The Wix alternative that skips the template look.
Wix is fast to launch and easy to host, but it starts you from one of thousands of shared templates — and the result usually looks like it. PureDev authors an original design from your prompt, so your site stands out instead of blending in.
From prompt to premium site
- 01
Describe your project
One or two sentences on what you are building and who it is for. No brief document required.
- 02
Shape the creative direction
Mood, references, audience, tone — the texture that makes the design feel authored, not generated.
- 03
Get a premium website
Strategy, type system, color, components, motion language, and a developer-ready brief your team can build from.
Why teams leave the template gallery
Original, not off-the-shelf
A design authored for your project rather than a theme thousands of other Wix sites also run.
No editor rabbit hole
Design decisions arrive resolved — you are not nudging boxes around a canvas for hours.
Build anywhere
You get a portable specification, not a site locked into one host and plan.

Common questions
Is PureDev a Wix alternative?+
Yes, for the design stage. Wix hosts and edits a site from a template; PureDev authors an original design and a build-ready specification you then build and host wherever you prefer.
Will my site still look like a template?+
No. PureDev generates an original design direction for your project rather than adapting a shared theme, so the result reads as distinctive.
Does PureDev host my site like Wix?+
No. PureDev produces the design and specification; you keep full freedom to build and host it anywhere, avoiding platform lock-in.
