Wix vs Custom Website: What South African Businesses Need to Know
When Wix or Squarespace is fine
- You are pre-revenue and testing a concept
- Your website is a digital business card, not a lead source
- You have no budget for web development and need something live immediately
- You do not need advanced SEO or organic search traffic
- You do not need integration with CRM, ERP, or custom back-end systems
When you need a custom website instead
- You want to rank consistently in Google South Africa for commercial keywords
- You need the website to integrate with your CRM, accounting, or booking systems
- Your brand requires a specific visual identity that no template provides
- You need ecommerce with South African payment gateways and local courier integration
- You want page load times under 2 seconds on a South African mobile network
- You need features that Wix cannot support — calculators, configurators, member portals
