Gainz and Shreds Meal Prep
Halal Meal Prep Moves Off Wix and Onto an Owned Stack in Two Weeks
The Challenge
Stuck in a Rented Wix Stack with Ballooning Costs
Paying a Small Fortune to Rent His Own Site
Wix platform fees, Wix-controlled Google Workspace, and a maintenance contractor charging $60 a month just to upload a few photos now and then. The total annual bill was well over a thousand dollars for work he could do himself in minutes.
Site Looked Unprofessional
The existing Wix site had awkward gaps, inconsistent image sizing, a stale community section he had abandoned, and bios for team members who no longer worked there. Nothing about the presentation matched the quality of the food.
Another Vendor Quoted Nearly Double
His maintenance contractor tried to keep the business with a $5,800 rebuild quote, then dropped it to $2,800 when pushed, on top of a new $185 a month hosting contract with a three-hour monthly minimum. The ownership and lock-in story was the same, just at a different price point.
Two Locations, One Order Flow
With a second Sunnyvale location opening and the San Jose shop running full speed, the site needed smart routing so customers could order from the nearest store without friction. Wix couldn't do that cleanly.
Before and After
Same food, same owner, very different stack
Before: Rented Wix Stack
After: Owned Stack
Website
Fast, self-serve, and fully owned
Our Solution
A Custom Website He Owns, Built and Launched in Two Weeks
Custom Website on an Owned Stack
Rebuilt the site on Astro, deployed to Netlify, source on GitHub. Zero ongoing platform fees, and Andrew can move the entire site to a different host or developer whenever he wants.
Git-Backed CMS
Set up Sveltia CMS so Andrew can log in, change photos, update hours, edit team bios, tweak macro calculator values, and swap location info himself. No more paying someone else to upload an image.
Direct Toast Ordering Integration
Order buttons route straight to Toast, with clear labels for each location and for ASAP local delivery. Customers reach the right ordering flow in one click.
Smart Multi-Location Routing
Both San Jose and Sunnyvale addresses, hours, and ordering links live on the site with clean dropdown routing. When location three opens, Andrew adds it himself in the admin.
Live Google Reviews Widget
Rebuilt the review feature Wix was charging for, filtered to 4-star and above, refreshing daily from the Google Business Profile.
DNS, Email, and Data Migration
Moved DNS from Wix to GoDaddy, migrated email off the Wix-controlled Google Workspace to a standard Google Workspace account, and set up Google Analytics 4 for real tracking instead of Wix's surface-level stats.
The Results
Faster, Cleaner, and Fully Owned
Half the Cost, Zero Lock-In
Andrew's previous contractor tried to keep the business with a rebuild quote more than double ours, plus a hefty monthly retainer just to keep the lights on. We delivered for roughly half of that, with no monthly hosting on top, and the result is a site he fully owns.
Drastic Performance Jump
PageSpeed performance went from 47 to 99, best practices from 73 to 92, and SEO to a perfect 100 after swapping out a weak call-to-action. Real speed improvements that compound across ad spend and organic search.
Self-Serve Editing, Zero Maintenance Bill
Andrew logs into the admin and edits the site himself. No more paying a contractor $60 a month to upload images that took ten seconds to add.
Ready to Scale to Location Three
With CMS-driven locations, smart routing, and clean analytics, adding a third (or fourth) location is a few form fields instead of a rebuild.
"David and Dylan were very helpful through the whole process of revamping my current website. Now I can update it with ease and it ranks high in search. The website looks clean and professional. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to other business owners that need a website or one revamped."
Services Delivered
From the initial rebuild through email and DNS migration, we delivered a complete stack transition in two weeks, at a fraction of what his previous vendor quoted for a lesser result.
