Part of our guide: Why is my website not getting enquiries?.
Written by Dan Sagar, FoundationsAI. Updated October 2026.
If you just want a good-looking website and you're happy to build it yourself, Wix or Squarespace is cheaper. If you want your website, enquiries, phone number and booking in one place, and a site built to be found, FoundationsAI does more, and we can build it for you.

When Wix or Squarespace is the better choice
- You want a simple site and you're happy to build and update it yourself.
- You already have a CRM and booking system you're happy with.
- Keeping the monthly cost down matters more than your time right now.
When FoundationsAI is the better choice
- You'd rather someone built the site for you, with a page for each service and area.
- You want your website, enquiries, phone number and booking in one place.
- You lose work when you're slow to reply, and want missed calls texted back and quotes followed up, which is our Pro plan.
A cheap site can still cost you work
Whichever you pick, a small site with four or five pages rarely gets found, because there's nothing for Google or ChatGPT to show when someone searches for your service in their town. See what a trades website really costs.

Common questions
Is Wix good for a trades business?
For a simple site you build yourself, yes. It won't text back missed calls or chase quotes for you, and it's only as easy to find as the pages you write.
Can I move my Wix or Squarespace site to FoundationsAI?
Your words, photos and domain can come with you, and we can rebuild the site for you on the we-build option. The site itself can't be copied across automatically.
Which is cheapest?
Wix, from £9 a month. FoundationsAI costs more because it includes a CRM, a business phone number, booking and setup help as well as the website.
