The One Thing Wix & Squarespace Still Miss Out

The One Thing Wix & Squarespace Still Miss Out

The One Thing Wix & Squarespace Still Miss Out

When most people start a business, they reach for a website builder.

Platforms like Wix and Squarespace promise the same thing:

Launch quickly.
Look professional.
Get online today.

And they deliver on that.

But six months later, something changes.

You’re no longer just “building a website.”
You’re running a business.

And that’s where the cracks start to show.

The Real Problem Isn’t Design

Your homepage looks fine.

Your branding works.

Your pages load.

But behind the scenes, your business starts to sprawl.

You add:

  • A booking tool

  • A payment processor

  • A newsletter platform

  • A CRM

  • A task manager

  • A support inbox

  • An automation bridge

Suddenly your “simple website” is held together by five dashboards and three logins.

Data is duplicated.
Emails get lost.
Customers repeat themselves.
Staff switch between tabs.

The website isn’t the problem.

The infrastructure is.

Cosmos Was Built for What Happens After Launch

Cosmos wasn’t designed to win on templates.

It was designed to remove the operational chaos that comes after your business grows.

Instead of plugins and integrations, Cosmos gives you one connected system that includes:

  • Website & content

  • Commerce & subscriptions

  • Bookings, classes & memberships

  • Email marketing & announcements

  • Billing & finance dashboards

  • Tasks, bugs & internal operations

  • Support tickets & client portal

  • Hosting, SSL & monitoring

Not as separate tools.

As one platform.

One Platform. One Paper Trail.

Every action inside Cosmos connects.

When someone books a class:

  • Their payment is recorded.

  • Their membership updates.

  • Their billing history reflects it.

  • Their activity timeline logs it.

When a customer submits a support ticket:

  • Staff see their subscription.

  • They see past invoices.

  • They see previous bookings.

  • They see prior conversations.

No forwarding emails.
No “can you resend that?”
No switching between systems.

Just one timeline.

That’s the difference.

Marketing Without Exporting CSVs

Most businesses end up exporting data just to send a newsletter.

Cosmos includes:

  • Subscriber lists

  • Segmentation by plan

  • Announcements inside the portal

  • Social calendar planning

  • Campaign tasks linked to goals

Your marketing already knows who your customers are.

Because it’s the same system.

Finance Without Guesswork

Cosmos includes:

  • Invoices and subscriptions

  • Due / overdue finance views

  • Payment links

  • Stripe-ready pipelines (plus SumUp & GoCardless support)

  • Downloadable receipts and PDF invoices

Finance isn’t disconnected from operations.

It’s part of it.

Operations Where Most Builders Stop

This is where platforms like Wix and Squarespace simply don’t operate.

Cosmos includes:

  • Tasks and Kanban boards

  • Bugs and alerts

  • Goals and milestones

  • Notifications and activity feeds

  • Admin dashboards for finance and monitoring

You’re not just publishing pages.

You’re managing a business engine.

Replace 4–7 Tools. Save £80–£300 per Month.

Cosmos replaces tools commonly used for:

  • Website management

  • Email marketing

  • Online shop

  • Booking systems

  • Support desks

  • Task management

  • Automation bridges like Zapier

But the real saving isn’t just financial.

It’s cognitive.

Fewer dashboards.
Fewer integrations.
Fewer points of failure.

Infrastructure Included — Not Added Later

Cosmos also handles:

  • Hosting

  • SSL

  • Domains & subdomains

  • Monitoring

  • Backups

  • Per-tenant isolation

No plugin updates.
No patch conflicts.
No maintenance juggling.

It’s maintained as a platform.

The One Thing They Still Miss

Wix and Squarespace help you publish.

Cosmos helps you operate.

And when your business grows, operation matters more than appearance.

Because customers don’t see your template.

They feel your systems.

They notice when things are smooth.
They notice when support has context.
They notice when billing is clear.
They notice when everything just works.

That doesn’t come from a drag-and-drop builder.

It comes from unified infrastructure.

If You’re Just Starting, A Builder Is Fine.

If you’re serious about running and scaling a business?

You need more than pages.

You need one platform.
One data layer.
One paper trail.
One predictable monthly cost.

That’s Cosmos.
