In today's business landscape, a corporate website serves as the "face" of a company and is a critical asset. Choosing the right tool to build your site is not only about design flexibility or operational costs—it’s a strategic decision that can significantly impact future business growth.
This article compares two no-code tools: the globally popular Wix and the Japanese-born STUDIO. We’ll also briefly explore Webflow as an advanced option for full-scale website operations. We hope this helps you choose the right platform for your business.
Comparing Wix and STUDIO
Let’s start by looking at the basic features of each tool.
What is Wix?
Wix is a no-code website builder that allows anyone to create a website through intuitive drag-and-drop functionality—no technical knowledge required. With over 160 million users worldwide and more than 900 design templates, Wix offers an all-in-one solution, including hosting, basic SEO tools, and a feature-rich app market. It’s particularly popular among beginners and small businesses that need to build a website quickly and affordably.
What is STUDIO?
STUDIO is a no-code website builder developed in Japan, known for its exceptional design freedom. Its interface resembles professional design tools like Figma and Adobe XD, enabling the creation of highly original brand websites. As a product of a Japanese company, it also offers robust support for Japanese typography and native language customer service.

Which is Best for Corporate Website Management?
More than just cost, functionality and long-term viability matter when choosing a platform.
Functionality
- Wix: Features a rich app marketplace to add functions like booking and e-commerce. However, these apps are built by third parties, which may create security, compatibility, and support issues.
- STUDIO: No external apps. All features are integrated, offering stability and security with minimal risk.
Team Collaboration
Corporate websites often require teamwork.
- Wix (Wix Studio): Offers real-time co-editing on the same page, ideal for large teams. Role-based permissions available.
- STUDIO: Allows inviting collaborators, managing payments, and setting permissions for owners, editors, and guests.
Portability & Vendor Lock-in
- Wix: Some content (images, CMS data) can be exported, but site structure/design cannot.
- STUDIO: No option for code export or CMS data export.
Lack of data/code export means vendor lock-in, which becomes a risk if the provider raises prices or shuts down.
Staging/Test Environment
- Wix: Allows creation of test sites to try changes before going live.
- STUDIO: Provides a staging environment for testing changes safely before publishing.
Version Control
- Wix & STUDIO: Do not support Git-like versioning with branching or merging.
Japanese Language Support
- Wix: Has a Japan office and offers support in Japanese through a help center and callback system.
- STUDIO: As a Japanese product, it offers native-level Japanese support, especially via fast-response chat.
For More Advanced Site Operations, Consider Webflow
While Wix and STUDIO are excellent tools, those seeking greater control and scalability should consider Webflow.
Why Webflow?
- No Plugin Dependency: Core functions are built-in, reducing compatibility and security risks.
- Hosting & Security: High-performance hosting is included—no server management required.
