Wix is easy to start with — and easy for Google to bury. Here is how a hand-coded site beats it on speed, SEO, and lifetime cost.

I've helped businesses in biddeford, maine move away from slow, bloated websites. Whether you're near East Point Audubon Sanctuary, Clifford Park, Stage Island Monument, your customers expect a fast, reliable online experience. I build custom PHP websites that load in under a second, rank higher on Google, and come with zero monthly fees. No WordPress, no page builders — just clean, hand‑coded performance. Ready to leave your competition behind? Let's talk.
Wix is a drag-and-drop builder that gets you online fast, but it injects heavy JavaScript and locks you into a monthly plan forever. We build custom-coded websites that load in under a second, score 100 on Lighthouse, and rank higher in Google — for one flat fee instead of a subscription you pay for life. If you are weighing Wix against a custom site, here is the honest comparison. loc_serving

plat_tradeoffs
Heavy JavaScript and inline styles push load times to 3–4 seconds
Lighthouse scores in the 40s drag down Google rankings
You pay every month forever — and rates rise over time
You never own the code; you are locked to the Wix platform
Limited SEO control compared with hand-coded schema and markup
Yes — dramatically. Wix typically loads in 3–4 seconds because of bloated JavaScript, while our hand-coded sites load in under one second and score 100 on Lighthouse. Speed is a confirmed Google ranking factor.
Over time, almost always. Wix charges $17–$36 every month indefinitely. A custom site is one flat fee you own outright — most clients come out ahead within a couple of years, and keep saving after that.
Yes. We rebuild your site as clean, fast, custom code and migrate your content and SEO so you keep your rankings while gaining speed and full ownership.
