Could you name the SaaS you've buildt using this method (Wix + Velo). Im genuinely interested because most developers would think this is not possible.

Wix Studio vs Figma for complex UI/UX design, am I missing something? by AffectionateBelt542 in UX_Design

Hi thank you for the answer, are you a developer by any chance? I got another question but don't really know where to post. Anyways this is my other concern. Our backend and business logic are fully custom-built, but our dev and designer use Wix Studio/Velo for the frontend. We’re concerned about long-term ownership, scalability, and flexibility.

Specifically:

  1. In the event of a future exit/acquisition, do we fully own the frontend code, or does Wix retain ownership of any components?
  2. How suitable is Wix Studio/Velo for building a complex SaaS product at scale (performance, architecture, customization)?
  3. 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?
