Let’s face it. Wix is like a kiddie pool. It’s splashy, it’s shiny, and sure—it’s a fun place to get your digital feet wet. But if you’re trying to swim laps, lead a synchronized dolphin ballet, or heck, run a full-scale digital network —you need something built for performance. You need HubSpot.

This isn’t a blog post about bashing Wix. Wix is great for lemonade stands, hobby bloggers, and that one cousin who thinks "SEO" is a personality type. But if you're serious about building a scalable, data-driven, revenue-generating platform, it's time to dry off and dive into something more powerful.

Let’s break down exactly why HubSpot isn’t just better—it’s essential.

Sure, Wix helps you build a decent-looking website. It gives you templates, a drag-and-drop editor, and some half-decent built-in tools. But that’s where the tide stops.

HubSpot gives you:

• A connected CRM so you actually know who your visitors are

• Automated workflows to follow up without lifting a fin

• Smart content personalization so every visitor feels like you built the site just for them

When you’re trying to attract a high volume of customers, you don’t just need web pages. You need an integrated command center.

Ever tried pulling real insights from Wix? It’s like trying to find a tuna in a tidepool. HubSpot, on the other fin, lets you track every click, every form submission, and every email open. Then it ties it all to the individual contact record in your CRM.

That means you know when Joe the Owner-Operator clicked the CTA, opened your email, watched your explainer video—and when he ghosted you. Now you know what to fix. Now you’re dangerous.

Wix does have a feature called Ascend, but calling it automation is like calling a paddleboat a speedboat. HubSpot gives you fully customizable workflows that automate emails, update contact properties, move deals through pipelines, trigger Slack alerts, and send carrier sales reps a reminder to follow up before your lead cools off like yesterday's fish.

So while you focus on building relationships, the system keeps the engine running.

Wix starts to creak when you add too many apps, custom forms, or user records. HubSpot was built for scale. Whether you’re onboarding your first 10 customers or your 10,000th, HubSpot doesn’t sweat. Add more sales reps, more properties, more segmentation—go ahead, the water’s fine.

This might be my favorite part. HubSpot lets you see how every dollar performs. You can connect ad spend to leads, leads to deals, and deals to revenue. In other words: what’s working, what’s not, and how to fix it. Good luck getting that from Wix without duct tape, prayer, and three third-party tools.

It means no more duct-taping systems together or relying on guesswork. With HubSpot, you can:

• Create separate journeys for distinct audience segments

• Track the performance of social campaigns in real time

• Automate follow-ups and form responses

• Actually trust your data (because it’s all in one place)

You’re not just upgrading your website. You’re upgrading your business strategy.

From Free to Freedom

Yes, Wix is cheap. But you know what else is cheap? Regret. Missed opportunities. Systems that break when you need them most.

Investing in HubSpot isn’t about paying more. It’s about making more—through better insights, smarter automation, and tools that actually support your vision.

So let’s get serious about your platform. Let’s build something that grows with you.

And hey, if you still miss your Wix site? We can screenshot it and frame it as a nice reminder of how far you’ve come.
