Data-Driven Content | At R. Designs we can connect to internal or external databases & populate site elements | Data integrations are only done with custom coding, most need a designer to do this. |
Access to Code When Needed | You can edit your site's element's whenever you wish, but the best part is we do all this for you so you don't have to worry! | Limited access through a few components native only to the editor, minimal ability to edit code unless you're experienced with Wix's custom Corvid. |
SEO | R. Designs done-for-you SEO & Site Maintenance Packages ensure you're getting the best out of your site & it's aligned with Google's recommended practices for speed, security, Lighthouse and SEO | Wix has a basic on page SEO tool that assists, but eventually you need to hire an SEO expert to get those most out of your site. |
