Simply Websites review
A capable general website builder, but not a fitness management platform.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Simply Websites is a hosted website builder from Solve IT Simply for teams that need responsive public websites without WordPress. Its drag-and-drop editor, customizable templates, and responsive design support general business sites, while e-commerce features cover product pages, shopping carts, and secure payments. For fitness businesses, it fits best when the main requirement is a public-facing site with basic online selling rather than a system for managing members, classes, or enrollments.
Pricing is straightforward. The Free plan provides draft websites, allowing teams to create site content before publishing. The Published website plan costs $39 per month and adds the ability to publish a website through the standalone builder. The published tier also supports the broader website feature set, including SEO tools with meta tags and alt-text support, AI-assisted content generation and copy optimization, image and video optimization, lazy loading, minified code, free SSL certificates, and automatic daily backups. Online payments are supported through the e-commerce tools.
Simply Websites runs on the web and uses AWS-hosted website infrastructure. It combines website editing, content assistance, performance features, and hosting-related functions in one product, with a path to connect to the wider Simply platform for data-powered websites and workflows. That makes it a reasonable choice for a studio, trainer, or fitness business that needs a conventional website with products or payments. Businesses that require fitness-specific scheduling, membership management, enrollment workflows, or member features should choose a more specialized platform instead.
