You have four real options. Another builder changes the editor and keeps the arrangement. WordPress gives you the site and a maintenance job with it. A freelancer is the answer when your site has to do something complicated, at $2,000 to $15,000 for a small business site (HubSpot Blog, 2025). The fourth is the one the lists leave out: your site rebuilt as files you own outright, hosted wherever you like, for $49, $99 or $249 paid once. That last one is us.
The word doing the work in this question is alternative. Sometimes it means a different editor. Sometimes it means a different arrangement entirely. Those are not the same shopping trip, so start by working out which one you are on.
Another builder changes the editor and keeps the arrangement
Search for Wix alternatives and you mostly get other builders. Move to one and you will spend an evening or two putting your content back in, and at the end the arrangement is exactly what it was: the site is published by a company, and the payment is what keeps it published.
There is one good reason to do that anyway. If you edit your site most weeks and the Wix editor is the part you dislike, a better editor is a real fix and you should go and find one. If you cannot remember the last time you changed a word on the site, the editor was never your problem. Experts generally recommend a small business redesigns its site every two to three years, so if your last real change is older than that, you are paying every month for tools you do not open.
WordPress ends the subscription and starts the upkeep
WordPress is the standard answer here and it is a good one for the right person. The site is yours, it runs on hosting you rent for $2 to $30 a month (Forbes, 2026) with a domain at $10 to $25 a year (Elementor, 2026), and it is not tied to one company's plan.
What comes with it is a job. Updates, plugins and security are now on your desk. That is fine if you publish often and somebody will realistically do the work. If nobody will, a neglected WordPress site ages worse than the builder you left.
A freelancer is right when the site has to do something
If your site takes bookings, runs a shop with stock and payments, or logs people in, you are not looking for a design. You are looking for development, and you want a person. Budget $2,000 to $15,000 for a small business site (HubSpot Blog, 2025). A large, fully custom build runs 6 to 12 months (Connective Web Design, 2026), and at enterprise scale $50,000 to $250,000+.
A freelancer also suits you if you want to be in it: calls, drafts, opinions, weeks of shaping. That involvement is most of what you are paying for. If you want it, go and buy it, and do not buy us.
The fourth option: keep the site, stop renting the platform
On a builder you are renting your website. Stop paying and it goes away, which is a strange arrangement for the first thing most of your customers look at.
So here is the option the lists skip. Give us your web address and we rebuild the site as your own files. You host it wherever you like, for as long as you like. Nothing you pay us keeps it online. If you want it to look exactly as it does now, we can do that. If you would rather it looked better, pick a different design from a library that grows every day, each one shaped around what already works in your line of work.
There is nothing to fill in. No forms, no brief, no calls. We build the first version from the words and photos already on your site, and we can make new images where yours are thin. You see it free before any of this costs you anything: ready in minutes, change anything you like, publish in one click, no card. The free one goes live on a redesign.llc web address, and your own domain comes with the $249 plan.
The prices are paid once, tax added at checkout. $49 is the code, same day, yours to host anywhere, with no rounds of changes at that price. $99 adds three rounds where you keep, adjust or replace any section, finished in 48 hours. $249 takes what you like from up to three designs, makes one site out of them, refines it over five rounds, then hosts it on your own domain and keeps it running. Live in seven days.
Moving off a builder is that same rebuild at those same three prices. It is not a separate product with a migration fee attached.
| Option | What you have at the end | What it costs | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stay on Wix | A site the platform publishes | Your current plan, every month | You edit most weeks and it works |
| Another builder | A site the platform publishes | Another monthly plan | The editor is the thing you dislike |
| WordPress | The site, and the upkeep | Hosting $2 to $30/mo, domain $10 to $25/yr, plus your time | You publish often and someone will maintain it |
| Freelancer or agency | Varies by contract | $2,000 to $15,000 (HubSpot, 2025) | The site has to do something complicated |
| redesign.llc | The files, on every plan | $49 to $249 once, plus hosting if you host it | You want it done for you, and off the subscription |
Renting a website is not a scandal. It is a fair deal if you use the editor, and plenty of people do. What gets me is how many businesses pay it for years without opening the thing once, because nobody ever mentioned that the site could just be theirs. Count your edits over the last twelve months before you read anyone's pricing page. If the answer is none, you are not shopping for a better builder. You are shopping for a way out.

When this isn't right for you
Go elsewhere if:
- Customers book appointments on your site. We rebuild pages, not booking systems.
- You sell products with stock, checkout and orders. That belongs on a commerce platform, and moving it is a bigger project than this one.
- You want to keep editing in a drag-and-drop canvas. You get files, and files are edited by whoever writes code, or by us on the plans that include rounds of changes.
- Three people update the site every week. A builder is the safest place for that and it is worth the money.
- You have no site yet. We rebuild what already exists.
