Drag and drop website builders can you up and running quickly and cheaply (although I can also get you up and running quickly, at a fair price) – they are inherently not accessible, have bad performance, can be more insecure, are less scalable and migratable, less search engine optimized, use cookie cutter designs not tailored for your business, offer sub-par customer support, among other things.
