Overall Satisfaction with Wix

I use Wix to present myself and my freelance writing business online. I built a simple website to showcase myself, what I offer, and a blog. Wix was easy to use to build my website, has a lot of tools and options I may never even use, and offers website hosting, personalized email, tracking, SEO tools, pretty much everything I need to manage my online presence.
  • Easy drag-and-drop website building and customization.
  • SEO and marketing tips to get site listed on Google.
  • Website building wizard for even easier website building.
  • Website hosting is easy to manage.
  • Personalized email for marketing consistency.
  • Blog could use updating, particularly in formatting. Doesn't follow the rest of my website's settings.
  • Would like to see more automated social sharing.
  • Since launching my Wix website, I've seen a noticeable increase in client inquiries.
  • Managing my blog is much easier with the Wix app, so I spend less time on this.
  • Because everything Wix is online, there's no fuss uploading and updating my site. Just hit "Publish" and it's live!
I had a website previously on Google Sites (the free version), which wasn't very user-friendly. Google Sites was also all-online but didn't include tools for building sites, at least nothing as nice as Wix. Wix is just so much easier to understand and use, and the results speak for themselves. For a novice, I'd definitely suggest Wix over Google.
Apache OpenOffice, Freelancer.com, Google Drive, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Office 2016, Nitro Productivity Suite, QuickBooks Self-Employed, Skype, Skyword, Slack, Todoist, Toggl, UberConference, Upwork
I think Wix could be useful for any size company. I'm a sole proprietor, with little website building experience, and Wix's wizard and drag-n-drop tools make website building and hosting easy. Wix also has the ability to accept custom code, so it could be useful for more experienced website builders. Wix might be useful for larger companies, too, but it seems to be built more for small companies looking to establish their online presence.
