Leave Wix Behind
Your business has outgrown Wix
Wix got you started. But the slow loading, template lock-in, and 'powered by Wix' branding are holding you back. We build a bespoke replacement that loads in under a second, looks genuinely professional, and belongs to you.
The Wix problems you already know about
Wix is the most popular starting point for small business websites, and understandably so — it's free to begin and the drag-and-drop editor is genuinely easy to use. No one should feel bad about starting there. The problem is what Wix costs your business once you need it to actually perform.
Performance is Wix's biggest weakness. Under the bonnet, Wix generates enormous amounts of JavaScript and bloated HTML. The result: Lighthouse scores typically between 20 and 40, page load times of 5-8 seconds on mobile, and a user experience that makes visitors hit the back button. Google uses speed as a ranking factor — a slow Wix site is fighting for rankings with one hand tied behind its back.
Then there's the lock-in. You cannot export a Wix website. Not the code, not the design, not even the content in a clean format. If you want to leave Wix, you start from scratch. That's not a limitation — it's a business model designed to keep you paying. And with Wix increasingly pushing AI upsells and premium features, the monthly cost keeps creeping up.
The professionalism gap is the hidden cost. Wix sites are recognisable — customers can tell. When your competitor has a fast, custom website and yours is a Wix template with a loading spinner, you've lost credibility before the comparison has even begun. For a business that takes pride in its work, that gap matters.
What Changes
Life after Wix
From Lighthouse 25 to 95+
Wix sites score 20-40 on Lighthouse. Our hand-coded builds score 95+. That's not incremental — it's a completely different league.
Complete ownership
You own every line of code, every design asset, every piece of content. Host anywhere, modify anything, leave anytime. No lock-in, ever.
Actually professional design
Not a template with your logo. A bespoke design built for your business, your brand, and your specific customers.
SEO that was impossible on Wix
Clean semantic HTML, proper structured data, server-rendered content, sub-second load times. The technical SEO foundations Wix makes physically impossible.
No more monthly platform fees
One investment, you own it. 12 months free hosting included. No Wix subscription, no premium feature upsells, no AI add-on charges.

Wix migration questions
Can I move my Wix website to a custom site?
Yes — though it's a rebuild rather than a transfer, since Wix doesn't allow code export. We manually migrate your content (text, images, pages), rebuild the design from scratch (better), and set up URL redirects. The end result is a dramatically better site with all your content intact.
Why does my Wix site load so slowly?
Wix generates massive amounts of JavaScript and injects tracking scripts, ad infrastructure, and framework overhead into every page. Even a simple five-page site can produce megabytes of code. Our hand-coded sites produce a fraction of that — which is why they load in under a second instead of 5-8 seconds.
How much does it cost to replace my Wix website?
Migrations start from £2,500 — the same as a new build. This includes content migration, bespoke design, hand-coded development, domain transfer assistance, and 12 months of free hosting. Fixed quote provided after reviewing your current Wix site.
Will a custom website rank better on Google than Wix?
Almost certainly. Google uses page speed and Core Web Vitals as ranking factors. Moving from a Wix site scoring 25 on Lighthouse to a hand-coded site scoring 95+ is one of the biggest ranking improvements you can make. Most clients see ranking improvements within weeks of migration.
I built my Wix site myself — why should I pay a professional?
Building your own site is a smart way to start. But there's a ceiling to what DIY platforms can deliver. A professional build gives you performance Wix can't achieve, design that's genuinely unique, and code you own outright. Think of it as upgrading from doing your own accounts to hiring a chartered accountant — the investment pays for itself.
