Which platform should you build on?

Wix, Wix Headless or a custom Base44 app? It mostly comes down to what your site needs to do. Answer six quick questions and I'll tell you what I'd pick, and why.

Question 1 of 6
What will your site mostly do?

The three options, in plain English

I build on all three. I'm a Wix Legend Partner, the highest of Wix's four partner levels, and a Specialist-level Base44 Partner. If none of them fits, I'll tell you what does.

Wix

Best for

Service businesses that mainly need to explain what they do and bring in enquiries, and owners who like to drag and drop.

It's the fastest to build and the easiest to edit yourself.

Wix Headless

Best for

Stores, bookings, event tickets, memberships and blogs, or any site where the design and search visibility matter a lot.

Wix runs the business side (orders, payments, bookings, content) and you manage it in a normal Wix dashboard. I build the part visitors see as a fast, custom site on top.

Base44

Best for

Custom tools: client portals, dashboards, logins with different roles, approvals, matching buyers and sellers.

It's a real web app built around how your business works, and you can keep improving it yourself by describing changes to its AI.
