Looking for a DIY website builder?
KC Marketing Agency has been creating websites for over 20 years. Our go-to platform has been WordPress as its easy to customize both in design & functionality. However we’ve been receiving requests from clients that prefer a do-it-yourself option and found WordPress difficult to learn and edit. We wanted to provide another option for our DIY clients, which led to the start of our “KC Site Builder”. KC Site Builder is a great easy to use site builder like WIX & Square Space. We will be comparing our Site Builder to other site builders but wanted to start with WIX.
SEO: Which website builder handles SEO better?
Our platform is designed and built to be aligned with Google’s recommended practices for speed, security, and SEO. This includes fast content rendering for higher Google Lighthouse test scores, intuitive access to on-page SEO settings such as keywords and descriptions, automatic SSL encryption and sitemap generation.
In recent years, Wix has added basic on-page SEO capabilities for modifying meta tags, setting canonical URLs, and other basic SEO features.
Access to code: How deeply can you get into the underlying HTML, CSS, JavaScript?
Our Developer Mode gives you access to view, edit and change your website’s HTML, CSS and JavaScript for advanced customization when desired.
Standard Wix sites do not allow designer or developer access to the underlying code that drives the Wix site. As such, businesses are not able to modify or optimize fundamental code elements like CSS or JavaScript on standard Wix websites. Wix has recently added a more detailed development environment called Corvid that does make some developer-level features available.
Main Differences Between Wix vs KC Site Builder
The main differences between Wix vs KC Site Builder are:

- Wix can be a little slower, whereas KC Site Builder is better for getting higher core web vital scores
