Side-by-Side Comparison
See how Keith Kelly stacks up against Wix on the things that matter.
| Feature | Keith Kelly | Wix |
|---|---|---|
| Who Builds It | I design, build, and launch your entire site — you answer a few questions and approve the result | You build it yourself using a drag-and-drop editor, making every design and content decision |
| Time Investment | Zero hours from you — I handle everything from design to launch | 20-60+ hours to learn the platform, choose a template, write content, source images, and build every page |
| Total Investment | $99/mo and zero hours of your time. I handle design, code, content, and launch. | $17-39/mo for the platform, plus 20-60 hours of your time to design, write, build, and maintain every page yourself |
| Portability | You own standard HTML/CSS files — host them anywhere, take them with you if you leave | Zero export capability — your site is locked inside Wix with no way to move it to another platform |
| Page Speed | Sub-2-second load times with vanilla HTML/CSS — no bloated framework code | 6.8-second average load time due to heavy JavaScript framework — hurts Google rankings and loses visitors |
| Support | Dedicated, personal service — send me a message and I fix it | Chatbot-first support with long wait times for human help on technical issues |

The Real Price of Wix
Monthly pricing is only part of the story. The bigger cost is your time.

Why Switch
Why Businesses Leave Wix
These are the most common frustrations I hear from Wix users.
Zero export or portability — your site is completely locked inside Wix with no way to download or migrate it
6.8-second average load time due to heavy JavaScript, well above the 2.5-second threshold Google recommends for good user experience
Recognizable 'Wix look' that makes it hard for your business to stand out from thousands of other Wix sites
Cannot change your template after publishing — if you outgrow your design, you must start over from scratch

Switching from Wix
Can I switch from Wix to your service?
Yes. Because Wix doesn't allow you to export your site, I'll build your new site from scratch using your existing business information. You'll see the finished result before committing, and your new site will be built with standard HTML/CSS that you own outright.
How does your pricing compare to Wix?
Wix plans start at $17/mo, which is less than my $99/mo. But with Wix, you are the designer, developer, and copywriter. Most people spend 20-60 hours building their site. At $30/hr, that is $600-$1,800 of your time before you even launch, plus ongoing maintenance. My $99/mo includes everything done for you with zero time investment.
What about my existing Wix site?
I'll use the content and information from your current Wix site as a starting point. Since Wix doesn't allow exports, I scrape your existing content and rebuild it as a professional, high-performance site. You'll keep your domain and get a faster, fully portable website you actually own.
My Wix site loads slowly — will yours be faster?
Almost certainly. Wix sites average 6.8-second load times because of their heavy JavaScript framework. My sites use vanilla HTML/CSS with no framework overhead, consistently loading in under 2 seconds. Faster sites rank higher on Google and convert more visitors into customers.
Ready to Switch from Wix?
I build it first. You see the finished site before you pay anything.
