Vert vs Wix

Vert offers a free 14 day trial without the need to provide your credit card details. You'll be granted access to all of its features from the get go.

Wix provides a free version that lets you build a simple website, but it is heavily ad-supported and the ads will be very noticeable on your website.

Vert’s website builder is designed to be as easy to use as possible. Customise your website's colour and fonts, pick from pre-made sections called ‘blocks’ to add in your text and images, and the design look great on desktop and mobile.

Wix's also provides a code-free option to create your website. Their editor uses a drag-and-drop interface which does give you greater flexibility, but unless you know where a button should be positioned, or what aspect ratio works best for your photo, it can be very time consuming and opens things up to making design mistakes. You also may need to edit the mobile version of your website separately because of how Wix handles how your website will look on small devices, which can be even more time consuming.

Websites built with Vert use ‘responsive design’. Responsive design means that text and images on your website are automatically adjusted so they display nicely on any device it’s being viewed on.

Wix's approach to making your website look good on mobile doesn't always yield good results and will most likely require you to edit the mobile version of your website separately. This is because they don't use ‘responsive design’ which is the recommended way to create websites so they work on smaller screens. With more and more people accessing websites on the mobiles, it's important your website performs just as well as it does on a computer.

With Vert, you will be able to manage your websites, track your enquiries, manage your leads and appointments, and much more. Our 14 day free trial grants you access to all of these features so you can try it out yourself.

Wix comes with a free version that lets you build a simple website, but if you want to actually take your business to the next level, you'll need to pay for a business plan. They offer a 14 day money back guarantee but it does mean you'll need to pay first to try it out their features.
