What Wix is and who it fits
Wix is a diy website builder: drag-and-drop site builder you build and maintain yourself. You. Wix hands you a drag-and-drop editor and an AI site generator; nobody at Wix builds, writes, or maintains the site for you. A owner-operator with time to learn an editor and no lead-tracking needs yet, and it's the wrong tool for a contractor who wants the phone answered and leads followed up without doing it by hand.

What Wix includes
- Templates and an AI site generator
- Hosting and a free domain for year one on paid plans
- Basic SEO and marketing tools
- 24/7 chat support
What it's missing
- No lead handling: no missed-call text-back, no CRM, no follow-up sequences
- No contractor-specific service or location pages built in
- No one on the other end who knows your trade or your jobs
- Google Business Profile and review management are not part of the product
Where Wix is the better fit
- You want full manual control over layout and don't mind building it yourself
- You need e-commerce, bookings, or a member site (Wix's app market is far deeper than what I build)
- Your budget really is $18-$40/mo and nothing more, at least to start
Not for a contractor who wants the phone answered and leads followed up without doing it by hand. That part is what I sell instead.
