What are the differences between WIX and WebAcappella FUSION?

There are a multitude of online applications offering you the chance to create and host a website for a monthly subscription fee. WIX, to name but one, is one such solution. Faced with these attractive offers, WebAcappella FUSION stands out from the crowd. Let’s take a closer look at the differences between WIX and WebAcappella FUSION.

Monthly subscription versus no-commitment option

WIX’s subscription offer is attractive, with a low introductory price that includes: a domain name, hosting and access to the application to create your website. It’s an appealing price for those on a tight budget, but you’ll quickly be limited by the technical capabilities of the package, forcing you to upgrade to the recommended plan at €17.40 per month.
With Wix, it’s important to note that you will never own your website: you cannot export it to host it elsewhere. In the event of cancellation or a payment interruption, your website will go offline and you will lose all your work.
With WebAcappella FUSION, you’re opting for unlimited use with no long-term commitment, as once you’ve purchased the software, you can create as many websites as you like and are free to choose a hosting provider – even a low-cost one – that will offer you hosting and a domain name with a personalised email address for less than €2 a month.

App versus software

WebAcappella FUSION is a user-friendly interface designed to make creating websites a breeze. You don’t need an internet connection to create your website and format your pages.
Your work in the WIX app depends on the quality and stability of your internet connection. If your connection drops, you risk losing your work.
The stability of the FUSION system, which is compatible with both Mac and Windows environments, will allow you to be more productive and work with greater peace of mind.

Clicks versus automation

To create a website that adapts to all screen sizes, WIX will require time and effort, especially if you want to stand out with a customised design. WIX does not rely on the flexibility of the Bootstrap grid system to design your website. You’ll have to make numerous clicks to adapt your site and make it responsive, which can quickly become tedious if your site has more than four or five pages.
FUSION has taken a different approach: using Bootstrap to easily automate the creation of your website and enable you to adapt it very quickly for display on all screen sizes.

And when it comes to protecting your data

As explained earlier, when you create a website with Wix, it does not belong to you – not today, not tomorrow, not ever. If you suspend your subscription, your website disappears from the web; it is impossible to use any hosting provider other than the one offered by Wix.

WIX and WebAcappella FUSION are two completely different approaches, both in terms of pricing and design philosophy.
