It contains current information, archives, and events calendar and a gallery. Wix is used by three people to manage the website. It is a fairly user friendly way to build a website once the user becomes familiar with the setup. The Free package is nice but paid does seem better.,Wix makes it easy for users with no coding experience to create a visually appealing website.
Wix has a variety of plug-ins including, galleries, forums, chat, blogging, Instagram, counter, PDF viewer, and many more.
Wix is also connected with a large variety of third-party apps that can be used such as chatbot, contact form, Eventbrite, and Event Viewer.,While Wix appears to make itself user friendly, there is a lot of apps that are unnecessary that must be waded through. When you are trying something new it is actually complex, until you get the "hang of it".
Without a paid subscription Wix does not populate on Google searches very well.
Wix hosts its pages, and again if you do not have a paid subscription the loading can be slow and burdensome.,7,The time it takes to familiarize oneself with Wix would be better used to familiarize oneself with Wordpress.
Using the free option with Wix seemed good at first, but ultimately was another waste of time. It moved slow and had the WIX logo all over the place. Starting out with the paid version would be the best option.
Wix was a fast site to setup using their templates. That made it work fast and free in the beginning.,WordPress,Adobe Acrobat DC, Mailchimp, Adobe Photoshop,Content Author / Administrator,10-100 pages,Yes,Product Usability,I would definitally try out Wordpress and Wix at the same time and see which feels better.Heath AchatzPenetrating your target market with a quick and professional website2019-06-29T23:20:55.923ZWix is used by my company to develop and frequently modify our website. I developed and patented a carbon capture technology back in 2007, and after much searching selected Wix to build our website. I was pleased with the website from the start, as it was relatively easy to build given the tools inherent in Wix. It addresses the fundamental need of a small technology company: to get noticed. And it does it effectively.,Wix provides a complete platform with a short learning curve. As a technology professional, I don't have time to resolve website problems.
The resulting product is professional, allows for enough detail, and can be updated easily with new developments.
The ability to quickly add blogs is important to me, as we must frequently provide extensive and updated technical information to relate to a sophisticated audience.
A very useful feature is the ease with which we can insert video in the website.,Wix appears to have been designed for retail businesses, given the presence of a shopping cart. An alternative format for technology companies would be welcomed.
Because the work we do involves design drawings produced in DraftSight and other CAD software, it would be particularly useful if we could import such drawings into the website.
Although Wix provides a library of photographs, few are technology oriented. More, please.,9,Given that my business is based on a high consulting rate, ROI is very quick, in the order of an hour.
The website we developed was immediately rewarding, since it enabled us overnight to compete in a sophisticated technology market.
Getting noticed by investors and other decision-makers was more challenging because searches in our target market obviously require using other tools.,,DraftSight, Microsoft 365 Business, SOLIDWORKS,Content Author / Administrator,1-10 pagesUday SinghGreat basic website designer!2019-04-24T00:22:19.757ZI use Wix as a training tool for the call center I work for.

There are buttons for each question a customer may have, with the proper response for our agent to use.,Wix makes it simple to set up a basic website in a matter of hours.
They have a lot of options in the free version.
It is super simple to create a website that is easy to use.,There are some extra features that are not available in the free version.
The user interface can use some improvement when it comes to the overall layout.
They could also add to the tutorial library to help new developers further.,9,It has helped provide more of a return by helping our agents be more efficient.
There was no cost to set up the site to test with the agents.
It has allowed us to handle more customer due to the site cutting down on call times.,GoDaddy and WordPress,WordPress, GoDaddy, Shopify,Content Author / Administrator,10-100 pagesDan HannaWix - the last website authoring tool you will ever need2019-07-11T15:28:55.538ZIn 2017 we moved our organization's website from a Wordpress site to Wix and we haven't looked back. Representing our company on the web is important and Wix has become our one-stop shop for website design. It's ease of use and multiple design templates have made training our department heads a breeze. We now have a web presence, with responsive pages and mobile compatibility, all of which we did not possess before our move to Wix.,Easy to setup

