When Wix makes sense

Choose Wix if you want to design every detail yourself, plan to add an online store or many custom pages, and have the time to learn the editor. Its free plan is useful for trying the editor, but Wix says free sites show Wix branding and ads and use a wixsite.com address, so most speakers will need a paid plan before sharing the site with planners.

When Speakerfolio makes sense

Choose Speakerfolio if you want a finished speaker website without building it. We write the copy from your LinkedIn profile, add your talks, stage video and testimonials, and set up a booking form, with no ads even on the free plan. You also get a profile in the Speakerfolio directory, so planners can find you by topic.

The real cost

On Wix, removing ads and connecting your own domain starts with the Light plan at $17 a month billed yearly, before your time to design and write the site. On Speakerfolio, the free plan costs nothing, and Premium on your own domain is $500 a year with hosting included, currently $100 for the first year.

Questions

Is Speakerfolio cheaper than Wix?

For a speaker website, usually yes. Speakerfolio's free plan has no ads, while Wix's free plan shows Wix branding and ads. For your own domain, Wix starts at $17 a month billed yearly; Speakerfolio Premium is $500 a year with hosting and the build included, $100 for the first year with the launch offer.

Can I move from Wix to Speakerfolio?

Yes. Send us your LinkedIn profile and your current site, and we bring your bio, talks, video and testimonials into a new Speakerfolio site. If you have your own domain, Premium can use it.

Does Wix have a speaker directory?

No. Wix builds websites but does not list you anywhere planners search. Every Speakerfolio speaker can be listed in our directory.
