If you are looking for someone to build or manage your website, it can be hard to know who to trust.
There are plenty of people offering website services. Many have a logo, a Facebook page, and call themselves web designers. But not everyone is recognised by the platform they actually build on.
Coastal Designs Marketing is proud to be recognised as a Wix Icon Partner.
This is the highest level of recognition Wix gives to agencies worldwide. It is not something you can buy and it is not something you simply apply for.
It comes from consistently building quality websites and delivering strong outcomes for real businesses.
So what does that actually mean for you?
What a Wix Icon Means
Wix Icons are designers and agencies that Wix has verified as top performing professionals on their platform.

To reach this level you need to demonstrate:
✔ A strong portfolio of real client websites
✔ Consistent growth and long term client relationships
✔ Professional use of the Wix platform and its tools
✔ Experience with SEO, bookings, ecommerce, automations and marketing systems
In simple terms, it means your website is not being built by someone figuring things out as they go.
It is built by someone who understands how the platform works and how to use it properly for businesses.
Why Wix Gives This Recognition
Wix wants businesses to succeed on their platform. When a website fails, it reflects poorly on both the platform and the designer behind it.
Wix Icon status is their way of recognising agencies that consistently deliver quality work and support their clients properly.
It is essentially Wix saying:
✔ This agency builds websites that perform
✔ This agency supports its clients well
✔ This agency understands how businesses grow online
Because of this recognition, Icon Partners also receive priority support and early access to certain tools within Wix.
If something technical ever needs attention behind the scenes, we have a direct line into the Wix team to get it resolved quickly.
What This Means for Your Website
When you work with Coastal Designs Marketing as a Wix Icon Partner, your website is built with both design and performance in mind.
That means:
✔ Your website is structured so Google can understand it properly✔ Pages are designed to guide visitors toward making contact✔ Booking systems, forms, and payments work smoothly✔ Your website can grow with your business over time
A website should not just look good on the day it launches.
It should continue working for your business long after that.
Why This Matters on the West Coast
Most of the businesses we work with are right here on the West Coast.
Trades. Tourism operators. Local services. Clinics. Community organisations.
You do not have time to deal with slow websites, broken forms, or designers who disappear when something goes wrong.
Being a Wix Icon means Coastal Designs Marketing is accountable not just to our clients, but also to Wix itself.
That gives you another layer of trust that your website has been built properly and supported properly.
A Website Should Be a Working Tool
A website should not just sit on the internet like a digital brochure.
It should be helping your business.
✔ Helping people find you online✔ Turning visitors into enquiries✔ Taking bookings or selling products✔ Showcasing the work you do
That is what good website design is really about.
The Coastal Designs Marketing Approach
At Coastal Designs Marketing we focus on building websites that reflect the people and the stories behind the businesses they represent.
Every business is different, and every website should support that.
Sometimes that means a full website build.Sometimes it means strengthening search visibility.Sometimes it means refreshing the visuals that represent your business online.
The goal is always the same.
Build something that works.
