For a small business owner, your time is worth $75–$150/hr. A 40-hour Wix build costs you $3,000–$6,000 in lost billable time — before you've gotten a single lead from it.
Wix templates are designed for photographers, bloggers, and restaurants. Small business websites need specific trust signals — licenses, service areas, job photos, lead-capture forms — that Wix templates don't include. Our templates are small-business-specific, built to convert.
You can put a contact form on Wix. But when someone submits it at 11 PM, nothing happens until you wake up and check your email. Our AI texts your leads within 60 seconds, 24/7 — before they've had a chance to fill out your competitor's form too.
Wix has basic on-page SEO tools. But publishing one new page every single day — the way our Blogging 365 and SEO 365 services do — is a completely different strategy. We add 365 new keyword-targeted pages to your site every year. Wix gives you the option to do that yourself.
"I spent three weeks trying to build my Wix site. It never looked right on mobile. My friend laughed at it. I called 1HourSites and had a professional site live in literally one hour. That was eight months ago — I've gotten 23 new roofing jobs from it."
"The missed call text back feature is insane. I miss probably 8 calls a day on a job site. Every single one gets an instant text. I closed 3 jobs last month from calls I would have completely lost before. My Wix site never did anything like that."
"I was paying Wix $35/mo for a site I was embarrassed to show people. Now I pay $297 and have a site I'm proud of, plus my Google reviews went from 12 to 67 in two months thanks to the review funnel. Best business decision I've made."
No Wix editor to learn. No 40-hour weekend project. No amateur result. Just a professional small business website built by an American team, live on a screen share — with 10 AI marketing services included for $297/mo.
