Why I Choose Wix (and Why I’ll Never Look Back)

When I first started out, I used Wix — and honestly, it was perfect. Easy to use, looked great, and I could make changes myself without needing a degree in tech.

But like a lot of small business owners, I got talked into switching to WordPress. Everyone back then made it sound like “real businesses” used it, so I followed the crowd.

Big mistake.

My website never looked quite right. I lost months of my time just trying to figure out the back end.

Everything was complicated — even the simplest updates felt like pulling teeth. But I stuck with it, thinking I had to if I wanted to look professional.

Three years later, I was burnt out and frustrated… so I switched back to Wix.

And I haven’t looked back since.

Now, my site looks great, I can update it whenever I want, and I can actually run my entire business from it — no tech support needed. After 12+ years in business and thousands of clients, I’ve learned the tools you use should make your life easier, not harder.

That’s why all our Biz in a Box websites are built on Wix — so you can manage it yourself (if you want to), or just leave it running smooth and stress-free in the background.

Easy. Smart. No drama.

Which Plan Do I Use?

Let me tell you what I did.

When I first started, I used the free version of Wix. It did the job — I had a website, people could find me, and I didn’t have to spend a cent. As soon as I landed my first client, I upgraded to the Light Plan ($16/month) so I could have my own proper web address (like www.mybusiness.com). It made me look way more professional, and honestly — that alone is worth it.

If you’re just starting out and want a clean, simple site that makes you look legit without all the extras, the Light Plan is my go-to recommendation. It’s affordable, it works, and you can always upgrade later.

These days, I’m on the Business Plan ($49/month). I only upgraded when I wanted to build online courses, create a membership space, send invoices, and take payments through the site. That wasn’t until year seven of running my business — so trust me, there’s no rush.

Start simple. Grow when you’re ready. You’ve got options.
