MooseBase vs Wix.
Wix is fine if you want a website you rent forever and that looks like 5,000 other small businesses. We build custom sites you actually own, that load in under a second, and that do not need a monthly app subscription to function.
- No template lock-in. No drag-and-drop ceiling.
- Sub-2 second load times, baked in, not bolted on
- You own the code. Cancel anytime, take it with you.

What you stop fighting on day one.
Why choose MooseBase over Wix?
You actually own what you pay for.
Stop renting your website. With MooseBase the code is yours, the design is yours, the content is yours. Cancel anytime, take the build with you. Wix is a subscription you cannot leave without losing everything.
Speed Wix cannot match.
Every site we ship hits a 98+ speed score before launch. Wix sites carry the editor runtime on every page load, which is why typical Wix mobile speed scores sit in the 30 to 60 range no matter how clean your content is. We eliminate the cause: static rendering at the edge, zero builder bloat.
Designed for your business. Not from a template gallery.
We do not pick a template. Every layout is drawn for your offer, your customers, your category. The kind of site you cannot recreate with drag and drop, and that does not look like every other small business that scrolled the Wix template gallery for an hour.
One team, one bill, no app cart.
Hosting, design, dev, content, SEO, unlimited edits, and lifetime support, all under one $180/month plan. Or $1,800 upfront if you'd rather not have a recurring bill. Wix means stacking subscriptions: premium plan, premium template, bookings app, SEO app, email app, and a freelancer to make it look custom.
30 minutes. No pitch deck.
We will look at your current Wix site, tell you exactly what we would do, and give you a real number. No obligation, no follow-up sequence.
