class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"0-1-price-performance-\"><strong>#1 Price Performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, this could be <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">the most dominating factor<\/span> while choosing between WordPress and Wix.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a beginner, it may be the hardest thing to come up with a budgeting plan of somewhat of which you have no idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s <strong>compare Wix and WordPress<\/strong> on the basis of cost efficiency and value of money criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-how-costly-would-be-wix-\"><strong>How Costly Would be Wix?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use and make your website with Wix for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">bad for your authority and authenticity<\/span>.<strong> Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a free plan, you are able to create a free website but with limitations\u2014 that no one wants on their website. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Banners ads of Wix on the top and bottom of your free Wix Website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a subdomain of Wix and are unable to conjoin your custom domain name.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These two limitations are not good for the business owner. That\u2019s why<em> I don\u2019t recommend you to go with Wix free plan.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, <em>what about the premium plans of Wix?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a monthly subscription fee, you can get all the things that you are going to need to make your website live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">two categories of plan<\/span> that you can choose from i.e. \u201cWebsite plan\u201d and \u201cBusiness and eCommerce plan\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized img-responsive\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1127\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/veewom.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot_122.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12269\" style=\"width:564px;height:420px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veewom.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot_122.jpg 1127w, https:\/\/veewom.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot_122-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/veewom.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot_122-1024x763.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/veewom.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot_122-768x572.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Website plan, you have to pay at least $14\/ month to use their services. This includes linking custom domain, free domain for a year, SSL certificate, Wix hosted server with 3 Gb space and 24\/7 customer care support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Business and eCommerce websites, the plans start with $23\/month for their premium support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these features are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">only available in the premium plans<\/span>. That\u2019s become a deal-breaker for the people who are unwilling to invest money in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, if you want some extra plugins or themes from their market store, you have to pay additional bucks, that\u2019s again not desirable to non-investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-how-costly-would-be-wordpress-\"><strong>How Costly Would be WordPress?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For definition\u2014 WordPress is a free Content Management System (CMS). But for practicality\u2014 you can\u2019t live your website effectively, for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How? <\/strong>This is how. First of all, for using the WordPress CMS, you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Live server \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/veewom.com\/articles\/best-wordpress-hosting.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check best WordPress hosting server<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Custom Domain\u2014 you can buy from any domain registrar (I highly suggest buying from <a href=\"https:\/\/vewo.me\/namecheap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Namecheap<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>And both required initial investment. That\u2019s why practically, <em>WordPress is also not free.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">a couple of major advantages<\/span> of using WordPress over Wix in terms of price performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One is<\/strong>\u2014 the flexibility of pricing, which can range from $2\/ month to $200\/ month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That gives a favorable advantage to different sections of users to develop a basic WordPress website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Secondly<\/strong>, there are a lot of free plugins and themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of WordPress users (more than 90%) use free WordPress themes for their website. And when it comes to plugins, the user % goes beyond 99%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means, there are hardly any WordPress websites that are not using free plugins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d6ffdc\">Profoundly, as a beginner, you <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">don\u2019t need premium themes and plugins<\/span>. So, you majorly have to invest in hosting and domain names. That\u2019s all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-verdict-wix-vs-wordpress-cost-performance-\"><strong>Verdict Wix Vs WordPress Cost Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both are subjectively free. But both require an initial investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of high-cost factors, monthly subscription cost, and fixed costing, Wix could be a deal-breaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of money, it requires a lot\u2014 only if you want to make a branded website. Otherwise, if you can cope with the Wix subdomain name, you\u2019re good to go with its free version.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While starting a branded WordPress website with free plugins and themes \u2014 <em>it is easy and cost-effective<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, for WordPress, add-on such as hosting and domain name, you have a lot of options to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#faffc2\"><strong>My Verdict: <\/strong>WordPress is far- far more favorable to cost-efficiently and quite value for money deal than Wix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-2-initial-setup-\"><strong>#2 Initial Setup&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is crucial, especially for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As more and more people lean on online platforms like youtube and websites to start a side hustle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">a higher section of users are beginners<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I personally add this criterion in <strong>differentiating between WordPress and Wix<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-how-easy-is-to-set-up-wix-\"><strong>How Easy Is to Set Up Wix?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.statically.io\/img\/www.wpmesh.com\/f=auto%2Cq=50\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Wix-choose-templates.jpg\" alt=\"How Easy Is to Set Up Wix?\" class=\"wp-image-490\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is as simple as signing up. Requires <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">only 7 simple steps and majorly requires at most 30 mins<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just follow the following pointers, and set up your first Wix website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. You have to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wix.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Wix home page<\/a> and sign up with your best credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. In the signup process, you have to choose a plan to which you are going to subscribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. In the My Site Window, you have to click on \u201cCreate a new Website\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Now, the follow-up page asks you about your niche category such as blog, fitness, designer, events, and so on. You can choose accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. After that you have to choose whether you want to create your Wix Website with \u201cWix ADI\u201d or \u201cprebuilt Wix Editor\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d6ffdc\">Wix ADI <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">asks some follow-up questions<\/span> to get the best possible website layout for you. On the other hand, the Wix Editor option gives you a wide field of prebuilt website templates to choose and edit from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Do some tweaks like color change, logo upload, fonts adjustment, website name, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. All Done, Just publish. Your website is live.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Wix offers you <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">one of the easiest and sophisticated methods of creating a website<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-how-easy-is-to-set-up-wordpress-\"><strong>How Easy Is to Set Up WordPress?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a little bit complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Precisely, you have to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">invest your time and money<\/span> to learn the initial setup of WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, <em>it is not that much hard.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it can bleed you in anger if you fail to do step accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One of the major disadvantages<\/strong> is, you have to do two different jobs and it may require patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are connecting your domain name to hosting and secondly, initialing the WordPress setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connecting domain names is almost the <em>same as connecting to a Wix account<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what makes it hard or easy, is installing WordPress websites on your hosting. And it is up to your hosting provider control panel on how easy it will gonna be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, most big hosting companies either have their own control panels such as Bluehost and <a href=\"https:\/\/vewo.me\/hostinger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hostinger<\/a>, or they have a Cpanel such as <a href=\"https:\/\/vewo.me\/a2hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A2hosting<\/a> and Siteground.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These companies use the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">one-click installation<\/span> for WordPress. And, that is easy.

