Wix gives you a generic website builder with booking as an add-on. IDKWebsites was built from the ground up for appointment businesses, with scheduling, client management, and reminders all included.
For salons, clinics, coaches, and appointment-based businesses
Drag to compare how IDKWebsites elevates your online presence vs Wix.
Wix lets you build almost anything. That's its strength and its problem. You get a blank canvas, hundreds of templates, and a drag-and-drop editor. Then you spend hours trying to make it all look right.
Booking is available as a paid add-on, but it's not the core of the platform. Wix was built for general websites, not for businesses that live and die by their calendar. Client management, SMS reminders, and intake forms all require extra tools or third-party apps.
The DIY approach works if you enjoy building websites. Most salon owners, therapists, and coaches don't. They want to show up, see their schedule, and know their clients got a reminder.
IDKWebsites skips the blank canvas entirely. You tell us your business type, your services, and your hours. We build your site, connect your booking, and launch it. The whole thing takes less than a day.
No templates to browse. No plugins to research. No design decisions to second-guess. Just a professional site with booking built in, running for $59/mo.
Yet Another Subscription
Wix handles part of the job, but you still need to pay for a website, a domain, a CRM, and reminders separately. Those subscriptions add up fast.

Not All-in-One
A booking link is not an online presence. Potential clients want to see your business before they commit. Without a professional site, many just keep scrolling.
See the Difference
Hidden Costs
SMS reminders, integrations, extra features... they all cost more. By the time you have what you need, you're paying more than an all-in-one platform that already includes it.
Compare the Pricing
One platform vs. piecing it together yourself.
The stats are clear: people choose businesses that let them book instantly. IDKWebsites makes that simple.
Prefer Online Booking
According to GetApp (2024), 94% of consumers are more likely to choose a provider that offers online booking.
Skip if They Can't Book
According to Zippia (2023), 69% of consumers won't book with a business that doesn't offer online scheduling.
Book After Hours
According to Appointlet (2024), 46% of appointments are booked outside business hours. Without 24/7 booking, you lose nearly half.
Wix only covers part of the job. Then you need a website, a domain, SMS reminders, and something to manage clients. Those bills add up every single month.

Everything you need in one platform
We tripled our online consultations in the first month. The booking system alone paid for itself. Clients tell us they chose our firm because the website made us look established and easy to work with.
Wix is a generic website builder where you design everything yourself and add booking as a paid add-on. IDKWebsites builds your site for you with scheduling, client management, and reminders already included. No dragging, no designing, no extra subscriptions.
Wix has a free plan but it shows Wix ads on your site and doesn't include a custom domain. To use Wix Bookings with a professional setup, you need a Business plan starting at $17/mo plus the booking add-on. The real monthly cost with everything you need usually lands between $30 and $50.
