Wix is a great resource for web page creation. It automates everything, and for all non-code users that want to create a web page, Wix is an awesome site to do it. Wix has been involved in several processes as a reference but it has been a great resource to follow.
- UI is very handy and adaptable.
- Price is relative for the service.
- Not too many industry templates.
- E-commerce platforms require a lot of permissions.
The owner of the company that I created a Wix website for was very specific for how he wanted his website to look and feel. With this, my only option was to create a site on Wix because it allowed me to drag and drop components exactly where they needed to go so the WYSIWYG is fantastic for this.
However, SEO tools and options are lacking, even with the option to add custom HTML code.
The image library doesn't function ideally but it can get the job done.

Wix is a personal solution to a departmental problem. As a tennis instructor to university students, my biggest problem is not having enough time with students. Wix has enabled me to adopt a flipped-classroom model in which I reserve class time for practice and questions. All other instruction is conducted on the students' respective schedules outside of class. I developed a Wix website containing instructional information. I email students regularly asking them to review specific information before coming to class.
- The plug-and-play design makes it easy for most anyone to use.
- The abundant variety of design tools Wix offers.
- The templates aren't just functional, they're beautiful!
- Although I've never used it, Wix's paid customer support seems easy to use and helpful.
- I understand Wix's desire to prevent users from editing HTML, but it would be nice on occasion.
- I'm reaching for things Wix could improve upon; I think their product meets my needs perfectly. I was going to say something about SEO training for site developers, but they do a great job with it too.

Wix has given me the ability to continuously change, grow, and publish my website using an extremely user-friendly platform.
- Wix provides an extremely user-friendly platform that makes it easy for someone with no experience to create a professional image for their business(es).
- Wix is affordable.
- Wix provides easy third party access to other appropriate services like claiming domains and Gsuite business email accounts.
- Wix offers the ability to schedule bookings, receive payments, and even link your email messages through your customized website.
- Wix can improve on the speed of their provided websites.
- Wix can improve on the speed performance for users creating their websites on their platform.
- I would like to see Wix keep me locked into the rate that I started with two years ago instead of incrementally raising the price, or at least advise upfront that over a period of time, the pricing can be expected to increase.

Wix gave me the easiest solution for building a website. The layout and designs were simple and effective. It helped increase my credibility by being able to exist as an artist on more than just social media. It also gave fans another way to feel connected to my brand and shop for merch.
- Easy design tools for any one person.
- Tasteful design choices and layouts.
- The price became too high so I left.
- Tutorials for implementing music.
It is used across our business and our consulting business. With the addition of the new database integration, it is allowing more pages to be generated dynamically. A big help. That is allowing for an easier update of information without adjusting pages. The forms are superior for collecting user information and being able to easily customize.
- Database integration - works really well and saves time for updating and making changes to data.
- Forms - the ability to customize and collect the data easily is a time saver.
- Could make the page setup for the dynamic pages a little simpler.
- The repeater strips are good, but some are a little tricky to edit.

I use Wix, both personally and professionally. I manage my own website and my boss' site. Personally, it functions as an additional marketing tool alongside my Instagram and is an excellent source of income as well as with Wix's business tools and paywalls. Professionally, it extends my brand potential as a web developer and graphic designer.
- Layouts and Designs
- Ease of Mobile Design
- Speed
- Easier to manage color schemes

We use Wix mainly within our marketing department for students who make their internship during the summer with us. They are usually coming from the business program and most of their projects require building websites. Here comes the role of Wix as one of the easiest and most user-friendly platforms that allows anyone to build a website in a professional way without having to know a single code.
- Easy to use.
- Inexpensive.
- No coding is required.
- Provides great data analysis on website visitors.
- More templates are required.
- Mobile app requires a lot of improvements.

We used Wix to create our current client's website. This made it easier to create our own, versus having to outsource this kind of service, which can get very expensive and doesn't always correctly interpret the company's vision since they do not work in it. Also, Wix makes it easier to make any changes to reflect sales or other things happening in the company.
- It is a very user-friendly platform that even someone without experience can use.
- Cost-effective website creator
- They could work on the customer-service side.
- Compatibility with the web search engine you're using--not friendly with Firefox
February 12, 2020
Currently my website was created on Wix and I have also created websites for my clients through Wix as well. It has been great on both fronts because it makes it easy for me. I have one dashboard to manage all the websites I've created and I get alerts for traffic to my website but I can also assign alerts to other emails so my clients get their own alerts.
- Lot of tools available and integrated right in for marketing, messaging, etc. that you may need besides a website.
- Just a few steps to get everything all set up once you've created your website. Very easy.
- Not the greatest in terms of SEO with Google.
- Lacks in-depth customization.

