Can you work on an existing Wix site?
Sometimes. If the platform blocks the changes you need, we will say so and quote a custom rebuild instead of fighting the editor.
Wix vs hire a designer
Wix is evenings after work. A designer ships the site.
The real cost of Wix is not the subscription. It is the weeks you spend fighting the editor, then launching a site that still hides the phone number. Hiring StonksGoUp is $999 one time for a focused custom build — about three weeks from kickoff if content comes back on time.

Questions
When Wix is enough — and when it is not.
This is not “builders are bad.” It is “your time has a price, and the site has a job.”
Is $999 cheaper than Wix?
Wix looks cheaper in month one. The $999 build is a project price. Add a Wix plan for a few years plus the hours you spend on it, and the comparison flips for most service businesses. Numbers for our side are on pricing.
Will I own what you build?
Yes. Domain, site files, content, and connected accounts remain yours.
What if I only need a one-page site?
Say that on the assessment form. A focused page still has to explain the offer and take the call. We will not pad the scope to hit a page count.
