WIX Alternative for a small online seller.

My 3 year subscription has come to an end with WIX - I bought it on a promo and cost £150 for the 3 years but it now doubled in that time ( including the 50% off ) . 

I  was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative ... I just use the website to show my stock ( around 20 - 30 musical instruments ) and contact details - I have not enabled the online payment  .

How set are you on the website continuing to look identical? Or are you willing to accept a redesign? 

WIX is simply a web host that has created their own content management system that is particularly easy to use. Almost every web host out there offers one or more CMS as a managed service though most are using an open source offering like Wordpress or WooCommerce 

Personally would look at someone like Hostinger unless you are particularly price sensitive.

Thanks , I would prefer not to do a full redesign if possible... the webpage is quite basic with around 30 items on the front page and then you can click on the item you are interested in to give you more photos and information... on a discount I can get a package for around £9 a month from wix if I sign up for 3 years.

Went down he Hostinger route on a 5 year package which worked out to be alot less than WIX , slightly harder than WIX to setup but does the job .. thanks

If you’re just showing stock and contact info without selling directly on the site, maybe try something simple like Squarespace or Weebly - they’re pretty easy to use and affordable. Also, WordPress with a simple theme could work if you want more control but still keep it straightforward.
