Managed platform
When something breaks, you do not go looking for a developer
On WordPress and other open platforms, the host blames the plugin, the plugin blames the theme, and everyone tells you to hire someone. There is no one whose job it is to fix your site. Here there is exactly one, and fixing it is not a line item.
What is covered: anything that breaks on our side. The platform, the hosting, the code, the templates, security patches.
What is not: brand-new work such as a new integration, a new template, or a redesign, and outages at a vendor you own such as your registrar or your MLS feed. Those get scoped and quoted.
Where B12 wins

- Instant AI draftB12's AI generates a working draft site in minutes.
- Cheaper entry if you DIYAt $49 a month, B12's Basic plan undercuts WorkspaceCMS if you DIY the rest.

Looking for a B12 alternative?
People usually switch away from B12 over the $1,999 setup fee, generic AI-drafted copy, or ongoing plans that cost more than expected.
WorkspaceCMS runs the same done-for-you idea with no setup fee, a real human team on every update, and the work that gets you found on Google built in. Compare plans starting at $89 a month or browse the live demo sites.
If your B12 site is live, we rebuild it for free and take it over, domain, content, and reviews included, risk-free under the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Who WorkspaceCMS is for
WorkspaceCMS is built for local service businesses (dentists, HVAC companies, law firms, med spas, roofers, and the like) who want a professionally built site, no setup fee, no second job as editor.
If bundled invoicing tools matter most, B12 fits. If you want the site itself built, written, and updated by people, WorkspaceCMS does.

WorkspaceCMS vs B12: common questions
Is WorkspaceCMS cheaper than B12?
For a done-for-you website, usually yes. B12's professionally built option is a one-time $1,999 setup fee on top of monthly plans that run $49 to $399. WorkspaceCMS includes the professional build for free on every plan, with pricing at $89, $199, $449, or $749 a month flat. If you only want B12's cheapest DIY tier and will build the site yourself, B12's $49 a month is less, but then you do the designing, the writing, and the getting-found work yourself.
Can I move my B12 site to WorkspaceCMS?
Yes. We rebuild your site for free on WorkspaceCMS (your pages, content, and branding) and plan the switchover so visitors never notice. Your domain stays yours and your existing web addresses keep working through redirects we set up.
How is WorkspaceCMS different from B12's done-for-you option?
Both put professionals behind the build, but the models differ. B12 charges $1,999 up front for the build, then you largely operate the site through their AI editor and plans. WorkspaceCMS charges nothing for the build and keeps doing the work after launch: our team makes, edits, and publishes every update you ask for, on turnaround targets by plan.
Does WorkspaceCMS include scheduling and invoicing tools like B12?
Partly. WorkspaceCMS includes a form builder with email notifications on every plan, and appointment booking and scheduling on Growth and Premium, connected to Google Calendar or your own Calendly account. What we don't bundle is B12's broader back-office suite (invoicing, payments, and eSignatures), and if those are your priority, that's a real B12 strength. Most clients keep their existing invoicing tools and we link or embed them on the site.
Is there a contract with WorkspaceCMS?
Plans start with a 12-month commitment (that's what funds the free build), then go month-to-month. Essentials, Growth, and Premium include a 30-day money-back guarantee that starts the day we deliver your first design. On any plan, cancel before we deliver your first design and you get every dollar back, with no time limit.
Who owns my website content on WorkspaceCMS?
You do. Your content exports as JSON and your redirects as a CSV whenever you want them. Your domain, words, and images stay yours.
Who actually does the work to get you found on each platform?
On B12, the getting-found tools are built in and higher tiers add analytics and update requests, but the strategy mostly rides on their AI plus your input. WorkspaceCMS is built by 1Digital, an agency working since 2012 with 941+ verified reviews, and every site is built so Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT understand your business and can recommend you, maintained by the same team that builds it. On both platforms, ongoing growth campaigns (keyword strategy, content, link building) are a separate engagement; ours are run by 1Digital's strategy team.
Your B12 site is up, but can AI find it?
ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity only recommend sites they can read. Most small-business sites fail that test. Scan yours free and see exactly where you stand.
