Why I Use Wix (and Why It Might Be Right for Your Business Too)

If you’ve ever tried to launch a business or side hustle, you’ve probably heard advice like:
“Real businesses use WordPress.”
“Wix isn’t professional enough.”
“You won’t grow unless you invest in [insert complex tool here].”
But here’s the truth: the best platform is the one that works for you—and that lets you focus on running your business instead of fighting with your website.
Pro Tip: Start simple. You don’t need a 10-page site on day one. Focus on your core message, a clear call-to-action, and the essentials (like who you help and how to work with you). You can always grow your site as your business grows—and with Wix, that’s easy.
At Simply Said Creative, I build client websites using Wix because it’s easy to use, affordable, and offers everything most small businesses and solo entrepreneurs need to succeed online—without the tech headaches.
Here’s why I use Wix for my own business and for my clients—and why it might be perfect for you too.
1. Launch in a Day (or a Week)
If you're overwhelmed at the idea of building a website, you're not alone. That’s exactly why I do it for you.
With Wix, I can design and launch a clear, professional, mobile-friendly website in as little as a day—or within a week, depending on the scope. Whether you need a landing page, multi-page site, or online store, you can go live without delays or drama.
What this means for you:
I handle the setup, layout, design, and basic SEO
You get a live site fast, without needing to touch the tech
No waiting months or chasing down developers
2. Easy for You to Edit Later
One of the best things about Wix is how simple it is to update,, even after we launch.
As part of my service, I show you how to:
Change text and images
Add new services or promotions
Create a blog post
Connect your email or social accounts
Add pages or buttons
No coding required. You can confidently make updates on your own or reach out to me for help when needed.
3. All the Essentials Are Built In
Wix gives you tools most small businesses need without extra subscriptions.
Depending on your plan and goals, your website can include:
A contact form that sends messages to your inbox
A blog to boost your SEO
Online scheduling (great for coaches, consultants, or service providers)
Email list sign-ups and marketing
Payment options for services, products, or digital downloads
Private member areas for online communities
E-commerce store or order form
This all-in-one approach saves you time, reduces overwhelm, and keeps your online presence in one place.
4. Scales With You as You Grow
Need a simple site today, but want room to expand later? Perfect.
Many of my clients start with 5-7 pages and later add features like:
An online store
Event booking
A blog
Paid membership areas
Online courses
Portfolio or case studies
You don’t have to do everything all at once. Wix makes it easy to grow in stages—and I’m here to help when you’re ready for what’s next.
5. Affordable + Transparent Pricing
Wix offers different pricing tiers. I’ll help you choose the best plan based on your needs, but most service-based businesses are good with:
Combo Plan ($16–$20/month CAD): Great for basic websites
Business Basic ($27–$32/month CAD): Best for taking payments or offering bookings
Business Unlimited ($36+/month CAD): Ideal if you want full marketing tools and more storage
Domain and hosting are included in your plan—no separate charges. You’ll also get a free SSL certificate and mobile optimization built in.
6. Support + Tutorials You Can Actually Use
Wix has step-by-step tutorials, help articles, and an intuitive editor. When we work together, I’ll guide you through how to use your new site and send you personalized training videos so you feel confident managing it moving forward.
Plus, if something breaks or needs an upgrade, I offer support options post-launch—so you’re never stuck.
What to Expect When We Work Together
Here’s how the process usually goes:
Discovery Call – We talk about your business goals, audience, and brand
Content & Prep – You share your logo (or I can create one for you), copy (or I can help write it), and any photos (which I can source for you if you don't have any)
Design & Build – I design your site in Wix, set up all functionality, and optimize for mobile
Review & Launch – You preview your site, request changes, and we go live!
Training & Support – You get custom walkthroughs, access to help, and launch-day support
Final Thoughts
Wix is the platform I trust and use for Simply Said Creative—and for good reason. It’s user-friendly, scalable, and gives you everything you need to build a brand and website you’re proud to share.
You don’t need to be tech-savvy. You don’t need a big budget. You just need a partner who can help you put it all together. That’s what I do.
Ready for a website that works? Let’s chat. I’d love to help you launch something amazing.
