Wix vs TheGoodSite: which is right for your business?
Wix is a do-it-yourself website builder: you pick a template, write your own copy, and pay $17 to $159 a month to keep it online, forever. TheGoodSite is done-for-you: we design and write the whole site, deliver it in 30 days for a flat $7,500, and you own everything with no monthly rent required. Wix fits people who have time to build it themselves. We fit owners who would rather run their business.
Free audit. 30 seconds. No account required.
The real Wix cost is not the monthly fee, it is your time. Someone has to choose the layout, write every word, source the photos, set up the SEO, and keep it current. On Wix that someone is you. For a busy owner, the hours add up to far more than the subscription, and the result usually looks like a template because it is one.
Ownership is the other quiet catch. A Wix site lives on Wix. You cannot export it and move it to another host, so if their prices rise or you outgrow the platform, you start over from scratch. Everything we build is yours: the code, the domain, and the content. If we vanished tomorrow, your site keeps running and your data comes with you.
Wix has added AI tools, but they help you build faster, not rank better. We structure every page so Google and the AI assistants your clients now ask can actually read and recommend you, which is where most template sites are invisible.
The honest version
Wix is the better choice if you want the lowest possible upfront cost, enjoy building things yourself, and have the time to write and maintain the site. If that is you, it is a capable tool. If you would rather hand it off and own the result, that is what we do.
Wix vs TheGoodSite: common questions
Is TheGoodSite a Wix template?
No. We build a custom site from scratch, designed and written for your business, not assembled from a Wix template. You own the code and can host it anywhere.
Can I move my Wix site to you?
Wix sites cannot be exported and rehosted, so we do not migrate the old site. We rebuild it properly, keeping what works about your content, and hand you a site you fully own.
Is Wix cheaper than TheGoodSite?
Wix is cheaper upfront and more expensive over time once you count your own hours plus years of subscription. We charge a flat $7,500 once, you own the result, and monthly care is optional, from $100 a month.
