Overall Satisfaction with Wix

Wix was a website platform that I had recommended to a friend who wanted to create her own website for her business as she could not afford to pay someone else to do it for her. After using Wix a few years before her, I knew it was a tool she could use to get a basic website up and running to start promoting her services. Fast forward 2 years, I now manage and update her Wix website and use several features to optimise her website and its performance.
  • Easy to create and duplicate website, and web pages for similar products, services and campaigns, so you do not have to start from scratch
  • Find features such as video, image and button, and templates to customise your website's feel and look. For example, recently, I was able to add a countdown timer for the sale of tickets to our online conference.
  • Creating website Anchors - making it easy for you to take a visitor to a particular part of a page so that they do not need to scroll through the entire webpage making it more user-friendly.
  • The SEO part of Wix makes it easy for you to set up meta data, create fully functional social media shares that are on brand and looks professional in the Google search engine..
  • Mobile response - finding the mobile view of the website is non-responsive, and that's very frustrating as we know most of our customers are finding us that way.
  • The speed of loading the pages is not good and can come across as slow, especially via mobile. With users being less patient, this could reduce website visitors and them exploring our webpages.
  • Affordable - for those on limited to zero budget it is easy to get started and getyour business online. I was able to create a portfolio website that I could direct my clients to in order to view my previous projects.
  • There is no need to pay a website designer (save on costs)- it is easy to get a website up and published on Wix that you save on not needing to pay a professional to do it for your start-up business.

Yes

Did implementation of Wix go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Wix again?

Yes

Wix is well suited for start-ups wanting to create a website to promote their products and services but can not afford to pay for an expert to create it for them. It also offers a free plan for those with little to zero budget or business domain.
I have and will continue to recommend the Wix website for those types of customers that I encourage to start with their business idea and test to see its viability by getting set up online.
