optimisation (SEO) results. You can read more about page sizes and SEO here.

** Depending on how you configure online payments (e.g. via Stripe, Paypal or another method), there may be extra costs charged by those payment providers. E.g. Stripe charges A$0.30 plus 1.7% on transactions by Australian cards. This is still favourable in comparison to most other eCommerce options.

More Details

Although Wix, Squarespace and Shopify do not charge an initial installation fee, their ongoing fees are much higher than ours. Also, our initial set up fee includes important time setting things up like a menu structure, pages and template.

The other advantage of StoryTappy is that we run on WordPress. That means that if you decide to part ways with us later, in theory, you could recreate your website on any other WordPress installation - though you would not benefit from our ongoing maintenance, economies of scale (for both hosting and premium plug-ins) and set up. This is in contrast to Wix and Squarespace, where you are locked into their individual ecosystems with regards to templates and design tools. WordPress is far more flexible in every way. There is a reason why half of the world's websites are powered by it.

Let's go.
