Hey everyone,
I’m co-founder of a startup with four people – myself, my partner, one developer, and a designer. We’re building a SaaS platform with complexity similar to Monday.com (task handling, multi-user flows, dashboards, etc.).
Our backend and business logic are fully custom-built, but our dev and designer recently started using Wix Studio/Velo for the frontend. We’re concerned about long-term ownership, scalability, and flexibility.
Specifically:
In the event of a future exit/acquisition, do we fully own the frontend code, or does Wix retain ownership of any components?
How suitable is Wix Studio/Velo for building a complex SaaS product at scale (performance, architecture, customization)?
Do we have full access/export to the underlying source code? If not, what practical limitations should we expect when it comes to
flexibility and future migration?
From what I understand, Wix is great for speed and MVPs, but I worry it could become a black box once we start scaling or need deeper integrations.
Would love to hear your experiences — how would you approach this if the goal is a world-class product like Monday.com?
Thanks in advance!
