Overall Satisfaction with Wix

Wix is a great, intuitive platform for site building. It solves the problem of reaching new contact quickly through a blog setting without spending hours on the design part of the website. The controls are mostly intuitive and the design can be as easy or as complex as desired.
  • Easy to use
  • Beautiful visually
  • Pre-made templates
  • Support can be a bit sluggish
  • If you use the free platform then convert to a paid domain, the old links do not work
  • It's the more expensive hosting platform of this type
  • Wix has helped us reach 145 new customers in less than a month which is great.
Wix is more intuitive and more visually appealing than WordPress, but it's also more expensive.
Wix is great for creating blogs to drive awareness of the company and the brand. It's best for small companies and individuals. A large organization that needs a very reliable site is best to hire a professional

Using Wix

Wix is quite easy especially if you use pre-made templates. Getting into the advanced editor can be trickier but still much easier than manual site-building.
