How is SiteFlow different from Wix?

Wix is a drag-and-drop website builder where you build and maintain your own site using templates. SiteFlow is a fully managed service powered by agentic AI where we design, build, write content, and maintain your website for you. Every SiteFlow site is custom-designed, not built from a template.

Can I switch from Wix to SiteFlow?

Yes, switching from Wix to SiteFlow is straightforward. We migrate your content, redesign your site from scratch (no templates), and handle the entire transition with zero downtime. Your SEO rankings are preserved through proper redirects.

The Problem with Wix Nobody Talks About

Wix is easy to start. But "easy to start" and "good for your business" are two very different things.

Painfully Slow

3-6 sec

Wix injects massive amounts of JavaScript into every page. Your visitors wait, Google notices, and your rankings suffer. Half your visitors leave before the page even loads.

Locked In

No export

You can't take your Wix site with you. Your design, your layout, your structure: it all stays on Wix's platform. You're renting, not owning. SiteFlow gives you a site you truly own.

Same As Everyone

800+ used

Wix has 800+ templates, but millions of users. Your site ends up looking like countless others. First impressions matter, and a template doesn't say "professional."

Why NZ Businesses Choose SiteFlow Over Wix

A closer look at what changes when you stop building your own website and let AI do it properly.

Wix Is Slow. Google Knows It.

Wix pages are notoriously heavy. Every template comes packed with JavaScript that your visitors' browsers have to download and process before they see anything. That's why most Wix sites score poorly on Google's Core Web Vitals.

SiteFlow sites load in under one second. Built with clean, modern code and served from Cloudflare's edge network, your pages are live before your visitor finishes blinking. Faster sites rank higher, convert better, and keep people around longer.

Auto-Generated Code

Heavy, unreadable code that slows everything down

Platform Lock-In

Can't export or move your site elsewhere

SiteFlow: Built from Scratch

Custom design, clean code, you own everything

Templates vs Custom Design

Wix gives you 800+ templates. Sounds like a lot, until you realise millions of other businesses are picking from the same pool. Your accountancy firm ends up looking like a yoga studio that picked the same template.

SiteFlow doesn't have a template library because we don't use templates. Every website is designed from scratch to match your brand, your industry, and your customers. Your site looks like yours and nobody else's.

Stop Being Your Own Web Developer

Wix markets itself as "easy." And it is, for the first hour. Then you're three evenings in, fighting with spacing, wondering why the mobile version looks broken, and Googling "how to make Wix load faster."

SiteFlow is a fully managed service. Our agentic AI handles everything: design, copywriting, SEO, performance, and updates. Need a change? Send an email. It's done in 30 minutes. Your time is better spent on your business, not your website.

Wix vs SiteFlow FAQ

Common questions about switching from Wix to SiteFlow in New Zealand.

Is SiteFlow better than Wix for NZ businesses?

If you want a website that truly represents your brand, loads fast, ranks well on Google, and requires zero effort from you, then yes. Wix is a solid DIY tool for people who enjoy building websites. SiteFlow is for business owners who'd rather focus on their business. You get a fully custom design, AI-powered copywriting and SEO, and a team that handles every update.

Can I migrate my Wix site to SiteFlow?

Yes, and we make it painless. We take your existing content, redesign your website from scratch (not another template), optimise everything for search engines, and launch with zero downtime. We set up proper redirects so your Google rankings are preserved. Most migrations are completed within a few days.

Why are Wix sites so slow?

Wix injects a large amount of JavaScript into every page for its drag-and-drop editor to work. This code has to be downloaded and processed by your visitor's browser before anything appears on screen. Add Wix apps and the problem gets worse. SiteFlow uses clean, hand-crafted code served from a global edge network, resulting in sub-second load times.

Do I need technical skills to use SiteFlow?

None at all. Unlike Wix where you need to learn a website editor, SiteFlow is completely hands-off. Want to change your opening hours? Update a photo? Add a new service page? Just send us an email. Our AI processes your request and the change is live in under 30 minutes. No logins, no dashboards, no dragging and dropping.

Can I take my site with me if I leave Wix?

No. Wix doesn't let you export your website design or structure. Your content can be copied, but your site's look and layout stays locked on their platform. With SiteFlow, your website is built with clean, standard code. You own it completely, and it's never locked to any single platform.