Less time spent programming - more time spent designing,,Content Author / Administrator,10-100 pagesVerified UserGood Start for Website Design2019-02-27T15:44:10.104ZWe use Wix when it comes to having students create websites, teacher blogs/doc logs, students digital portfolios, etc. It is often part of a choice that teachers share with their students when they have an assignment/creative task and are looking for a program to design a website. I have found that teachers across all subjects and departments and across our district have utilized Wix in one way or another. Website design in general, or having students create sites in which they share their information with a wider audience is a great skill that they need to practice and Wix helps with this.,Easy drag and drop features let users create an engaging website with ease.
Professional layouts and designs take the guesswork out of the creation and allow more time to be spent on the content.
The ability to add features/integrations like a store, feedback or comment options, and more interactive tools can go a long way in personalizing the site.,Even though drag and drop makes things easier, at times there is difficulty getting things to fit where and how you want. Maybe have a way for the item be influenced by other features around it to make it fit better?
The templates are great for students to get started, but more options and maybe some more modern designs (ex WordPress/Squarespace) would be nice.
A better data and analytics feature. Wordpress nails this and I wish other website programs would do something similar.,8,Wix has helped us get students creating and sharing content online while being able to gear their focus to a wider audience.
Students have been able to learn the basics of web design. Something they can use later to build their own personal brand.
With creating and promoting online content and tools, our district has seen a decrease in paper use, which saves the district a lot of money over the course of the year.,WordPress, Weebly and Squarespace,Canva, Schoology, WordPress, Poll Everywhere, Google Forms, Google Drive, Google Classroom, Plutio,Content Author / Administrator,1-10 pagesVerified UserWix is the best for beginners in need of a beautiful website fast!2019-01-30T20:33:25.349ZI have used Wix to create websites for an entire organization, but I've mostly used it to create landing pages and/or mini sites for specific aspects of an organization like a campaign for a new product or a registration site for an upcoming conference. Wix is perfect for small businesses who cannot afford to invest in an in-house web developer or designer but need a professional, visually-pleasing website.,The most important strength of Wix is its simplicity and intuitive interface. Wix is, by far, the best web CMS that I've ever used because it's easier to navigate and understand than other CMS platforms. Once you start building your site, there are pop-ups explaining what to do next until your entire site is filled with content. Because it's so easy to get started, I've completed websites on the same day that I started them, which makes marketing managers and directors extremely surprised and excited.
Wix's design and theme options are the best I've seen. When using other CMS platforms, I've had a difficult time finding themes that fit the way that I want to organize the content on my website. I felt restricted because the themes were not editable. Wix, however, allows users to edit themes as much as they want. The platform will also take the information that you've already plugged into the site and find a theme that works, choose the best fonts, and even implement color schemes. Wix really gives you control over the way your site is organized but also provides a "hands-off" route for people who don't want to be too heavily involved in the design process. There are options for any and all levels of experience and involvement.
Wix has an option to add a contributor to a website, which I also have not seen on any other CMS platforms. In most cases, CMS users would need to create several logins to get their colleagues or partners to edit the site. But with Wix, I can have my own account with both personal and professional sites - and invite colleagues to edit a specific website without seeing anything else. It's similar to having a Google Drive of websites. I can see all of my Wix websites, but colleagues can only see or edit the websites that I invite them to.,One place where Wix falls short of other CMS's is with insights and analytics. On other platforms, I can instantly see how many page views I received, what time the pages were viewed, location, etc. But seeing this information on Wix requires a Google Analytics integration that is not automatically included when you make an account. You have to first go to Google Analytics to make an account, then come back to Wix to activate the integration, it's a little time-consuming for a feature that most CMS's come with instantly.,9,Wix has helped the companies I've worked with to promote their products and events. Without Wix, it would be extremely difficult to create landing pages for email campaigns or advertisements so, Wix has enabled us to save a lot of marketing and design labor.
As a marketer for a non-profit (and previously for a startup), Wix has helped the companies I've served to build marketing campaigns despite having little to no marketing budget. Because many of its features are free or affordable, small businesses and non-profits receive a huge ROI since there isn't much investment required.,WordPress and Joomla!,SEMRush, Google Analytics, Billtrust, Constant Contact,Content Author / Administrator,10-100 pagesBrittney CollierBest place to design a website for your business2018-11-15T19:02:56.185ZWix is the core of my production business as well as the websites I create for other businesses.

