Short version: Wix is a powerful general-purpose website builder, and if you want a multi-page site with online booking and a gallery for every project, use it. Amty exists for the contractor who has tried the drag-and-drop editor, lost an evening to it, and still doesn't have a site.
An honest comparison starts with what we don't do.
| Dimension | Amty | Wix |
|---|---|---|
| Time to a live site | 15–30 minutes: pick a theme, fill in a form, deploy. | Hours to days — a blank editor with hundreds of decisions, then mobile-layout fixes. |
| Design risk | None. Fields have tuned limits, so the layout can't break — it looks designed because it was. | The editor lets you build anything, including something that looks homemade. Most DIY Wix sites do. |
| Price for a working site | Build free; $9/mo (or $99/yr) to publish at your amty.page address with leads inbox, alerts, and custom domain. | Free tier shows Wix ads on your site; a usable plan with your domain starts around $17/mo. |
| Lead capture | Every site includes a contact form with a leads inbox and instant email alerts — it's the point of the product. | Forms exist, but lead management means wiring up Wix's CRM tools yourself. |
| Maintenance | Zero. Static pages on Cloudflare's edge — nothing to update, nothing to break. | Low, but the editor invites endless tinkering, and app integrations occasionally need attention. |
| Multi-page sites & galleries | Not offered. One page, one job. | Fully supported — pages, galleries, blogs, booking. |
| Room to grow into e-commerce | None. If you'll sell products online, Amty is the wrong tool. | Full online store support on higher plans. |
If your business needs a real web presence — the thing a homeowner checks before returning your call — Amty gets you there tonight from $9/mo, with lead capture built in. If you genuinely need galleries, booking, or a store, pay for Wix and budget the setup weekend. The mistake is choosing Wix's power and then never finishing the site; a live one-pager beats an abandoned draft every time a client searches your name.
Building your site is free — pick a theme, add your content, and see exactly how it looks before paying anything. Publishing it live is $9/month or $99/year, with no ads and no badge, on your own yourcompany.amty.page address (or a domain you own), plus the leads inbox and instant email alerts. Compare that to Wix, whose free tier puts Wix ads on a wixsite.com address.
There's no importer, and honestly you won't need one: an Amty site is a form with your services, credentials, and contact details. Copy those out of your Wix pages, paste them in, upload your best project photo, and you're live in half an hour — usually less time than a Wix editing session.
Less than you'd think. Homeowners checking you out want your trades, license, service area, and proof of quality — one scroll covers all of it. What you give up is a page-per-service SEO strategy and photo galleries; if those matter to your marketing, that's a real reason to choose Wix or hire a web firm.
Whichever site exists and answers the homeowner's questions. Amty's edge is that every site ships with a contact form, a leads inbox, and instant email alerts — and that it's easy enough that the site actually gets finished. A finished one-pager with a working form beats a half-built five-pager with your ad budget attached.
Building your Amty site is free and takes half an hour — publish from $9/mo when you like it. If it isn't enough site for you, Wix will still be there.
