Feature-by-feature

Feature	MeridianWeb	Wix
Pricing model	Flat-fee, one quote upfront	Day-rate or hourly
SEO at build	Six-pillar framework baked in	Bolt-on, billed extra
Code ownership	Client owns from day 1	Vendor lock-in, fees to migrate
Theme system	Dark + light, theme-aware tokens	Often dark-only or template-bound
Time to live	10–14 days for Starter	4–8 weeks
Team	Senior delivery, no juniors	Mixed seniority pool

Verdict

MeridianWeb wins on every axis Wix users actually care about — except DIY editing. The £249 Starter tier closes that gap too.
