Overall Satisfaction with Wix
We had several domains which needed websites to be built on them very quickly for some promotion we were going to be doing. Since we didn't have a lot of time we used Wix to use their templates to be able to get high quality looking websites set up quickly without having to do any coding and just drag and drop. Since they have a large selection of templates it makes it very easy to find something professional looking.
- Large selection of templates which come with example data already inserted so it makes it easy to understand what the text should be and look like.
- Easy drag and drop items help build the site quickly and populate it with items such as video and pictures without a lot of work.
- Superior support not just at the per item level but broad knowledge base and if that is not enough you can contact human support people during business hours which are very helpful.
- If you have to change to a different template your having to enter all the information again. They need to separate the template so that the presentation layer and the data layer are independent, it would make it easier to swap out the templates.
- If you're a business on a low budget your kind of forced to upgrade to their combo package due to all the advertising they do on the free sites.
- They need to build out the e-commerce piece more to allow for more complex shops.
- We had a media advertising campaign and needed a good looking website in a hurry with little fuss, Wix came thru and allowed us to get the advertisers to the websites and gain some customers. So it was a great ROI.
- The form we set up had a couple of issues with sending the email of the people filling them out, but that could have been an issue with how we were routing the emails. But all in all, it was a success.
- Overall the site was great looking and it went up quickly and the customers filled out the form as we had hoped.
The setup of a WordPress is effortless but you have to understand how WordPress works and the plugins aren't always the best, you have to do some searching and research to make sure they will work for your version and not break things and the templates can be hard to work with if your trying to make changes. With Wix, it is as simple as finding a template then adding data where the example data is and then dragging and dropping stuff you need like videos and pictures. You end up with a great looking website with little technical knowledge on how to do it and a lot of time saved.
