Overall Satisfaction with Wix

Wix is a personal solution to a departmental problem. As a tennis instructor to university students, my biggest problem is not having enough time with students. Wix has enabled me to adopt a flipped-classroom model in which I reserve class time for practice and questions. All other instruction is conducted on the students' respective schedules outside of class. I developed a Wix website containing instructional information. I email students regularly asking them to review specific information before coming to class.
  • The plug-and-play design makes it easy for most anyone to use.
  • The abundant variety of design tools Wix offers.
  • The templates aren't just functional, they're beautiful!
  • Although I've never used it, Wix's paid customer support seems easy to use and helpful.
  • I understand Wix's desire to prevent users from editing HTML, but it would be nice on occasion.
  • I'm reaching for things Wix could improve upon; I think their product meets my needs perfectly. I was going to say something about SEO training for site developers, but they do a great job with it too.
  • I have a page dedicated for users/students to leave me reviews. These reviews have helped me grow my personal tennis instruction business.
  • Students love to return to my website as a resource long after they have taken my class.
  • It is an artifact I can point to in order to prove the quality of my work to my administrators.
I compare this product most closely to Weebly. I've used both, and Wix out classes Weebly with ease. While they share almost the same functionality, WIx seems faster, cleaner, and more easily accessible.
Anyone who wants a beautiful gateway to content, I recommend this site. You don't have to author content here necessarily, you can just link photos, videos, documents, or products. I see small businesses benefiting most from Wix. All a small business would need is a product page, FAQ page, Contact page. I have also found it helpful as a learning resource for my university students.
