How much does Zorva Labs cost?

$57 per month, all-in. That includes the custom website build (no setup fee), domain registration with DNS management, Zorva Edge hosting, SSL, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and monthly content changes. Larger custom work is billed at $33/hour, always quoted upfront.

Does Zorva Labs handle SEO and AI search optimization?

Yes — every site we build comes with on-page SEO and AI search optimization (AIO, AEO, GEO) baked in. That covers schema markup, llms.txt, structured FAQs, conversational headings, and the entity graph that ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity rely on. Zorva Grow adds high-authority backlinks as a $257/month add-on.

Is the website really free?

Yes. We design and build your custom 3-page website at no upfront cost — it's bundled into the $57/month plan. As long as you stay subscribed, your site is live and maintained.

How long does it take to launch a website?

Most websites are live within 7 days. We request your content on day 1, send a preview by day 4, and launch after your approval.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — no contracts, cancel from your Stripe portal anytime. We do ask for a 90-day minimum after launch to cover the initial build cost.

Why not just use Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress?

Those builders look cheap but cost more once you add apps, plugins, hosting, and your own time to build. Wix Business with apps runs $72/mo. WordPress with hosting and plugins runs $60/mo plus your time. And the sites are template-driven, hard to customize, and don't get optimized for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity. Plus, you have to build it yourself or pay a developer.

What kind of website changes are included?

Text edits, photo swaps, hours and price updates, contact info changes, small layout tweaks, and any change under 15 minutes — all included. Larger projects like new pages, redesigns, or integrations are quoted at $33/hour.

Where is Zorva Labs based?

Zorva Labs is based in Nashville, Tennessee. We serve small businesses across the United States and Canada.

Yes. You own your domain, the source code, the design, your logo, your content, and your brand. If you ever leave Zorva Labs, you take everything with you intact — no rebuild required. Unlike Wix, Squarespace, or most agencies, there's no vendor lock-in.

Zorva Labs vs Wix

Drag-and-drop website builder · $17–$59/mo · ~250M+ users

Wix is the most-installed website builder on the planet, and for a lot of side projects or first-ever sites that's exactly right. Where it falls apart: SEO, speed, ownership, and what happens when you actually need an edit. Here's the side-by-side, with no salesy stretching.

Where Wix wins

Drag-and-drop editor — anyone can build a page
Massive template library (~900+ themes)
Built-in tools for booking, e-commerce, members, blog
Cheaper at the absolute entry point ($17/mo) if SEO + speed don't matter

Where Zorva wins

Hand-coded site that passes all 38 SEO checks by default
True ownership — you keep the code, domain, and content
Sub-second load times on Cloudflare's global edge
Direct human edits within 24 hours, not an AI support bot
Schema graph + llms.txt + AI-search optimization baked in
$57/mo flat — no upgrade tax for SEO, analytics, or removing branding

Honestly — pick Wix if:

Wix is the right pick if you want to build the site yourself (no developer), you're fine with the platform owning your data, and SEO isn't a priority. If any of those flip — especially the SEO and ownership ones — you're better off with a custom hand-coded site.

FAQs about Wix vs Zorva

Can I import my Wix site to Zorva?

Wix doesn't expose source code, so we can't 'import' it. We can rebuild the content, design, and structure as a hand-coded site within ~7 days. The new site will be measurably faster, rank higher, and ship with full schema + llms.txt.

Is Wix really that bad for SEO?

Wix has improved, but the underlying architecture (heavy JavaScript, slow TTFB, generic templates) still puts a ceiling on what Google rewards. Most Wix sites cap around a 70 mobile PageSpeed score. Hand-coded sites routinely hit 95+.

What if I want to keep editing the site myself?

Zorva is full-service — we make every edit for you within 24 hours. If self-editing is a hard requirement, Wix or Squarespace is the right pick. We're best for owners who'd rather email Michael and have it done.

Ready to move off Wix?

We migrate businesses from Wix every week. Free mockup in 3 days, live in 7. $57/mo all-in, cancel anytime, take everything with you if you ever leave.