I have been utilizing Wix within my position in order to build websites and further expand my expertise with web page design/modification. It is currently being used by myself only, though I’ve started training my team on using it as well. It currently allows us to build a professional website quickly and easily, without the need for much coding.
- Plenty of templates to choose from.
- No coding experience needed.
- Free for personal use.
- Engaging community.
- Major changes can be difficult.
- User interface is slightly overwhelming.
- Must pay to remove Wix ads.

Wix is no longer being used in our organisation. Although they are making efforts to foster relationships with agencies, ultimately they are more concerned about the end-user, which is completely fine because that is their business model, but as an agency, I can't justify using Wix for several reasons which we'll get into in the review.
- Friendly to never before web designers.
- Can be a good free tool to create a starter site.
- Good for students to learn the very basics.
- When I last used it the websites created felt slow and bloated.
- The SEO potential is just not there, it was not customisable enough.
- Can be limiting in terms of design and functionality.

Wix was used to build a website for our non-profit counterpart and the school we run as a part of the Sikh Onstitute. Wix is used to run the school website. It is used to solve the problem of communication, information update, and sharing.
- Easy drag and drop interface
- Calendar style bookings
- Quick use templates
- Cloud storage for media
- Domain buying
- More templates
- Free domain like Weebly
- More broad editing options
We have worked with Wix with several agency clients. It has been a site builder used by clients that are looking for a free or low-cost website builder that can be used for someone without coding experience.
- Very easy to use. Especially for those who can't code or haven't built websites before.
- Cost effective
- Less features than most site builders
- Less integration options

We have switched our web presence exclusively to Wix. We evaluated multiple options, and Wix won out with its extensive functionality, rich templates, and ease-of-use. Our current web presence is mostly informational, with basic communication and feedback features. We may be adding transactions and possibly more sophisticated interactivity, which Wix also offers.
- Rich set of templates that are very professional-looking
- Exceedingly easy-to-use. It can be up and running in short order.
- A powerful suite of advanced functionality
- Not fully responsive design.
- Templates, once chosen, can't be changed in a straightforward manner.
- Not the fastest loading speeds.
I use Wix personally as a resume. I created a website to act as a more dynamic place to highlight some of my technical and marketing skills.
- Variety of templates to choose from.
- Highly editable components to give your page the look and feel you desire.
- Unclear how to edit some of the components.

We use Wix daily to implement easy to build, affordable websites for our clients. We specialize in small businesses, many of which have a minimal marketing budget but need exposure on the internet. We love being able to quickly train our clients to use the backend and update the website when they need to.
- Easy interface
- Fast performance
- Mobile interface customization

We started with Wix as a solution to not having a website. Our company was purchased by an investment firm, and we were in the process of being carved out from our parent organization. We had a major product launch coming up at the end of 2018 and needed to have a website in place for it; after researching, Wix seemed like the best and easiest option for getting a page up. It turned out to be so easy that I recreated our whole web presence using Wix (our former parent organization had completed a web redesign earlier that eschewed much of the information our customers need to make purchasing decisions; this was our chance to rebuild that information). Today, we have a more robust web solution in place, but Wix remains our top option for landing pages and "quick need" pages which do not necessitate an entire development process.
- Easy to build pages and sites that look professional, even with little web design experience.
- The graphical user interface lets you see in real-time how your site will look.
- Easy to add applications with further enhance your site.
- Good value for the price, especially if you can find a coupon code as we did.
- Easy to add and manage users.
- Easy to get people trained up on how to build a page.
- We registered our domain from Wix, and are unable to easily set up a page-level redirect in order to funnel traffic to our new web presence.
- While useful, the GUI can be a bandwidth hog - you need a robust internet connection for the best experience.
- Very easy to hit a ceiling on what you can do to make the page look good; would be great to have more robust onboarding for enterprise-level businesses.

When I switched from WordPress, I spent several months working with both Wix and Squarespace. I ultimately decided to go with Squarespace, as I found that although Wix has more customization options, it was more difficult for our clients to use. Clients liked the "do anything" interface but quickly messed up their sites, which was a hassle for everyone.
- Good, simple on-boarding process.
- Lots of visual customization options.
- Many different themes to choose from.
- It's too easy to mess up the design of your site...you can literally drag and drop elements anywhere, which looks awful!
- The interface is messy and overwhelming for inexperienced clients.
- The branding is inconsistent. Wix looks modern and polished in some areas and old and clunky in others.

Wix is used for managing a website. 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.

Wix 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.

I 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.
I use Wix as a training tool for the call center I work for. They can use it as a resource also to reference different aspects of how a call should go. Also, it has all of our call scripts and information that customers may inquire about. 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.
Wix 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.

In 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
- Help documentation is easy to access and detailed
- Customization
- See what your website will look like on a computer / tablet / mobile device
- The blogging feature could be improved. I would like to see additional blogging layouts available.
