Short answer: Wix costs far less in dollars, $17 to $39 a month for its main plans when billed yearly, but you build the site, write it and do the SEO yourself. HollerWeb costs $249 to $449 a month and does all of that for you, with no setup fee and no long-term contract. If you have the time and like doing it yourself, Wix is a solid pick. If you’d rather spend that time running your business, HollerWeb is built for you.

What the difference pays for
The gap is real money, so it’s worth being clear about what it buys. With Wix, the price is for the tool: the building, writing, SEO, listings and updates are your time. With HollerWeb, the price is for the work. We build the site, write it, manage your Google Business Profile, set up your listings, do SEO every month and send you a rankings report that shows where you stand in Google.
When Wix is the better pick
- You’re just starting out and need a site up quickly on a small budget.
- You enjoy building and writing it yourself, and you have time to keep up with SEO.
- You want to sell products online with Wix’s built-in store tools.
When HollerWeb is the better pick
- You’d rather spend your time running your business than learning a website builder.
- You want someone doing your SEO and keeping your Google Business Profile active every month.
- You want to talk to the people doing the work, with no long-term contract holding you in.
Common questions
Is Wix bad for SEO?
No. Wix gives you the settings you need, like page titles and descriptions. What a builder can’t do is the ongoing work: writing a page for each service, keeping your Google Business Profile active and watching where you rank. That work is what HollerWeb’s plans pay for.
Can you move my Wix site to HollerWeb?
Yes. We build you a new site and set up redirects from your old page addresses, to protect the Google traffic your old pages earned. Our guide on redesigning without losing rankings explains how.
Do I have to sign a contract with HollerWeb?
There’s no long-term contract. There’s no setup fee, you pay your first month up front, and you can leave whenever you want.
