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.
⚡ Under 1s vs 3.7s
Search behaviour in New Hampshire varies by city, so each New Hampshire page is written around what that specific area actually searches for rather than one statewide template. Working remotely across New Hampshire means the same developer builds for Nashua and for the smallest town on the list — no junior hand-off by postcode. Every New Hampshire project is a flat one-time fee, whether the business is in Nashua or somewhere with a few thousand residents.
Because searches are local. A page written around one city answers what people there actually type, which a single statewide page cannot.
Yes — 12 New Hampshire cities have their own page here, and the process is identical for a business in Nashua or a much smaller town. Everything runs over calls and a shared staging link.
12 of them, listed on this page. Nashua, Manchester and Portsmouth are the largest, but the list runs well beyond the major metros.
Moving off Wix is mainly a migration problem, not a design one — and for New Hampshire businesses the risk that matters is losing rankings, which careful URL mapping prevents. Most Wix sites in New Hampshire start fast and slow down as plugins and apps accumulate. Custom code has nothing to accumulate. Every Wix migration for New Hampshire ships with a full redirect map, so the rankings you already have follow you across.
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. Serving New Hampshire.
Side by side on the things that actually affect your rankings and your wallet.
| BuiltToWinWeb | Wix | |
|---|---|---|
| Page load time | Under 1 second | 3.7s |
| Lighthouse score | 100 | 45 |
| Cost | ✓ One flat fee | ✗ $17–$36 / mo, forever |
| You own the code | ✓ Fully yours | ✗ Locked to platform |
| Built for SEO | ✓ Hand-coded schema | ✗ Limited control |
| Code & plugin bloat | ✓ Zero | ✗ Heavy |
The trade-offs that come with the convenience.
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.
Yes, and generally faster. Anything handled by a Wix plugin or app — forms, payments, bookings, galleries — is built directly into the code.
About a month for a typical New Hampshire business site, including content migration and redirect mapping.
They stop. The build is a one-time cost and the code is yours; the only ongoing cost is standard hosting.
