Overall Satisfaction with Wix

I have used Wix for several websites so far. The main reason would be to create an internet presence and to increase the professionalism with which our NGO is being perceived
  • Prefabricated websites that can be adjusted by its users
  • Website templates which are visually attractive
  • In my opinion, with the removal of the ADI web-building tool in favor of editor, user-friendliness has suffered tremendously.
  • In my opinion, the removal of the ADI web-building tool in favor of editor makes that a big portion of a website has to be redesigned, as items are now linked to each other in a different way than before.
  • In my opinion, the removal of the ADI web-building tool in favor of editor makes Wix only usable for professional website builders and no longer for the general public.
  • Positive: Wix used to be a user-friendly platform on which a web presence could be generated in little time
  • Negative: In my experience, Wix is no longer user-friendly but rather tailored to professional designers
  • With the abolishment of ADI developing tool, I feel Wix will undoubtedly lose a lot of clients who cannot afford a professional web designer
Zoho provides a free email account which can be coupled to your website. Wix does not provide this free option but rather tries to sell a professional account through google.

No

No

Did implementation of Wix go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Wix again?

No

The fact of Wix moving away from their ADI web-building tool in favour of Editor, in my opinion, makes a huge mess of everything. I feel a lot of the ease and automation of designing my website has gone to such an extent that I now "recommend" Wix only for professional developers. Worse is that I have to redesign a big part of my website as items are now linked to each other in a different way than used to be the case. In my opinion, A big ZERO for Wix, who clearly should do their homework again.
