A Wix alternative that builds the website for you.
Wix is a do-it-yourself website builder: you choose a template, write the pages and keep the site up to date. Buzzozo is a managed website: we write, design, build, host and look after it for one monthly price. Try a free 14-day website first, no card needed, and compare it with Wix.

Wix or a managed website: who does the work?
Wix is a website builder. You pick a template, add your words and photos, and publish the site yourself. The Wix plans page lists a free plan, AI creation tools, built-in SEO tools and 24/7 customer care, and Wix runs the hosting. If you enjoy building and have the time, it is a capable tool.
A managed website starts from the other end. Buzzozo writes, designs and builds the site with you, hosts it on our own UK platform and looks after it for one monthly price. You tell us about the business; we do the building, the security, the backups and the search work. So the real question is less “which builder?” and more “who will keep this website working for the business?”
Wix and Buzzozo, side by side.

| LLM SEO, built in | Clear service pages, FAQs, schema and llms.txt, so ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews can read and understand your business, plus on-page SEO for Google. Search providers choose their results, so nobody can promise a position or an AI citation. |
| UK support from people | Talk to us by phone on 020 3282 5353, on WhatsApp or by email. |

When is Wix the better choice?
Choose Wix if you want to design every detail yourself, have time to write and update the site, and want the lowest monthly cost. A hobby site, a one-off event or a business with someone who is already confident with website builders can do well on Wix, and its free plan lets you try the editor without paying.
Choose a managed website when your time matters more than the tool: you would rather run the business while someone else writes the pages, keeps the site secure and makes it clear to Google and AI search. That is the gap a managed website fills.
Can I move from Wix to Buzzozo?
Yes, though the Wix site itself stays with Wix: Wix explains that a Wix site must run on its own servers. What moves is your content, which Wix says belongs to you, and your domain. We rebuild the website on our platform using your words, photos and services, then connect your domain to the new site when you are happy with it.
Keep your Wix plan running until the new site is live and you have checked it. If you bought your domain through Wix, we will walk you through connecting or transferring it so it stays in your name. Tell us how your business email is set up before anything changes, so nothing is lost in the move.

Wix alternative questions, answered.
What is the best Wix alternative for a small business?
It depends on who you want to build the site. If you want another do-it-yourself builder, Squarespace is a popular choice. If you would rather not build it at all, a managed website such as Buzzozo writes, builds, hosts and looks after the site for one monthly price, and you can try it free for 14 days with no card needed.
Is Wix free?
Wix has a free plan. Wix says a Premium plan lets you connect your own domain and remove Wix branding, so a free Wix site carries Wix branding. On 28 October 2026 its UK Premium plans were listed at £9 to £119 a month for yearly plans, before applicable taxes.
Why would a business move from Wix to a managed website?
Usually because of time. On Wix you build and update the site yourself. A managed website moves that work to us: we write the pages, keep the site secure and backed up, and handle on-page SEO and the AI-search-ready build, while you run the business.
How much does Buzzozo cost compared with Wix?
Wix Premium plans are listed at £9 to £119 a month for yearly plans, and you build the site. The Buzzozo Website plan is from £149 a month, the founding price for the first 100 businesses, locked for life, and from £299 a month after the first 100. Website + CRM is from £599 a month. Your first 14 days are free, with no card needed.
Can I move my Wix website to Buzzozo?
Your content can move, but the Wix site itself cannot, because Wix says a Wix site must run on its servers. We rebuild the website on our platform with your words, photos and services, and you keep Wix running until you have checked the new site. Your domain stays in your name.
Does a managed website help with AI search?
Every Buzzozo website includes on-page SEO and an AI-search-ready build, with clear service pages, FAQs, schema and llms.txt, so AI assistants and Google’s AI Overviews can read and understand your business. Search providers choose their results, so we cannot promise a position or an AI citation.
Is there a contract with Buzzozo?
No. Buzzozo plans are monthly, with no contract, and you can cancel any time. The first 14 days are free and need no card, so you can see your website before you choose a plan.
