Grippy Code vs. Wix: build it yourself, or have it built?
Wix is a do-it-yourself website builder: you choose a template, write the words and keep the site updated. Grippy Code is done-for-you: our team designs, writes, builds, hosts and maintains it. You get a finished site live in 24 hours to 5 days, with $0 setup on monthly plans and none of your own hours spent building it.

WHY BUSINESSES SWITCH
When Grippy Code is the better fit
Switch to Grippy Code if…
- Your hours are worth more on the job than on a website
- You need the site live this week, not someday
- You want service pages, city pages and schema set up for local search
- You want us to handle the edits and fixes for you
Wix can suit you if…
- Your budget is a few hundred dollars a year
- You enjoy design and have 20 to 60 hours to build it well
- You want to change the site yourself, often
- You are testing an idea and happy to DIY for now
Wix vs. Grippy Code FAQ
Is Wix cheaper than Grippy Code?
On sticker price, yes. Wix paid plans start around $17 a month billed annually, versus $99 a month for our Landing plan (first 6 months billed upfront, $0 setup). The difference is labor: with Wix you design, write and maintain the site yourself; with us that work is included and you can be live in 24 hours. See pricing.
Can you rebuild my Wix site?
Yes. We rebuild it from scratch (we do not work inside your Wix account), reuse your text and photos where they still fit, and point your domain to the new site at launch. Keep your Wix plan until the new site is live. Get a quote to switch.
Who owns the website?
On Wix, your content is yours and the site runs on Wix’s platform. With us, your content is always yours and a rented site is licensed to you while your plan is active. Want to own it all? Buy once from $999 and the design, content and code are yours outright.