Because of the limited functions, there is a lot of room for improvement.
Most customers ask how to improve their SEO, but Wix only provides basic SEO optimization.,Squarespace and WordPress,WordPress, Squarespace,Developer,100-1,000 pagesMarian LeeGreat for Small Businesses2019-02-07T20:30:42.896ZWix is currently being used for our online store for our farmer's market. We are only open seasonally because we are an on-farm Market, so we only open when we have crops being harvested. We also offer a wide variety of non-perishable food items. We get people wanting to purchase items when we are closed, which is why we started using Wix to help us sell when we are closed.,Wix does a great job helping us sell our products online without over complicating it. Setting up an online store isn't always an easy thing to do, and can be very frustrating.
Very easy to use, set up and maintain. Great for beginners.
Pricing is very reasonable. Great for small businesses.,We would love to see more integration and more features offered. While it is very easy to use and has lots of feature, we'd like to see more.
Better tracking and analytics. It is nice to see how what you are doing is working through tracking and reports. What they offer is very limited.,9,Wix has definitely had a positive ROI because without our online store we wouldn't be able to sell as much when we are closed for the season. It keeps us in our customer's minds and keeps them from going to other places trying to find the products we carry which is great.
Having a quality website is very important. If people go to look for your website and you don't have one, or the one you have is messy and outdated, it definitely turns them off. Wix is an easy affordable way to solve this issue.,GoDaddy,PayPal Payments, Universe, Eventbrite, Facebook for Business,Content Author / Administrator,1-10 pagesKirsten RodriguezWebsites from Scratch to Published with No Stress2019-01-15T18:59:27.540ZWix is a browser-based webpage builder editor and hosting service, allowing users to create personal or business webpages with no or minimal coding experience required.

The time it took to create the website was very minimal and the collaboration on Wix was near perfect, Wix made the work easy by providing the templates to choose from and ADI was very neat in preparing the first draft. We did not have trouble creating the website even though we did not have any experience in website development.,Wix provides templates according to your business. Most of the times these are enough to create the first draft.
The editor is very good and easy to use.
The collaboration works like a charm wherein every stakeholder can make the changes themselves with any dependencies.,Sometimes it becomes tricky to shift from editor to ADI.
There are certain functionalities in the editor which can become quite hard to use and understand.
There is a room for a lot of improvement in terms of mobile responsiveness, most of the times the websites look messy.,10,Wix has saved us a lot of time by enabling us to create a website in a very short time.
It is easy to use and there is little learning curve involved.

Wix was really instrumental for us in zeroing on the website design and helped us put it up. The best thing about Wix is that it has many templates and you will get suggestions according to type of business, this has made our work very easy.,Wix has a lot of templates, Wix suggests templates according to the kind of business which makes work very easy.
The Wix ADI is great because it is easy to setup the whole website rather than picking and choosing each and every element.
Wix help's you with previews on browsers as well as mobile. The websites created are responsive and look great both on computers and mobile devices.,Wix ADI though it is great has a lot of room for improvement. There can be more templates that can be added.
If you quit the ADI it is little tricky to get back into ADI.
The editor is great but can be a little more easy to use. There is a slight learning curve involved.,10,Wix had helped us build a beautiful website with in a short time.
We didn't have negative impacts using Wix whatsoever. Overall we had a good experience.,Content Author / Administrator,1-10 pagesParikshit PotnuriWix - Great Power, for Better or for Worse2018-12-29T16:26:31.065ZWe are using Wix to build our main website. We hold about 60 events a year, plus produce a radio show, so I'm using a combination of Wix code and Airtable to make this a database-driven site with dynamic pages. This will make us far more efficient and accurate than the current way we do it (creating all pages manually in Weebly).,Wix allows a lot of flexibility in design. For me as a designer and a brand manager, that's very important.
Wix has a lot of the current options for page design, such as parallax, video backgrounds, and the like.
Wix code allows us to create dynamic pages, and do custom things previously only possible on a very costly custom-made site.,Wix's design features can be a curse as much as a blessing. It's tempting to use animation and overdo it on big images but they'll kill page load time and at a certain point become detrimental to usability.
Wix code is not for the faint of heart. You have to be willing to dive into the world of Javascript and relational databases. Not as "out-of-the-box" as their marketing would like you to believe. Still, powerful though.
On certain things, such as buttons for example, they need to make them more style-based. Each button on the site is essentially custom designed by you. So if you decide you want the button style different, you have to manually redesign it for every instance on the site. No universal CSS change for that.,7,The data-driven, dynamic pages will eliminate an entire part of our event launch process. Multiplied across 60 events, over several years, that will save us a ton of time but also vastly increase the quality of our presentation.
The data-driven pages will also give us the ability to archive past events and radio shows in an easily searchable manner. This will be helpful for us when it comes to booking new events as well. (It has been no small feat for me to figure out the code to get this all working, though!)
This new site will reflect our brand and organization vastly better than our old site. It will make our organization appear much more professional and legitimate.,,Developer,100-1,000 pagesVerified UserWix: a very dynamic website creator for us coding dummies!2018-07-19T16:43:27.317ZWix is being used by me to promote my freelancing art/design business. It displays my personal projects as well as client projects I’ve completed. It solves the problem of providing an accessible platform for potential clients to look at the design services I have to offer.,Image hosting: seriously love that if you upload a reasonably sized image, it loads in a snap
Ease of design: I can design a website from the ground up pretty quickly just with a few clicks
Great templates: if you’re not very design-oriented, there are great defaults to get you started with to help develop ideas of your own.
No coding necessary: you don’t need to code to create a great looking site.,I think if I had to see something different, it would be increased control of certain aspects of the templates
Ability to add your own font file would be nice, as having to conform to a small library of fonts doesn’t help when I need uniformity for my brand
Better mobile support for certain design functions: some designs I pick just don’t look that great on mobile such as a carousel design to flip through images. It looks clunky.
The ability to change the design formats on mobile separately from desktop to ensure a nice flowing site would be immensely helpful,9,I’ve had the opportunity to freelance a considerable amount of times thanks to having an accessible and attractive Wix site
I’ve relied quite heavily on Wix to communicate my work to potential clients; without it, it would have been considerably harder to push my portfolio

