Wix is popular and packed with templates, but it's easy to get lost and the template you pick stays locked in. Vivlab gives you a visual editor that's just as free, built for French entrepreneurs, with e-commerce and statistics included.

Wix doesn't charge commission either, so what's the difference?
True, neither Wix nor Vivlab take a commission. The difference shows up elsewhere: Vivlab is built for French entrepreneurs, with a 100% French interface and support, cookieless statistics, and a clearer editor.
Can you switch templates on Wix?
No: once your Wix site is published on a template, you can't switch without rebuilding everything. Vivlab builds your pages from blocks, freely and at any time.
Wix has more templates, right?
Yes, its library is huge. But plenty of users find the tool overloaded. Vivlab favors a clean editor that gets straight to the point, with polished, responsive results.
Do my statistics need a cookie banner?
On Wix, standard tracking means a cookie banner. Vivlab offers privacy-first statistics, cookieless and GDPR-compliant.