Therefore, many of the hosting companies leverage their performance for maintaining uptime close to 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s have a look at the <strong>difference in hosting between WordPress and Wix.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"37-wixs-servers-and-uptime-\"><strong>Wix&#8217;s Servers and Uptime<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Wix based websites are hosted on their dedicated Wix server.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">loading time of a Wix website depends<\/span> on the number of images a page has.

While some of the companies fail to level to 99.9%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you can say, it <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">totally depends on hosting providers<\/span> on which WordPress website is hosted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"39-verdict-on-server-maintenance-and-uptime-wix-vs-wordpress-\"><strong>Verdict on Server Maintenance and Uptime: Wix Vs WordPress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wix offers a remarkably stable environment for their premium subscriber with a good uptime over to 99.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in WordPress, the uptime and server maintenance is restricted to which company you prefer to host your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, uptime may vary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you buy from reputable hosting providers such as Siteground, you will get an uptime of 99.9%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#faffc2\"><strong>My Verdict:<\/strong> If you want to have a big website, 99.8% of uptime (about 4 hours of downtime in 30 days) can cost you losing reasonable traffic.

Between Wix and WordPress, which is best for Blogging?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Ans. For blogging, WordPress offers you tons of customization options to beautify your posts along with their simple blog editors (classic and block).<br \/>While in Wix, you have limited customizable options for your written post, and for more customization you have to use HTML codes that make it difficult for beginners.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1749632778165\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Q.

But if you\u2019re going to get a high amount of traffic or you have a large audience, it&#8217;s better to go with WordPress because of its 50k+ plugins and themes that make your work easier.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1749632790525\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Q. Is Wix easier than WordPress?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Ans. Wix is easy and beginner-friendly. Using the Wix drag and drop menu, you can easily make an attractive website. You don\u2019t need to be good at CSS or HTML. You just have to show your creativity.<br \/>While in WordPress, there are a lot of customization options, but they are not in a single window. Moreover, to customize different WordPress themes, you have to hover to different sections. Hence, not beginner-friendly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1749632806475\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Q.
