Sitefront vs Wix
Choose Sitefront if you want a local business website written and designed for you, at a fixed €120 a year. Choose Wix if you want to design every page yourself from a large template library, or you need features Sitefront doesn't have, such as an online shop.

How do the prices compare?
Sitefront has one price: €120 a year or €12 a month, with everything included.
Wix has a free plan, but to connect your own domain and remove Wix branding you need a paid plan. Wix's plans page shows prices in US dollars for reference and says the price in your local currency appears at checkout, so check the current euro price on wix.com before you compare. Wix's paid plans include a free domain for one year, for a new domain bought through Wix and redeemed within 60 days.
How much work does each take?
With Sitefront you answer questions and get a finished site in a few minutes. Your time goes on adding your own photos and checking the words.
With Wix you pick a template and build each page yourself: the layout, the text and the images. It has over a thousand templates and lots of freedom, which is great if you enjoy design, but it takes longer and the result depends on your eye for it.
When is Wix the better choice?
- You want to design every detail yourself
- You need an online shop with a checkout, or a booking system
- You want a larger site with many different page types
- You're happy to spend evenings building and adjusting
When is Sitefront the better choice?
- You run a local business and want a proper site quickly
- You'd rather not learn a website tool
- You want one clear price with nothing extra to unlock
- You want your trade, services and areas written up for you
