Wix, an Agency, or WebGenPro: The Best Way to Build Your Site

If you're deciding between Wix, hiring an agency, or using WebGenPro to build your business website, the short answer is: it depends on how much time you have, your budget, and how hands-on you want to be. Wix hands you the design work to do yourself; an agency delivers a fully custom result but costs more and takes weeks; WebGenPro sits in between — a professional website generated automatically from your business's real information, ready in minutes, with no technical skills required.

For the owner of a restaurant, hair salon, auto shop or clinic, the decision is rarely about which tool is "best" in the abstract — it's about which one fits your reality: limited free time, a tight budget, and the need to get online as soon as possible. Here's how the three options actually compare.

Wix: for those with time and a design eye

Wix is a drag-and-drop platform that gives you full control over every element on the page. That's an advantage if you enjoy tinkering with design — but it's also the main obstacle for most local business owners.

• Time: building a professional-looking site on Wix typically takes several days to weeks, between picking a template, writing copy, adjusting spacing, and testing on mobile.
• Skill required: you need an eye for design, patience to experiment, and some understanding of SEO — otherwise the result tends to look generic.
• Ongoing upkeep: updating hours, prices, or photos is always on you.
• Cost: the plans are affordable upfront, but the time you invest has a real cost — especially if that time could be spent serving customers instead.

An agency: for those with budget and time to wait

Hiring a web design agency or freelancer gets you a truly custom site, with someone thinking through strategy on your behalf. It's the right call when the project is complex or the budget allows it.

• Cost: typically ranges from a few hundred to several thousand euros depending on complexity — well above what most small local businesses budget for a website.
• Delivery time: weeks to months, with meetings, revisions, and approvals along the way.
• Changes after launch: any update — a new opening time, a promotion, a new photo — usually has to go back through the agency, meaning you wait, and often pay again.
• Where it genuinely pays off: if the business has very specific needs (a complex online store, an elaborate brand), the human involvement is worth the cost.

WebGenPro: a professional site ready in minutes, no hassle

WebGenPro was built for exactly the gap between these two options: you want a site with agency-level quality, without the agency price tag or the time Wix demands from you.

• Automatic generation: the site is generated in about 5 minutes from your business's real information — no writing copy or picking templates required.
• No risk to try it out: you can see a free preview with no card required, and you only pay when you decide to publish.
• Clear plans: Básico at €29/month (1-page site), Profissional at €59/month (multi-page site, better SEO, priority support), and Premium at €99/month (fully custom site, own domain included, analytics, monthly visits report, and one blog article included each month). Pay annually and save 2 months.
• No lock-in: there's no setup fee, and you can cancel anytime.
• Everything included: hosting, an SSL certificate, content updates and support are part of every plan — no need to contract anything extra just to keep the site running.
• Add-ons when you need them: an automatic SEO blog from €19/month, professional email at €5/month per mailbox, and a custom domain (new from around €50/year, or connect one you already own).

Quick comparison

• Time to go live: Wix (days/weeks) · Agency (weeks/months) · WebGenPro (minutes)
• Owner's effort required: Wix (high) · Agency (moderate, but with meetings) · WebGenPro (minimal)
• Upfront cost: Wix (low) · Agency (high) · WebGenPro (no setup fee)
• Ongoing maintenance: Wix (on you) · Agency (paid per change) · WebGenPro (included in the plan)

If switching away from Wix or an agency isn't an option right now because you've already invested time or money, it's still worth understanding how the WebGenPro process works — see the step-by-step at how it works.

Which one fits your type of business

A restaurant or café that just needs to show its menu, address, and hours quickly gains more from a site ready in minutes than from weeks spent wrestling with a template. A hair salon or clinic that depends on bookings benefits from a site that's always up to date without having to ask someone else to touch the code. An auto shop that just needs to show up well on Google and build trust doesn't need to pay agency prices to get there. In each of these cases, WebGenPro covers the actual need without Wix's time cost or an agency's financial cost.

Conclusion

There's no universal answer — but there is an answer for your situation. If you have time, an eye for design, and no rush, Wix can work. If the project is complex and the budget allows it, an agency delivers a truly custom result. For most local businesses that need to get online quickly, with professional quality and without technical hassle or high costs, WebGenPro is the most direct path.
