xigzag or Wix? The honest answer.

Getting started

Describe your business in a sentence and a finished site appears — designed and written for you.

Pick from hundreds of templates (or its ADI wizard), then drag and drop every element into place yourself.

Your design

An original look, created for your business. No two sites are alike.

A polished template shared with many other sites; pixel-level control if you put in the time.

Fees on your sales

0%. On a $10,000 month you keep all $10,000 — your customers pay you through your own account.

A per-sale fee is common — around 2.9% on a typical store is ~$290 of that same $10,000.

Everything in one place

Store, bookings, tickets, courses, memberships and donations all built in and working together.

Powerful, but features like bookings, events and a store often mean adding and configuring separate apps.

Languages & the world

100+ languages and full right-to-left for Arabic, Persian and Hebrew — built in from day one.

Usually an add-on, and right-to-left is often an afterthought.

Changing things later

Change one thing and the whole site keeps up — menus, links and pages stay in sync.

Free-positioned elements give control, but moving one thing can nudge others on different screen sizes.

Ads on your site

Never — ad-free on every plan, including the free one.

Free plans often show the builder's own ads or badges.

What it costs to grow

Free to build, $19 to go live, then a price that rises gently as you grow — no sudden jumps.

Step up to the next tier and the price can jump all at once.

Trying it out

Free to start, no credit card, cancel anytime — and your site is always yours to export.

Often a card up front, or a trial that quietly turns into a bill.

This is xigzag's honest view; Wix is a capable product and the details above can change, so check Wix's current plans too. The xigzag side is what we do today.

In fairness

When Wix is the better choice

Pick Wix if you enjoy hands-on, pixel-perfect drag-and-drop control and want the biggest app marketplace to bolt extras onto.

We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one. If that's xigzag, the fastest way to know is to build a site and see — it's free.

The best way to choose is to try.

Describe your business and watch a real, finished site appear — free, before you sign up.
