Your options for a small business website

Wix is great if you’ll build it. We build it for you.

Wix gives you templates, an AI builder and every tool you need, from $17/mo billed yearly. The building, writing, SEO and Spanish are yours to do. Here is an honest look at when Wix is the right call, and when it isn’t.

Three ways people use Wix

Each one is a fair choice for someone. Here is the catch with each.

  • Build it yourself

    Light $17, Core $29 or Business $39 a month, billed yearly upfront. Huge flexibility, and every hour of building and upkeep is yours.

  • Start with Wix Harmony AI

    Wix’s AI builder, launched January 2026, drafts the site from a prompt. A fast start; the editing, SEO and updates are still on you.

  • Hire a Wix Partner

    Freelancers from the Wix Marketplace, gigs listed from $49 to $500 and up. You still end up on a site you can’t move off Wix.

Our difference

What changes when someone builds it for you

You answer questions. We write, build, launch and keep it current.

  1. A site you can take with you

    Wix says its sites can’t be hosted anywhere else; leaving means a rebuild. Ours is yours: the site, the files and the domain.

  2. Spanish written, not machine-translated

    Wix Multilingual auto-translates with word credits and doesn’t re-translate your edits. We write both languages by hand and keep them in step.

  3. Local SEO done, not just available

    Wix has a good SEO dashboard. We do the work in it: city pages, Google Business Profile, schema, and checking where you rank.

Us vs. the alternatives

Digital Vibes vs each Wix path

An honest read on who each one fits, and where we fit better.

Us vs. Wix on your own

Wix DIY: Best for hands-on owners who enjoy building

Wix is 2,000+ templates, drag-and-drop, bookings, stores, payments and a free plan to try it, with paid plans from $17/mo billed yearly and a 14-day money-back guarantee. It works best for owners who like building, have time to keep it updated, and want everything in one dashboard.

We are best for businesses that need:

  • A site written and built for you, live in 5 to 7 days
  • City pages and Google Business Profile set up and maintained
  • A site you own and can move, not one tied to a platform

Us vs. Wix Harmony AI

Wix Harmony: Best for a quick AI-drafted start

Wix Harmony is Wix’s AI builder, with an assistant called Aria that drafts pages from a prompt. It works best for people who want a working draft in minutes and are happy to edit, write and optimize it themselves after.

We are best for businesses that need:

  • Copy about your real services, towns and reviews, written by a person
  • Spanish pages written by people who live here
  • Someone who updates it when your business changes

Us vs. a hired Wix Partner

Wix Partners: Best for a custom look while staying on Wix

The Wix Marketplace lists professional designers with gigs from $49 to $500 and up, who usually reply within a business day. It works best for owners who want help with the design but plan to stay on Wix and edit it themselves.

We are best for businesses that need:

  • Fixed, published prices: $59/mo or $950 once
  • A build you can take to any host, with the domain in your name
  • Ongoing local SEO from the same person who built it

FAQs

What people ask us before switching from Wix.

Can I move my Wix site to Digital Vibes?

Your content, yes. The site itself, no: Wix says its sites can’t be hosted elsewhere because they run on Wix’s own technology. So we rebuild it, reusing your text, photos and contacts (Wix lets you export contacts), and point your domain at the new site.

Can I keep my domain if I bought it through Wix?

Yes. Wix lets you transfer a domain away. We walk you through it, or connect the domain to the new site first and transfer later. Note that Wix domains are not covered by its 14-day refund.

When should I cancel my Wix plan?

After the new site is live and your domain points at it. Cancelling turns off auto-renewal and your plan runs to the end of the billing cycle. Wix only refunds within 14 days of a first purchase, so renewals aren’t refunded.

Is Wix good for SEO?

Wix’s SEO tools are good now: a setup checklist, structured data, and Search Console connections. The difference is who does the work. Ranking locally takes city pages, a maintained Google Business Profile and fresh content, every month.

Why are you more per month than Wix?

Wix charges for the software and you do the work. Starter Presence at $59/mo includes us building and updating the site in English and Spanish, with no contract. Local Pro is $950 once, then $350/year.

Where the Wix details come from (checked October 13, 2026)

Wix is a trademark of its owner. This is our comparison, not an endorsement by or affiliation with Wix. Prices and terms change; check theirs before you decide.

The ask

Not sure it’s worth it over doing it yourself?

Send us your Wix site. We will tell you what is holding it back on Google and what a rebuild would change, free.

What happens after you send it

  1. 1 Roberto reads it himself and replies within one business day. No sales team, no sequence.
  2. 2 You get a short written answer: what switching costs, what you keep, and how long it takes.
  3. 3 If it makes sense, a 30-minute call. If staying put is the better call, we will say so.
