WEBSITE PLATFORMS

WHY WOULD I CHOOSE WORDPRESS OVER WIX?

Choosing between WordPress and Wix depends on your specific needs, preferences, and goals for your website. Here are some reasons why you might choose WordPress over Wix:

Flexibility and Customisation

WordPress offers more flexibility and customisation options compared to Wix. With WordPress, you have full control over your website's design, functionality, and code. You can choose from thousands of free and premium themes, as well as a vast selection of plugins to add features and extend the functionality of your site. In contrast, Wix offers a drag-and-drop website builder that is more limited in terms of customisation options.

Scalability

WordPress is highly scalable and suitable for websites of all sizes, from small blogs to large e-commerce stores and corporate websites. As your website grows, you can easily scale it by adding new features, integrating third-party services, and optimising performance. Wix, while suitable for small to medium-sized websites, may have limitations in terms of scalability and customisation for larger or more complex projects.

Ownership and Control

With WordPress, you have full ownership and control over your website and its content. You can host your WordPress site on your own server or choose a hosting provider of your choice. This gives you more flexibility and control over your website's data, security, and performance. In contrast, Wix is a hosted platform, which means your website is hosted on Wix's servers, and you have less control over the underlying infrastructure.

Community and Support

WordPress has a large and active community of developers, designers, and users who contribute to its ecosystem. There are extensive documentation, forums, and tutorials available to help you learn and troubleshoot issues. Additionally, there are many WordPress agencies and professionals who can provide support and assistance if needed. While Wix also has a support system and community, it may not be as extensive as WordPress due to its proprietary nature.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

WordPress is known for its SEO-friendly features and plugins that can help improve your website's search engine rankings. With WordPress, you have more control over optimising your site for SEO, including customising metadata, creating SEO-friendly URLs, and installing plugins like Yoast SEO. While Wix also offers SEO features, some users find WordPress to be more robust and customisable in this regard.


The choice between WordPress and Wix depends on your specific requirements, technical expertise, and preferences. If you value flexibility, customisation, and scalability, WordPress may be the better choice. However, if you prioritise ease of use, simplicity, and a fully managed solution, Wix could be a suitable option.
