Alternatives Wix
Looking for a Wix alternative?
Wix gives you an editor, thousands of templates and an app market to build any kind of site. Lumipage builds one focused site from a chat, designed and written for your business. Publish in about a minute, then keep editing in chat or on the page.
Free to start. No credit card.
Who this is for
For people who need a site, not a platform.
Freelancers, consultants, local businesses and founders who need one site online and kept current: what you do, why people should pick you, and a way to get in touch. You’d rather describe it than learn an editor.
If you need an online store, bookings, a blog or many pages in one site, Wix will suit you better. If you need one clear site that looks like your business and is easy to change, keep reading.
Wix at a glance
A fair take on Wix.
Wix is one of the largest website platforms. Start from a template or let Wix’s AI draft a site, then shape it in a drag-and-drop editor and add apps for what your business needs.
What Wix is strong at
Free plan: build and publish at username.wixsite.com/sitename, with Wix branding
Everything in one place: online store, payments, scheduling and services on Core and up
Design control: a drag-and-drop editor and thousands of templates
Free domain: one year of a new domain with most yearly Premium plans

Where Wix still wins
When Wix is the better pick.
Lumipage builds focused sites, not a business platform. It’s the better Wix alternative when you want a site that looks like your business, made and changed by describing it.
You want to publish for free (Lumipage needs a plan to publish)
You sell products online or take bookings and payments on the site
You need a blog or many pages in one site
You want to place every element yourself in a drag-and-drop editor
