Looking for a Wix Studio alternative?
Most Wix Studio alternative searches start when the freelancer who built the site raises rates, slows down, or disappears.
WorkspaceCMS breaks that cycle: 1Digital's team rebuilds your site free, gets you live in days, and handles every update after, no per-change invoices. Live on Studio today? We take it over for free, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Comparing regular Wix? See WorkspaceCMS vs Wix.
Who WorkspaceCMS is for
WorkspaceCMS is built for local service businesses (dentists, HVAC companies, law firms, med spas, roofers, plumbers) who inherited a professionally built site and need it professionally run.
If you're the freelancer's client — holding a Studio site you can't maintain and invoices you can't predict — WorkspaceCMS was built for you.

WorkspaceCMS vs Wix Studio: common questions
What's the difference between Wix and Wix Studio?
Regular Wix is the consumer DIY builder. Wix Studio is Wix's professional platform for agencies and freelancers, a more powerful design environment with responsive layouts, client billing, and team workspaces. Business owners usually don't choose Wix Studio; a freelancer or agency chooses it for them. We compare against consumer Wix separately on our vs Wix page.
Is WorkspaceCMS cheaper than Wix Studio?
Wix Studio site plans run roughly $19 to $159 a month, so the software is cheaper. But a Studio site normally comes with a professional attached: the freelancer or agency who built it and bills for changes. WorkspaceCMS starts at $89 a month with the build for free and the team included, replacing the software bill and the freelancer invoices with one flat price.
My freelancer built our site on Wix Studio and is unavailable. Can you take it over?
That's exactly the situation this page is for. We don't take over the Studio account. We rebuild your site for free on WorkspaceCMS, using your existing content and branding, and run it from there with a staffed team. Your domain stays yours and old links keep working.
Can I migrate my Wix Studio site's content to WorkspaceCMS?
Yes, as part of the free rebuild. Our team pulls over your pages, copy, images, and business details, rebuilds them on WorkspaceCMS, and gives you an approval pass before anything goes live. You don't need your old freelancer's cooperation. The live site and your domain are enough to start.
Is there a contract with WorkspaceCMS?
Plans start with a 12-month commitment, which is what funds the free build, then go month-to-month. Every plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, so the first month is risk-free.
Who owns the site and content on each platform?
On Wix Studio, sites are often created inside the freelancer's or agency's workspace and transferred (or not) later, so ownership depends on how your arrangement was set up. On WorkspaceCMS the relationship is direct: your content is yours and yours to export in full whenever you ask.
Will my rankings survive the switch from Wix Studio?
Protecting them is part of the process. We map your existing pages, set up redirects so old links keep working, carry over your content, and build your site so Google and AI understand your business, which most Studio sites never get. Nothing cuts over without your approval.
How fast can WorkspaceCMS launch my site?
Most sites go live within a few business days for the full build-out. That includes design, copywriting, SEO setup, and your approval round before anything goes live.
Your Studio site was built by a pro, but can AI find it?
ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity only recommend sites they can read — and most small-business sites fail that test. Scan yours free and see exactly where you stand.
