I get asked this question all the time. Here’s my honest answer:
Wix: Easy to Start, Hard to Grow
Wix is great if you want a website up in an afternoon. It’s drag-and-drop, no coding, and everything is included. But that simplicity comes with trade-offs.
Wix sites are harder to optimise for SEO. They load slower than WordPress sites. And if you ever want to move platforms, you can’t export your content easily — you’re locked in.
For a very basic site that you’ll never want to expand? Wix works.
WordPress: More Work Upfront, Better Long-Term
WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet. It’s flexible, scalable, and you own everything — your content, your design, your data.
It has a steeper learning curve. But for a business that plans to grow, WordPress is the right foundation.
Which One Should You Choose?
Here’s my rule:
- Need a simple one-page site that will never change? Wix is fine.
- Planning to grow, add content, rank on Google, and own your online presence? Choose WordPress.
What I Use for Clients
I build every client site on WordPress. It gives you control, flexibility, and room to grow. Plus, I handle all the setup so you don’t have to learn anything.
