Wix vs Squarespace
Wix or Squarespace is one question asked two ways, and the honest answer turns on how much of the building you want to do yourself. Both are site builders you drive; rowbo is the third option, where the pages are built for you from your Google listing. Free to look, no card.
Wix or Squarespace?
Both are builders you drive yourself, billed by the year, so the real choice is how you like to work. Wix lets you drag any element anywhere, which suits an owner who wants to move every block and does not mind the time it takes. Squarespace keeps you inside templates that hold their shape, so a quick edit still looks tidy and you fiddle with it less. Reach for Wix if you want that control, and Squarespace if you want it to look designed with less effort.

Wix and Squarespace figures are the UK list prices, billed annually, from our August pricing research; the Squarespace ones are before VAT. Ours is £30 a month, billed monthly.
What you get for £30 a month
- A real multi-page website, built from the Google listing you already have.
- Your own .com, registered and pointed at it, in the price.
- Hosting and updates, so there is nothing else to renew and nothing to install.
- Your photos, your hours, your services and your reviews, already on the page.
- Change anything yourself, or ask the AI chat: the words, the photos, the colours, a whole new page.
- A site Google can index and ChatGPT can read.
- Live in a couple of minutes, and free to look at before you keep it.
- No setup fee, no minimum term, and you can cancel any month.
- A price one extra customer a week covers, with nothing else to pay for.
- Our estimate: around 10 more customers a month. Based on typical monthly searches for a local business in a UK town and what a page-one result gets.
Why owners pick rowbo
There is a third answer to Wix or Squarespace, which is not building it at all. When somebody searches for what you do, they open a website and decide from it. That page can come off the Google listing you already have. rowbo reads your photos, your hours and your reviews off that listing and builds the pages. They go on your own .com, at £30 a month, with the hosting and the updates in it. Change a price in the editor, or tell the AI chat, and it is done in the time it takes to type it. No template to fill in, and no weekend spent laying one out. And once the pages are live we show you where you stand, with the date on it. There is a free scan today, then a plain report every month, so it is a number you can read rather than a guess.
If you want to lay out every page by hand, Wix and Squarespace are built for exactly that, and rowbo builds the pages for you instead.
