01  Sound familiar?

Is your Wix site holding you back?

If any of these sound like your site, they’re fixable without leaving Wix. Here’s how.

01

“My Wix site looks like a template.”

How we fix itWe design custom layouts in Wix or Wix Studio, so the site looks like your business and not like the theme you started from.

02

“It’s slow, especially on a phone.”

How we fix itMost slow Wix sites have too many apps, heavy images and animations. We compress images, remove the apps you don’t use and design the mobile layout separately.

03

“I don’t show up on Google.”

How we fix itWix handles the technical basics well. Rankings come from good content, local SEO and reviews, which we set up along with your SEO settings, structured data and redirects.

04

“I wait on someone for every small change.”

How we fix itWix is built for editing yourself. A training session shows you how to change text, photos and pages, and you get 30 days of support after launch.

02  What you get

Everything a small business site needs, on Wix

A fixed list, agreed before we start. A typical Wix site includes all of this.

Custom design, not a template reskin

You see your homepage design, on desktop and mobile, before we build. Two rounds of changes are included.

A site you can edit yourself

Change text, photos and prices in the Wix editor, without waiting on a developer.

Wix Studio for advanced layouts

Advanced layouts and animations where they help, never where they slow the page down.

Bookings, Stores, Events or Members

Whichever Wix apps your business needs, set up and tested.

SEO settings and structured data

Titles, descriptions, structured data and redirects, set up page by page.

Speed tuning

Compressed images and fewer apps, so pages load quickly on mobile data.

A separate mobile layout

Designed for a phone on its own, not just the desktop layout squeezed down.

Training and 30 days of support

A session on editing your site, then 30 days of free support.

03  How we work

Three things we do differently

Wix projects usually go wrong in three places: the site looks like a template, it’s slow on a phone, and the owner doesn’t know how to change it. Here’s how we handle each one.

Design first

You approve the design before we build anything

You get your homepage designed for desktop and mobile first. Two rounds of changes are included, and we only start building in Wix once you say yes.

Homepage designed before the build

Two rounds of changes included

Mobile layout designed separately

Built for speed

Fast on a phone, within what Wix allows

Wix runs the servers, so speed comes down to what’s on the page. We compress every image, keep apps to the ones you use and avoid heavy animations.

Images compressed and sized for mobile

Only the apps you use

Lighter fonts and simpler mobile layouts

Yours to keep

The site stays in your Wix account

We build inside your own Wix account, so the site, the domain and the billing are yours from day one. If you ever leave us, nothing has to move.

04  Price

A fixed price, agreed before we start

You pay us once for the design and build. Wix Premium, which connects your domain and removes Wix ads, is paid to Wix.

Where we’re not the best fit

If you want to meet in person every week, or you need someone on site, a local agency is the better choice. And if you have the time and a simple site in mind, building it yourself in Wix can be enough.

09  Is it right for you?

Who Wix is for, and who it isn’t

Wix isn’t the right answer for everyone. Here’s how to tell before you spend a dollar.

A good fit if you…

Want to edit everything yourself without touching code or plugins.

Need booking, a small store, events or a members’ area built in.

Want one bill for hosting, security and the editor.

Already have a Wix site that needs to look custom and load faster.

Probably not a fit if you…

Plan to publish a lot of content and grow on Google. WordPress gives you more room.

Mainly sell products. A Shopify store is built for that.

Want a design-led site with almost no upkeep. Squarespace may suit you better.

Need custom software, like a portal or a quote calculator. That’s a custom web app.
