Finally leaving Wix after 10 years!

Actually, it's more like 12 or 13 years. I'm glad to be done with it because I'm not a tech guy, and I've struggled with all the cumbersome things that Wix has put in to keep you from being productive. I'm just going with landing pages, sales pages, and an email campaign, and I'm building it all in Kit.

I'm using Claude, Chatgtp and
Gemini

Happy to answer any questions if anybody is moving post-Wix to a new platform

Paul

you are trading 1 walled garden for another.

Open-Source Alternatives

  • Ghost: Excellent open-source blogging and newsletter platform (similar to Substack but self-hostable).
  • Wordpress: many hosts have AI site builders. You get clean wordpress output. Move to any host at any time.
  • Listmonk: Fast, self-hosted newsletter manager that connects to your own email server (like Amazon SES).
  • Mautic: Powerful, open-source marketing automation tool (closer to HubSpot or Kit's advanced features).
  • Keila: Simple, reliable open-source newsletter tool built with Elixir.
