We’re building a SaaS platform with complexity similar to Monday.com (task handling, multi-user flows, dashboards, etc.).</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Specifically:<br> In the event of a future exit/acquisition, do we fully own the frontend code, or does Wix retain ownership of any components?<br> How suitable is Wix Studio/Velo for building a complex SaaS product at scale (performance, architecture, customization)?</p> <p>Do we have full access/export to the underlying source code? If not, what practical limitations should we expect when it comes to <br> flexibility and future migration?</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Would love to hear your experiences — how would you approach this if the goal is a world-class product like Monday.com?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> saas architecture react discuss
