Platforms · Wix
Wix, taken seriously.
Wix carries an old reputation it has partly outgrown. Modern Wix renders real HTML, generates sitemaps, and exposes per-page SEO and structured-data surfaces that most owners never open. A Wix site can be findable. It usually isn’t, because the deliberate layer was never set up, and that setup is the work.
How I work on Wix
- Set up the machine layer. Structured data through Wix’s per-page SEO surfaces and code embeds, metadata done deliberately, crawler policy set on purpose.
- Audit first. A written read on what your plan tier allows and what your site is missing, before any work is sold.
- Name the ceiling honestly. Wix allows less low-level control than open platforms. Most small businesses never hit that ceiling; if your goals will, I’ll say so with specifics and map the path.
The machine layer on Wix
- Structured data ships through Wix’s own surfaces. Per-page SEO settings and code embeds carry hand-authored JSON-LD, validated on the live pages.
- Sitemaps and canonical basics are automatic. The defaults are serviceable; the deliberate layer on top is what’s missing.
- Root-file limits apply. llms.txt rides a lightweight proxy in front, as on most hosted builders.
Platform capabilities move. Before any engagement starts, I re-verify every constraint on this page against the platform’s current documentation and your actual plan tier. You get what is true at kickoff, not what was true when this page was written.
Frequently asked
Is Wix too limited to bother with?
For most local and service businesses, no. The machine layer Wix allows is far more than most Wix sites use. Where the platform does limit your specific goals, you’ll get that in writing rather than a vague upsell.
