WordPress.com and .org: Which Is Better for Business?
WordPress.com and .org compared: costs, control, themes and plugins, which one suits a business, and how to move your site from .com to .org.
Web Design
Wix website design for small businesses that want a site they can edit themselves, without it looking like every other Wix template.
Wix websites
Rock Solid Marketing offers Wix website design for small businesses across Australia that like how easy Wix is to edit but not how their site looks or performs. Our developer Saimul Islam works across Wix along with WordPress, Shopify and Webflow, so we can tell you honestly whether Wix suits your business.
When it does, we give your site a proper structure, a design built around your brand, fast pages, clear calls to action and SEO basics set up. Then we train you to edit it yourself. The site and the Wix account stay in your name.
Full Wix sites start from $5,000 + GST on our Essentials package, and smaller fixes are $175 + GST an hour. Your first step is a free 30-minute discovery call.

Common problems
We redesign it around your brand, photos and customers, with layouts chosen for your content rather than the template's.
We trim heavy images and effects, tidy page titles and descriptions, and set up the SEO basics Wix provides.
We add clear calls to action, simple forms and contact details on every page, so the next step is obvious.
What we do
Each part makes your Wix site look like you, load fast and bring in enquiries.
Layouts, fonts and colours chosen for your business, using your own photos where possible.
A simple menu, one job per page and calls to action that lead visitors to enquire, book or buy.
Wix lets you adjust the mobile layout, so we check every page on a phone and fix what breaks.
Page titles, descriptions, headings, image text and Google Business Profile links set up properly.
A hands-on session so you can update text, photos, prices and posts without calling us.
We use Wix's accessibility tools and check contrast, headings and image text, so more people can use your site.

Four stages, with your feedback built in before anything goes live.
A free 30-minute call to scope your pages, features and budget against our website packages.
We design the site around your brand and content, with rounds of feedback along the way. Essentials includes three rounds.
We build on a content management system you can update yourself, set up the search basics and test the site on phones and desktops.
Keep the site secure and up to date with Australian hosting from $400 + GST a year and a care plan from $275 + GST a month (minimum 6 months).
How it starts
We start by asking what the site must do: bring in enquiries, take bookings, sell a few products or simply look credible. Then we check whether Wix is the right home for it. For most small service businesses it is. For large catalogues, complex integrations or custom features, another platform may serve you better.
If Wix fits, we plan the pages, design the key layouts and build them in your Wix account. You review the site on a phone and desktop before it goes live, and we train you to keep it current.
Check the platform first, then design.

Rock Solid Marketing built a new website and content management system for Aline Trading, with a complete product catalogue the team can update themselves, searchable by category, price and specification.

Rock Solid Marketing rebuilt the Shopify online store for Exposed Signage and Apparel after technical issues stalled the original build, giving the business a working way to sell its products online.
Illawarra Shoalhaven NSWRock Solid Marketing helped the Illawarra Shoalhaven Joint Organisation (ISJO) refine its messaging, redesign its website and run community campaigns to show its regional impact to councils, partners and residents.
Murray Darling regionRock Solid Marketing built the first website for Capogreco Winery Estate, a family-owned boutique winery in the Murray Darling region established in 1976, with online wine sales and an SEO foundation for regional discovery.
The estate’s first website, built around its heritage
We approached Rock Solid Marketing to build our online store for our retail division and to look after our existing website. The professionalism of Sean and his team from day one was incredible, they took the time to sit down with us to discuss our exact requirements and they offered suggestions for the build which would improve the overall running of the store.
The finished result of our online store is nothing short of fantastic- it integrates with our point of sale software, it is very easy to navigate, and presents and operates as a professionally made web store should. Since completion and hand over, the back up support we receive from Rock Solid Marketing is remarkable- nothing is too much trouble and we can contact the team at any time with any questions we may have. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sean, Janine and the team from Rock Solid Marketing for building or revamping a website, creating an online store to suit your business or with online marketing.

All FAQsWith us, a full Wix site starts from $5,000 + GST on our Essentials package, which suits up to 10 pages. Smaller fixes or a refresh of an existing Wix site are $175 + GST an hour, quoted before work starts. Your Wix plan is paid separately to Wix.
Wix website designers charge widely different prices, from small hourly jobs to full designs costing several thousand dollars. Compare what's included: the number of pages, mobile checks, SEO set-up, training and support. A cheap template swap often costs more later if the site still doesn't bring in enquiries.
Some do, especially for small businesses that want to edit their own site. Others prefer WordPress or custom builds for larger sites. We work across several platforms, so we can recommend Wix when it fits and something else when it doesn't. Platform choice should follow what your business needs.
Wix publishes its plan prices for Australian customers on its own pricing page. They change from time to time, so check there for current figures. Business plans cost more than basic ones because they include online payments. We help you choose the plan your site actually needs.
Overseas digital services sold to Australian consumers generally include GST, and business customers may handle it differently. Check your Wix invoice or ask your accountant how it applies to your business. Our design fees are quoted in Australian dollars plus GST. Keep your Wix invoices with your other business records.
Yes, Wix sites adapt to phones, but the mobile layout often needs adjusting by hand. Elements can overlap, text can be too small and some effects slow pages down. We check and fix every page on a phone before launch. Pop-ups and animations need extra care on small screens.
Plan your pages first, then pick a simple template close to your style. Use your own photos and keep one clear call to action on each page. Check every page on your phone. If you get stuck or the result doesn't feel right, a designer can refresh it without starting again.
No, we're not a Wix partner or certified Wix agency. We're a web design team whose developer works across Wix, WordPress, Shopify and Webflow, among others. That lets us give honest advice about which platform suits your business. If you're comparing a Wix website design agency with a freelance Wix web designer, ask how each handles mobile layouts and SEO.
