Wix promises the easiest possible website builder, while WordPress offers far more power and ownership. Here's how they compare.
| Factor | Wix | WordPress |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of use | Drag-and-drop, very easy | Steeper learning curve |
| Flexibility | Limited to Wix features | Virtually unlimited |
| Ownership | Locked to Wix platform | You fully own your site |
| SEO | Improved but limited | Best-in-class control |
| Migration | Hard to move away | Portable anywhere |
| Cost | Monthly plan | Hosting + optional plugins |

Yes, but Wix makes migration difficult - content usually has to be rebuilt. It's easier to start on the right platform.
