Website builders
Cliux vs Wix
Pick Cliux if you build sites for clients and want one console, per-site client access and flat agency pricing with no commission on sales. Pick Wix if you want a template and app catalogue of more than 900 templates and 750 apps by its own count, AI site generation and a domain registered in the same place.
In Wix’s own words: “Create your site for free and choose a plan when you're ready.”

Moving over
How a move from Wix works
There is no import tool. This is what a switch involves, step by step.
There is no import tool. Open your Wix site beside a new Cliux site and rebuild each page on the canvas; your text and images copy across, the layout is redrawn.
Recreate the pieces your site sells or collects with the built-in apps: store products, booking services, blog posts and forms.
Publish on your free Cliux address, share the password-protected preview with whoever signs off, and keep the Wix site live until you are happy.
Point your own domain at Cliux: two DNS records, and the certificate is issued for you; the Cliux address keeps working beside it.

Yes. In the agency console a Site user or Site guest reaches only the sites you grant, while owners and admins reach every site. Wix Studio offers site-specific roles for teammates as well.
A site is free to build and preview; publishing it is $192 a year on the Website plan, and selling starts on Business at $348 a year. An agency buys each client site's plan at its workspace discount; Pro and Scale add seats and white label. Wix has a free plan that publishes on a Wix address.
No AI generation. You start from one of the design themes crossed with a site type and change anything on the canvas. Wix offers AI website creation and more than 900 templates.
No. There is no import tool; a move is a rebuild on the canvas. The built-in apps cover the store, bookings, blog and forms, so the pieces exist, but the pages are redrawn by hand.
Get started
Build it on the canvas, then decide.
Building and previewing costs nothing. Publishing on your own domain is $192 a year on the Website plan, and selling starts on Business.
