Get Off Wix.
You're paying $20–50 a month for a website builder. Your website could cost $0–5 a month on modern hosting. We'll handle the migration.
Website builders got expensive. You just didn't notice.
Wix starts at $17/month. Squarespace at $16. GoDaddy at $10—but the plan you actually need costs $22. Add a custom domain, remove their branding, get basic analytics, connect an online store—and suddenly you're at $30, $40, $50 a month. For a website.
That's $360–600 a year. And the price goes up every renewal. They know you won't migrate because they've made it hard to leave. Your content is locked in their editor, your domain is registered through them, your SEO is tied to their platform.
It doesn't have to be this way.
A modern website doesn't need
a monthly subscription.

We handle the migration.
You don't need to learn HTML or set up a server. That's our job.
Assess
We look at your current site—what platform it's on, what it does, what you actually need. Most business websites are simpler than people think. We'll tell you exactly which hosting option fits.
Rebuild
We recreate your site on the new platform. Same look, same content, same functionality—often better performance and SEO. We transfer your domain, set up SSL, configure email forwarding.
Launch
We switch your DNS, verify everything works, and walk you through the new setup. If you need to edit content, we make sure you know how. Zero downtime. No broken links.
Support
We don't disappear after launch. Need a change? Have a question? We're here. Ongoing support so you're never stuck.
We run our own infrastructure. We know this works.
The website you're reading right now runs on our own servers. No Wix. No AWS. No third-party hosting. We built it with the same tools we recommend to our clients—because we actually use them.
We're not a marketing agency that outsources the technical work. We're engineers who set up servers, configure DNS, optimize performance, and maintain infrastructure every day. When we say your site will be faster and cheaper, it's because we've done it ourselves.