Their marketing messages are correct: even a technology and design novice can use Wix to build a passable, even attractive, website. If you're not excited about embarking down a big learning curve to get a website up and running, and you need something that's relatively simple, Wix may be a fine choice for you.,It gets you a website up fast. If you need a website and you need it now, its templates will do the trick, and some of the templates are nice and reflect current design trends.
It offers rudimentary plug-ins such as contact forms, calendar widgets, newsletter signups, and the like. Because it's all made in-house (or at least approved), you don't have to worry about something not working properly or crashing your site.
They can take care of the technical stuff for you, including registering and hosting your domain. Wix can truly be a one-stop shop for your website.,The feature set is extremely limited. There's just so much you can't do with Wix. You're stuck with only the tools they give you, so if your company grows and you need something more robust, you'll need to start from scratch with something else.
While some of the templates are modern, the majority look severely outdated and will hurt your brand more than help it.
While they have a "pixel perfect" drag and drop editor, allowing you to move elements with extreme precision, the trade-off is that sometimes the elements don't display properly on mobile, no matter how much you tweak them.,3,It gave me a website when I didn't have one, so "internet presence" can't be discounted
Overall, it was a good learning experience, but little more.
As far as my business is concerned, it was a net negative, as I had to move to a different platform once it became clear Wix would not scale.,Squarespace and WordPress,Close.io, HubSpot CRM, Buzzsumo,Content Author / Administrator,10-100 pagesVerified UserGood, but sometimes glitchy, software for website development.2019-01-18T23:51:27.846ZWe use Wix to develop customer friendly, easy to use websites with advanced integration options for our clients.

That website serves as my personal portfolio and my resume. I have about 6-10 pages on it. With the numerous templates that Wix provides, I was able to browse ideas and then build my own site using a number of techniques I saw. I did the same thing for a client of mine who had already bought the premium Wix package but then decided they did not want to take the time to set up their site themselves. For them, I was able to build a 20-page website highlighting their services as well as add a blog and an event page for them.,Wix provides new users with templates so that you can really get a site up and running within an hour or so.
Wix publishes a daily blog that teaches you how to use their website as well as other digital marketing skills such as SEO.
If you're willing and have the time, you can customize your site down to the last detail.,In my experience, Wix has trouble working with Chrome. The click and drag features are jumpy at times causing misplaced images and text.
Again, with Chrome, it seems that the site editor/interface is very slow to load.
If you're looking to customize your site to its fullest, you will have to upgrade to a paid account.,8,For clients, it has had a positive ROI. The site I built for them using Wix was able to function as their hub for events and for marketing their events.
For myself, it has had a small negative impact. I've let my premium account expire due to not needing it anymore. For generating leads for my freelance business I've found that LinkedIn is by far the better choice.
Overall, I have been able to add my experience using Wix to my personal portfolio and resume.

Wix gets the job done if you need to just get a landing page and some basic information onto the web. I don't personally recommend it as my first go-to option unless I'm working with inexperienced people. It's best for people who don't really know what they're doing or how to do design.
I began using Wix when I was starting out for a portfolio web option, but at the time they didn't have a decent built-in blog platform and I wanted to be able to have a blog as well. It looks like they've now built that in as an App and it seems better than before, but there still doesn't seem to be as much customization as I'd like. I do like their additional ADI (Advanced Digital Intelligence) that does assist in creating a basic website to start with. I think this is ideal for someone who doesn't have any clue how to get started on a website.,Apps. Wix provides many add ons or apps to put on you website for whatever needs you might have.

Free option. While I don't think any serious business owner should use the free option since it has ads, it's still an option.,Inability to change themes.

I also use Wix to host my personal portfolio. Wix works well for those who need to build a website but do not want to invest in a developer. It gives you a lot of options to customize with drag and drop features and is truly the most customizable non-HTML platform I have worked with.,Drag and drop elements, with tons of flexibility
