WHY WIX IS PERFECT FOR SMALL BUSINESS WEBSITES

If you’ve ever tried to DIY your website and ended up crying over a layout that won’t center... you’re not alone. 🙋♀️
Every small business owner hits that point where they realize their website needs to look as professional as they are — but without needing a full-time web developer or a PhD in code. Enter Wix, the platform I use for nearly every client at Myliu Marketing.
I’ve tested a lot of platforms over the years — WordPress, Squarespace, Showit — and while they all have their place, Wix wins for small business owners who want something that’s beautiful, strategic, and functional without the tech headaches.
1. It’s designed for real people (not just techies)
Wix makes it easy for you to make small edits after launch — updating photos, swapping text, even adding a new service page — without breaking your entire site. That means no more panicked texts to your designer (hi, it’s me 👋) every time you want to update your pricing or add a testimonial.

2. It gives you creative freedom (without chaos)
As a designer, I love that Wix lets me build something completely custom — no rigid templates, no cookie-cutter layouts. Every client site I create looks and feels like them, not like “just another Wix website.”
That means your brand personality actually gets to show up online — fun, polished, approachable, whatever your vibe is.
3. It’s built to grow with your business
Whether you’re adding a blog, launching a new offer, or upgrading to online bookings, Wix scales with you. You don’t need to scrap your site and st
art over every time you level up (which is a huge win for service-based businesses who evolve fast).
4. SEO and mobile optimization? Done and done.
Wix has come a long way in the SEO world — and yes, Google loves it now. You can easily update meta titles, descriptions, and alt text, plus every site automatically gets a mobile-friendly version. So whether your dream client is Googling you from her laptop or scrolling Instagram from her phone, you’ll look good either way.
5. It saves time, money, and sanity
No plugins to constantly update. No surprise glitches that take your site down. No waiting on a developer to make a simple change. Just a clean, functional site that you can manage confidently after we wrap.
At the end of the day, small businesses need websites that work — not websites that make them work harder.
If you’re ready for a site that looks as good as it feels, check out our Signature Experience or explore all of our services. Your dream brand deserves a website that shows it off beautifully — and Wix makes that totally possible.

![🥹 Guys I want to cry about this one -
To kick off this sappy caption, Molly is an absolute rock star of a human being and I am 100% a better person because of her 🤍
@bookkeepingbymolly has been an internet friend of mine for about a year now and I straight up just asked her one day that when she was ready for a rebrand, if I could do it for her.. and ofc, she said yes 💍
Throughout our friendship and time working together she has let me: email her late-night (bcuz working moms lol), take creative control, and allowed me to just be so authentically myself.
(If you guys saw our DMs you’d think we’ve been friends for decades lol.)
She is such a hard worker, an amazing mom and a fantastic business owner. If you’re looking for bookkeeping, please inquire on her website 😉
All of this to say, I’m so proud to be this little piece of her journey and I can’t wait to watch her keep kicking ass 🤍
www.bookkeepingbymolly.com is now live everywhere 🥰
Love you to bits, Molly 🤍
[I hope to do another post soon on what went into this logo suite, but I just adore the concept of taking a business owners messy books and untangling them to where they can make empowered decisions.]
