Joyvo
vs
Wix
Wix hands you a template. Joyvo hands you a studio — AI coding, image generation, voiceover, a database, and a CRM that captures every visitor.
Design a better site. Own it. Keep all your leads. One bill.

Migrate in 1-2 hours for typical Wix site
- 1Export your Wix content (pages, images, products) — we provide a Wix connector that reads via the public API.
- 2Our AI regenerates each page as real HTML + CSS + JS with your brand colors and typography.
- 3Review + tweak in the visual editor (block-based, Gutenberg-compatible).
- 4Point your domain at our servers — we issue the SSL cert automatically.
- 5Your CRM contacts from Wix Ascend import via CSV in one click.
When to choose Wix instead
We're not right for everyone. Here's when Wix is the better pick:
- •You already have a polished Wix site and zero desire to migrate — Wix works.
- •You only need the most basic 3-page brochure site and don't care about extending it with features.
- •You strictly do not want any AI involvement in your site.
Common questions
Will my Wix site look the same after migration?+
We preserve layout, colors, typography, and content. The AI regenerates the underlying code into a modern stack (Next.js), so performance is dramatically faster — but the visual design matches.
What about my Wix apps and integrations?+
Common integrations (Stripe payments, email capture, reviews, chat widgets) have direct equivalents on our platform, often built-in. For Wix-specific apps with no equivalent, our AI can custom-build the feature as part of the migration.
Do I keep my Wix domain?+
Yes. We handle DNS and SSL. Your visitors never notice the switch except that the site loads faster. You can also keep the Wix version running until you're confident — we don't touch your Wix account.
Is it really cheaper?+
At $20 we're $3 more than Wix Basic but we don't show ads and you get real AI coding. At $49 we're $29/mo less than Wix Unlimited + Ascend CRM. At Business tier, $149 vs $208 for equivalent Wix — plus you can export code and self-host if you ever want to.
What if I rely on Wix for e-commerce?+
We ship a full Shopify-style storefront generator, Stripe Connect for charging cards, products + variants + inventory. Migration from Wix Stores is straightforward — export products, import via CSV.
