Overall Satisfaction with Wix

Wix was used for creative simple websites for our clients, especially those with simplistic designs.
  • Drag & drop interface
  • Simple, shareable preview link
  • Robust website templates
  • Functionality of website is simplistic
  • Plugins and external API integrations are rudimentary
  • Not a good fit for clients with precise design visions
  • Positive = clients with simplistic ideas, designs and functionality were often a good fit for Wix
  • Negative = often clients were dissatisfied with the look and functionality so we went with other website vendors like Squarespace
For most brands, we actually went with Squarespace -- better designs, better functionality, and more external API integrations.
Wix is appropriate for simple, minimalistic designs with light functionality. Other web builders, like Squarespace, are better for more serious websites.
