An honest look at where ChilledSites outperforms Wix — and where Wix still has an edge.
ChilledSites uses AI to build your entire website from a plain-English description. No dragging, no dropping, no fiddling with layouts. Describe your business — the AI handles the design, copy, and structure in under a minute.
At £29/year, ChilledSites is up to ten times cheaper than Wix's equivalent plans. There are no monthly fees, no hidden extras, and no price hikes after year one. Everything — hosting, forms, analytics — is included.
Most Wix sites take hours or even days to get right. With ChilledSites, you describe your business, the AI builds the site, and it's live — all in under 60 seconds. Perfect if you need to get online quickly without a steep learning curve.
Wix offers 900+ professionally designed templates and gives you granular control over every element on the page. If you need a complex e-commerce store, an extensive app marketplace, or want to spend time hand-crafting every detail, Wix is more suited to that use case. ChilledSites is deliberately simpler and faster.
Different tools for different people. Here's where each one shines.
Answers to the questions we get asked most often when comparing ChilledSites and Wix.
Yes. ChilledSites Pro costs £29/year — a single annual payment. Wix's equivalent plans run from £14 to £26 per month, which works out to £168–312 per year. That's a saving of £139–283 every year with ChilledSites.
None whatsoever. You describe your business in plain English — the AI generates the website. No coding, no design skills, and no drag-and-drop editor to learn. If you can write a sentence, you can use ChilledSites.
Yes. Contact forms are included in the Pro plan at no extra cost. On Wix, form capabilities vary by plan and some features require additional apps.
You can edit your site after it's generated — tweak the content, colours, and layout directly in the editor. You can also regenerate sections or the whole site with a different prompt until you're happy.
Yes. ChilledSites Pro supports custom domains. You buy the domain from a registrar of your choice (such as Namecheap or GoDaddy) and connect it to your ChilledSites project.
ChilledSites is currently best suited to brochure and lead-generation websites — the kind most small businesses need. If you require a full e-commerce store with product management, a checkout, and order processing, Wix or Shopify may be more appropriate for now.
There's no automated migration tool, but most small business websites can be recreated from scratch with ChilledSites in minutes. Simply describe your business and let the AI build a fresh version — often better than the original.
