Comparisons

QuikWebsites compared with other website builders

By Jakob Rubenstein, founder of QuikWebsites · Updated

Short answer: The main difference is who does the design. With Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Hostinger, Framer, Webflow and WordPress, you (or a designer) build the site in an editor. With QuikWebsites you describe your business, get a finished site art-directed for it, with a cinematic scroll video hero, and change anything by typing a sentence. QuikWebsites costs $19/month for one page or $49/month for unlimited pages, hosting included.

Head-to-head comparisons

When QuikWebsites is the wrong choice

  • Large online stores with hundreds of products, inventory and shipping rules: use Shopify.
  • People who want to place every pixel by hand on a free-form canvas: use Webflow or Framer.
  • A permanently free website on a subdomain: your first QuikWebsites build is free, but a published site needs a paid plan.
