Wix makes it easy to throw a website together quickly - and for a personal blog or hobby site, that is fine. But when your website represents your business, easy is not enough. Wix sites carry bloated code, struggle with SEO, and often look like exactly what they are - a template. Bloodstone gives you a custom-built, professionally managed website that makes your business look as good online as it is in person.
Credit where it is due
What Wix does well
Intuitive drag-and-drop builder that requires no technical knowledge
Free plan available to get started at zero cost
Large app marketplace with hundreds of add-ons
AI-powered site builder for quick setup
Wide variety of templates across many industries
The honest truth
Where Wix falls short
Bloated, messy code under the hood - Wix generates heavy, unoptimised HTML and JavaScript that search engines struggle to crawl efficiently
Poor SEO performance - despite recent improvements, Wix sites consistently underperform custom-built sites in search rankings
Looks unprofessional - experienced visitors can spot a Wix site instantly, which can undermine trust with potential customers
Limited scalability - as your business grows, Wix's constraints become increasingly frustrating with no way to break free without rebuilding entirely
Ads on free plan - the free tier displays Wix branding on your business site, which looks amateurish to potential customers

Make the switch
Why businesses switch to Bloodstone
Look like a serious business
First impressions matter. A Wix template tells visitors you cut corners. A custom-built Bloodstone site tells them you mean business - with a design that is unique to your brand, not shared with thousands of other sites.
Clean code that Google loves
Wix's auto-generated code is notoriously bloated. Our sites are hand-built with clean, semantic HTML and optimised JavaScript - the kind of code that search engines can crawl and index properly.
Stop paying for apps that should be included
Wix's app marketplace is full of paid add-ons for basic features. With Bloodstone, everything is included - SEO, analytics, contact forms, blog functionality, and anything else your business needs. One price, no surprises.
Grow without hitting a wall
Wix works until it does not. When you need custom functionality, better performance, or a more sophisticated design, you hit Wix's ceiling and have to start over. We build on a platform that scales with your ambitions.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Why is Bloodstone better than Wix for my business?
Wix is designed for anyone to build a website themselves. Bloodstone is designed for businesses that want a website that actually delivers results. We handle the design, development, SEO, content, and maintenance - you get a professional site that ranks, converts, and grows with your business.
I am on Wix's free plan - why would I pay £125/month?
Wix's free plan puts Wix ads on your site and gives you a Wix subdomain - neither inspires confidence in potential customers. Once you upgrade to remove ads, add a domain, and get the features you actually need, you are paying £20-32/month for a site you still have to build and manage yourself. For £125/month, you get a professionally built site with zero work on your end.
Can you migrate my Wix site to Bloodstone?
Absolutely. We will redesign and rebuild your site from scratch with a custom design that matches your brand. We transfer your content, set up proper redirects, and handle the domain switch. The whole process takes 2-3 weeks with no downtime.
Will my Google rankings be affected if I switch from Wix?
In our experience, businesses that switch from Wix to a custom-built site see their rankings improve, not decline. We set up proper 301 redirects, implement technical SEO best practices, and build on a faster, cleaner codebase that Google prefers.
What happens if I need changes to my site?
Just tell us what you need. Design tweaks, new pages, content updates - we handle it all, usually within 24-48 hours. No more dragging and dropping elements around a page builder yourself.
