Wix alternatives
Wix alternatives for online fitness coaches.
Wix gives you the most flexibility of any DIY builder, which is exactly why coaches end up with Wix sites that look like Wix sites. The drag-and-drop editor hands you every decision at once, and most coaches are trying to make those decisions late at night between client sessions. The result is a site that was nearly finished eight months ago. Wix is not a bad tool. It is a bad fit for a coach whose job is coaching, not designing.
Side by side
How the two stack up on the things that matter.
| 1WeekSites | Wix | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £1,000 one-off | £13–£35 per month plus your time |
| Copy written for you | Yes, all of it | No, you write everything |
| Time to live | 5 business days | 2 to 10 weeks (often longer) |
| Design coherence | Copy-led, consistent | Depends entirely on you |
| Mobile performance | Optimised by default | Mobile view needs separate work |
| Conversion structure | Built in from intake | Not included |
| Ongoing cost | Hosting only (~£10/m) | £13–£35 per month forever |
| Learning curve | None | Steep if you want it to look good |
When Wix is actually fine
- You enjoy design work and want full control over every element
- You have the time and patience to learn the editor properly
- You are technically confident and already have the copy written
When 1WeekSites is the move
- You started a Wix site months ago and still have not launched it
- You want the site done, not to become a part-time web designer
- The copy, not the design, is what keeps blocking you
- You would rather pay once and own the result than pay monthly forever
How the switch works
Zero downtime, zero drama.
If you already have a Wix site, we do not migrate the Wix infrastructure, we build a fresh, faster site on a proper stack and point your domain at it. You keep your email, your domain, and your existing content if you want it carried across.
Common questions
Questions people ask before they book.
Will the new site be faster than my current Wix site?
Almost always, yes. We build on a modern stack that loads faster on mobile, which matters because most of your traffic is coming from an Instagram tap.
Can I still edit the site myself afterwards?
Yes. You get a handover Loom walking through exactly how to update copy, swap images, and add testimonials. No technical knowledge required.
