VanVed vs Wix
for Website builder
Why businesses choose VanVed over Wix
The site is not a separate product with its own bill — it ships with the platform, uses the tenant's existing branding, and its contact form writes a lead straight into the CRM the same business already works out of. Six curated presets mean a tenant with no designer still gets something coherent rather than a colour picker and a blank canvas.
Capability by capability
Every row below is what our 2026 research found — including the rows we lose.
| Capability | VanVed | Wix |
|---|---|---|
| How a page is built | Ten fixed section types — hero, about, gallery, services, testimonials, pricing, FAQ, contact, team, footer — reordered in a list | Free drag-and-drop canvas, plus Wix Studio for responsive pro work |
| Design starting points | Six curated presets pairing an accent colour, heading and body fonts and a section background style | 900+ templates and full style control, plus AI site generation |
| Custom domain and SSL | The admin requests a domain; a human on the platform team provisions the certificate and flips it live | Domain free for a year on paid plans, SSL issued automatically |
| SEO controls | A meta description per page, plus a sitemap.xml and robots.txt generated from the tenant's own published pages — still no title override, no social image and no redirects | SEO checklist, per-page meta and OG tags, auto sitemap, robots, 301 redirects |
| Blog | None — there is no post model or blog section type | Built in |
| Where a form submission lands | The contact section writes a real lead into the same platform's CRM, no connector involved | Forms land in a Wix inbox; CRM is a separate Wix product |
| Previewing a draft | Only a published page can be previewed — a draft has no viewable URL | Preview any draft, plus site history and one-click restore |
| Site analytics | None on the public site | Wix Analytics, and Google Analytics on paid plans |
| What the site costs | Part of the platform subscription — no separate site plan, no page or bandwidth tier | $17 to $159 a month on top of whatever else the business runs |
Where Wix is ahead of us today
Wix is a real website builder and this is not. There is no drag-and-drop canvas, no blog and no analytics, and SEO amounts to one meta description per page — sitemap.xml and robots.txt are generated per tenant now, but there is still no title or social-image control. A custom domain is a request that waits on a human to provision TLS by hand, where Wix issues certificates automatically. Drafts cannot even be previewed before publishing.
We publish this because a comparison that only flatters us is worth nothing to you. If one of these gaps is the thing you actually need, Wix may well be the better buy.
