Site Squad vs Wix
Wix is a do-it-yourself builder: you pick a template, design it, write it and maintain it, from $17 a month on an annual plan. Site Squad builds, writes and runs the site for you for $99 a month, with the first draft free within 24 hours. The real difference is whose time goes into it.
| Wix | Site Squad | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $17 to $39 a month on an annual plan (Light, Core, Business); $159 for Business Elite | $99 a month, no setup fee |
| Time to launch | As long as you take; most owners spend 20 to 40 hours | First draft in 24 hours, live within days |
| Who does the work | You | Site Squad |
| Changes | You make them in the editor | You email them, done within hours, included |
| Ownership | Your account and content; the site cannot be moved off Wix | Built, hosted and maintained for you; your domain and content stay yours |
| Hosting | Included | Included, with backups and monitoring |
| SEO basics | Available if you set them up | Done for you on every page |
| Best for | Owners who enjoy building and will keep at it | Owners who want it done and never want to think about it |
Choose Wix if
- You like designing and have the hours.
- You want to change things yourself at midnight without asking anyone.
- You need a large online store with Wix apps and inventory.
- Budget matters more than your time.
Choose Site Squad if
- You want a professional site without doing the work.
- You want it this week, not this quarter.
- You would rather email a person than learn an editor.
- You want to see the finished site before paying.
Verdict
Wix is cheaper in cash and more expensive in your time, and the result looks like a template because it is one. Site Squad costs more per month and gives you back the hours, a site built for your business, and a draft you can judge before paying. If you have the time and like the work, Wix is a fair choice.
What it costs and how fast it is
Answer a short quiz. Within 24 hours a first draft of your website is ready to look at on your phone or computer. If you love it, it is $99 a month, with hosting, changes and support included. If you do not, you pay nothing.
