If you’re starting a business or trying to keep costs low, Wix can look like a pretty good option. Pick a template, drag a few things around, add your logo, and you’ve got a website. At least, that’s the idea.
For some businesses, DIY website builders work just fine. But as your business grows, you may start realizing that building your own website is a little more complicated and a lot more time-consuming than you expected. If you’re tired of DIY website builders, it may be time to consider a done-for-you option instead.
Like other DIY website builders, Wix is designed to give you control. You can choose a template, edit your pages, change your content, and manage most of the website yourself.
That can be useful when you’re just getting started and have more time than budget. If you enjoy working on your website and feel comfortable handling the technical side of things, Wix may be all you need. The problem is that “do it yourself” eventually means exactly that.
You’re responsible for making the site look professional, organizing the content, optimizing it for mobile devices, handling updates, figuring out SEO basics, and troubleshooting problems when something doesn’t work. And for a growing business owner, those hours can get expensive quickly.
Moreover, Wix is not structured for SEO, which means that your ability to rank well in Google and other search engines will be hindered. Their backend code is designed for the benefit of their business, not yours. If all you need is a digital brochure, something online that people can reference to validate your professionalism or reputation, that may be fine. But don’t expect people to find you easily through search.
A done-for-you website takes the website project off your plate. Instead of spending your evenings adjusting fonts, resizing images, or trying to figure out why something looks strange on your phone, you have a professional team handling the website for you.
At Modular Orange, that’s the entire idea. We build, manage, host, and support your website so you can spend your time actually running your business. You still have input and control over what goes on the site, you just don’t have to be the person building or maintaining it. For businesses searching for an alternative to Wix, this can be a much better fit.
Traditionally, yes. Hiring a web design agency can mean spending thousands of dollars upfront before your website even launches. That’s one reason so many small businesses turn to DIY website builders in the first place. However, Modular Orange was built to offer another option: an affordable business website that’s professionally designed without the traditional agency price tag.
Rather than asking you to become a web designer, we give you a professional website and a team to help manage it — for just $95/mo.
It really comes down to what you want to spend: your money or your time. Wix can make sense if you genuinely want to build and manage your own website. But if your business is growing and your time is better spent serving customers, making sales, managing employees, or planning what comes next, a done-for-you website can be a much smarter investment.
Your website should help make running your business easier, not become another item on your to-do list. If you’re ready to stop doing everything yourself, Modular Orange can help. Get in touch with us today!
