Wix charges $29 a month forever for a template that looks like every other Wix site. Zebra builds you a real custom-designed website for $500 flat — you own the code, host it anywhere, and never pay a monthly template subscription again.

Our approach
Every small business shopping for a website starts at Wix. Then they realise they'll pay $348+ per year, forever, for a website that looks like everyone else's. And they still can't move the site somewhere cheaper without rebuilding it from scratch. That's the trap Zebra was built to solve. $500 one-time, custom-designed, delivered in 10 business days, and yours to move anywhere — including keeping the code and self-hosting for free after year one.

Frequently asked
For text and image swaps, they're identical — every Zebra site ships with a simple admin panel (Payload CMS) where you edit content the same way. The difference is Wix locks that admin to their platform; ours is yours to keep.
Yes — this is our most common request. Same $500 flat. We rebuild your site with a fresh custom design, transfer your content, and set up 301 redirects from old Wix URLs so you keep your Google ranking. Old Wix account cancelable the day we launch.
You'd stop paying at renewal. You keep your Wix domain — we point it at the new Zebra site. No wasted time on your existing paid plan.
Wix at $29/mo × 5 years = $1,740. Zebra: $500 upfront + optional $180/yr hosting × 4 years = $1,220. Or self-host after year 1: $500 total forever. Either way, cheaper — and you own it.
Volume + workflow. We've shipped 90+ small business websites using the same design system, so a 5-page site takes us days, not weeks. About 40% of our clients also add our $500/mo social media package, which is where the recurring revenue lives.
Same problem — you get an AI-generated template that looks like all the other AI-generated templates. Zebra ships a design a human made for your specific business.
