Wix and Squarespace designer in San Diego: when to stay, when to move
San Diego businesses search for a Wix designer or a Squarespace expert when their builder site has stopped keeping up: it is slow on phones, it does not rank, or it cannot do what the business now needs. Velour Web helps those businesses move to a custom-coded site they own, keeping the domain and, with redirects, the rankings, for $3,000 to $8,000. If your builder site is genuinely enough for now, we say so on the call.
Signs your Wix or Squarespace site is holding you back
- Mobile PageSpeed score under 70 (test it free at pagespeed.web.dev)
- Competitors with worse work outrank you for your service in your city
- You need a page for each service and city, and every page makes the site slower
- You pay for apps to do things a normal website does for free
- You want to own the site and take it anywhere
- The template looks like three other businesses in your industry
How the move works
You keep the domain. We export the content and images, design and hand-code the new site, redirect every URL that changes, connect the forms and any tools you use, and point the domain at the new site. Downtime is minutes. The builder subscription is cancelled after launch. Most moves cost $3,000 to $8,000 and take 2 to 4 weeks.
If you want to stay on Wix or Squarespace
For a single-location business ranking for its own name, a builder site can be enough. We do not take on Wix or Squarespace design work, because the platforms' speed and SEO limits cannot be fixed from inside them. What we can do is a free audit on the call that tells you whether moving would change your results.
