SECTION_01 // WIX VS PROFESSIONAL WEBSITE
Why Wix is costing your business more than you think
Wix looks cheap upfront. But between monthly fees, poor SEO, slow speeds, and the fact you never own your site — it's one of the most expensive mistakes a small business can make. Here's the honest comparison.

4 ways Wix is holding your business back
You're paying forever
Wix plans start at £17/month. Over 3 years that's over £600 — for a site you don't even own. An OWD website from £60 is yours outright with no recurring fees.
Wix sites rank poorly on Google
Wix generates bloated code that loads slowly — and page speed is a direct Google ranking factor. Their sites consistently score poorly on Core Web Vitals, meaning Google actively deprioritises them.
You're invisible on mobile
Wix's mobile editor is a separate, limited interface that often produces poor results. Our websites are built mobile-first by default — not as an afterthought.
Template syndrome
Wix has millions of users on hundreds of templates. Your brand blends into the noise. A bespoke website makes you instantly distinguishable — and memorable.

SECTION_04 // THE REAL COST COMPARISON
The numbers don't lie
WIX (3 YEARS)
£600–£1,260
£17–£35/month × 36 months. You still don't own the site.
WIX (5 YEARS)
£1,020–£2,100
£17–£35/month × 60 months. Still renting. Still not yours.
OWD WEBSITE
£60–£300
One-off cost. Yours forever. Better SEO. Better design.

Should you switch from Wix to a professional website?
Wix is a fine tool for hobbyists who want to put something online quickly. But for businesses that rely on Google search, professional credibility, and performance — Wix consistently falls short.
The SEO limitations alone are significant. Wix generates code that Google's crawlers struggle with, page speeds that drag your rankings down, and limited structured data options. An OWD website is built clean, fast, and SEO-first from the very first line of code.
Then there's the ownership issue. With Wix, you're renting your website. If you ever want to leave, you have to start from scratch — because Wix doesn't let you export your site. With a professional OWD website, you own everything outright. No platform lock-in, no escalating fees, no surprises.
If you're currently on Wix and wondering why you're not ranking on Google — this is almost certainly why. A professional website redesign from OWD typically costs less than one year of Wix subscription fees, and the results speak for themselves.
We also offer the same comparison against Squarespace, GoDaddy Website Builder, and other website builders — all of which share similar limitations when it comes to professional business use.
