Choosing your website builder

Designhouse vs Wix

Both help you build a website with AI. Compare how you start, make everyday changes, and look after your business site once it is live.

Start with how you like to work

Your website needs to fit your working day.

Think about the first build and the next update: how would you like to explain a new service, replace a photo, or change your opening hours?

Designhouse

Describe the business. Direct the changes.

Designhouse is built around a conversation about your website. Start with what your business needs, confirm the brief, and let Designhouse create the site. Use the same approach for ongoing changes: explain what you want, review it, and publish.

See real chat editing examples

Wix Harmony

Combine AI help with visual editing.

Wix Harmony brings Aria, its AI assistant, into a visual website editor. Ask for a change, move elements yourself, or combine the two. It is worth considering if you want to work directly with the layout as well as describe changes in chat.

The work behind a business website

Compare the jobs you will actually do.

This comparison covers Designhouse and Wix Harmony, Wix's AI and visual editor.

Create the first version

Designhouse

Start with a description, an existing website, or a Google listing. The chat helps you confirm a business brief, then Designhouse builds the pages, design, copy, and images.

Wix Harmony

Describe your business or choose a template. Aria helps create pages, layouts, and content in the Wix Harmony editor.

Change services, prices, or photos

Designhouse

Ask for the change in the chat beside your site preview. Upload a photo, explain a new service, or give the updated price, then review the result.

Wix Harmony

Ask Aria to update the site, including a selected element, or use the editor's visual controls. You can upload images and files in the Aria chat.

Collect customer inquiries

Designhouse

Ask for a contact or request form and the details it should collect. Submissions appear in your dashboard, with email notifications enabled by default.

Wix Harmony

Add a form, customize its fields and settings, and manage responses in Forms & Submissions. Notification recipients can be managed there too.

Put the site online

Designhouse

The first successful build publishes to a Designhouse address. For later edits, review the preview and choose when to publish the update.

Wix Harmony

Preview the site in Harmony, then select Publish to make it live. Later saved changes go live when you publish them.

A Designhouse example

See the website, as well as the workflow.

Kettleworth Plumbing & Heating brings services, prices, and coverage together, with separate pages for emergencies and routine requests. Open the preview to explore the live site.

Plans and your own domain

Compare the plan you would actually use.

Both products let you begin free and offer paid plans for connecting your own domain. Use the current pricing pages to compare the plan and billing term that fit your business.

Designhouse plans

Hosting is included. Pro and Agency add custom domains and badge removal, with monthly credits for building and editing. The pricing page shows the current site and credit allowances.

Wix plans

Wix's paid plans include hosting and custom domain connection. Its plan range also covers business tools such as payments, online stores, and scheduling. Check the features, billing period, and local price for the plan you are considering.
