SoraWebs vs Wix Multilingual: Which is Better for Small Businesses in 2025?
Last updated: October 2025 Reading time: 8 minutes
TL;DR
SoraWebs: Create once in any language, automatically available in all others. 30 seconds per update. Wix Multilingual: Manual "translate" button required after every single update. 90+ minutes for first post across 5 languages.
If you want your multilingual website to work like Instagram (post once, done), choose SoraWebs. If you're comfortable clicking "translate" buttons after every tiny change, Wix works too.
The Real Problem with Multilingual Websites
You run a local restaurant in Miami. Your customers speak English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole. You just added a new brunch menu.
With most website builders:
- Add brunch menu in English ✅
- Click "translate to Spanish" → wait → review
- Click "translate to Haitian Creole" → wait → review
- Repeat this for every menu change, blog post, service update...
With SoraWebs:
- Add brunch menu in any language ✅
- Done. (Seriously, that's it.)

SEO Comparison
Both platforms handle SEO correctly from a technical perspective:
SEO Feature | SoraWebs | Wix |
---|---|---|
Server-side rendering | ✅ | ✅ |
hreflang tags | ✅ | ✅ |
Custom URLs per language | ✅ | ✅ |
Sitemap generation | ✅ | ✅ |
Meta tags per language | ✅ | ✅ |
The difference? With SoraWebs, you actually use all your languages because updating is effortless. With Wix, many business owners stop maintaining their secondary languages after a few months because it's too time-consuming.
An abandoned Spanish site with outdated prices hurts SEO more than no Spanish site at all.
