Wix Reviews & Product Details

I really enjoy the drag and drop features, that SEO is front and center, and that there are plenty of free themes to start with. We were able to create a compelling site in about a week (and we are able to continually update it, since we control the admin panel). The Mobile Optimization is key. We recently started running ads on Google, and EVERYONE is viewing our site from their phones.

It would be awesome to be able to run a test on your site, to see how SEO friendly it was. Like anything, some of the design makes you think, "why did they do it like this," but I am sure that is just a difference of opinion. We have a video in our header background that does not display on mobile, which is a bummer.

We have solved the problem of our online presence. Many people have told us that they like our website. Also, the mobile optimization is fantastic. To be able to toggle between versions is awesome, and they made it very easy to optimize for mobile.

I like that it's easy to use, versatile, lots of options to make any website look very professional!

Nothing. This web builder has so many features it'd be hard to come up with something I dislike.

Benefits would be promoting a business via building a website

The usability of their platform simply can't be beat. The interface is clean, functional, and easy to use. If you need to build a website but don't know the first thing about coding, Wix is perfect. I've never found another website builder that was nearly as customizable and cost-effective. Great tool for web designers and laymen alike. If you've never created a website before, they have hundreds of beautiful templates to choose from, most of which are free. If you are an experienced designer, they make it easier than anyone else to create a beautiful website from scratch with an intuitive drag and drop editor. They also make it easy to add modern effects like parallax scrolling and animations.

It lacks certain functionality, especially when moving beyond just a simple web presence. For example, some retailers might find the Wix Store or newsletters to be lacking in areas like task scheduling or bulk item editing. The developers are consistently listening to user feedback and requests, however, and implementing improvements. On the programming side, you can't edit the site's code. You can add an iframe for custom html, but the site code is not editable, so if you're one of those designers who likes to have full control of every line of code, Wix is not the editor for you. Also, you have to pay for direct support - otherwise you're left at the mercy of the community help center. But Wix staff usually answers most problems within 24-48 hours.

I'm a freelance designer and I have built sites as simple as an actor's web presence or an app subscriber sign-up site to a full-fledged online store or life coach's appointment booking site. Wix makes it easy for me to meet whatever needs my clients might have, fulfill their requests, and deliver beautiful sites easily. On top of which, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg, so I save money and my clients save money.

Wix offers many templates that create an easy starting point when trying to figure out what you'd like your website to be while giving you the ability to easily customize the fonts and colors in your design.

I do not like that you cannot easy switch your website to another template without having to start from scratch. I also find the mobile editor difficult to use and I typically end up hiding aspects of my website because I cannot get the editor to do what I want it to do.

I was looking for a professional looking website that added credibility to my small business, which Wix provided me the tools to do this successfully.

I love that Wix is a "drag and drop" type of website builder. I am a print designer, and have dragged my feet for YEARS on making my own website. When I found Wix, I thought it was So easy for me to be able to just upload pictures, type copy, choose a layout for my site, all without having to code a single thing. I love being able to go in to my website at any time, and add a page, hide a page (I typically do this during the holidays when I offer special holiday services). I also like being able to change my portfolio frequently. I would not be able to do this if I had to code everything, nor would I want to. :-)

I wish the SEO was a little more in depth. As well as being able to see who tracks your website, and who visits. I'd like to be able to see who is visiting, how many times, how many people, etc. Maybe I haven't figured that part out so much, but I feel like it should be a little more accessible. Also, I just downloaded their app for iPhone, and while it's somewhat useful. You can't really see much of your information on the app. I think the Wix app could have a little more to it.

Solving not having an online portfolio! With the ease of Wix, I was able to finally create my online portfolio, keep in touch with my clients and followers via all of my social media sites, and I can easily send my website to anyone asking to see my work, or want information about me and what I do.

I like the templates, the expanding boxes, the ease of customization, navigating pages and building them with styles that work for my requirements. I like that I can copy a whole page and edit it to my specifications, or copy my whole website for that matter, change it and then toss the other one out entirely. I like that I get to feel like a technological bad ass.

Some of the apps are not as easy. 123 form builder has been a bit of a pain. Sometimes I do pages over and over again and they don't work. The formatting is difficult to manage and you can't just change fonts, text or formatting within the form you are building, there is a separate place to do it and it does not look the same once you save it and view it. This can be super super frustrating.

I'm solving the problem of making it easier to have clients fill out forms, find out about what I do, pay me, all with less steps. I realize that the more convenient I can make every move for my clients, the less stress they will have and the more interested they will be in having me assist them in removing more stress through my programs.

Extremely easy to use, even for people who aren't tech savvy!

We struggle with its connection to our Facebook page as Facebook has for some reason tagged our website as suspicious.

We have utilized the website platform for getting information to our clients as well as our blog.

Wix is straightforward. It's WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). One cannot blame Wix, one has to blame his or her abilities to click and copy/paste. The creation of pages is easy, fast, and intuitive. When you sign in, Wix drives you step-by-step towards your dream page. Wix works for you, it deals with your menus and sub-menus, it has easier integration with social media ( even in the free plan). The Apps are powerful. If you want to start your Call-To-Action plan, wix is there to perform at its best.

I don't like how the site name appears, username.wixsite.com/sitename. I think this should be reduced to simply sitename.wix.com other builders do. I know this forces clients to go premium, but it is cumbersome.

I am starting my business. I have not set up yet, but I have created my sample site as an exercise.

I love the how easy it is to create a simple or even a large website, I created a website that has 117 pages and they are all connecting so its easy for patrons to find what they are looking for.

WIX is not super friendly with HTML Coding therefore if you are trying to embed something to your website you have to use an app that will allow you to add more features and sometimes it does not even work.

Ease of access for Patrons, less drop down menus and more functions. Allows them to find more of what they need on one page or having a button to advance to a new page.

The variety of themes, their website editor, the ability to add extension from their store. You can do almost everything on wix using those apps in their store! Websites always come out beautiful. The editor for mobile sites is very easy to use and delivers a simple mobile site in minutes.

There are some basic features there that are unclear, a lot of times I found myself struggling with background images being too big and can't be moved or changed, spaces between parts of the websites too big and can't be dragged to adjust. Some configurations are really hard to find or understand and required that I ask for help (I consider myself a progressed user so that's very rare).

I wanted to launch a website for my small business and keep costs to the minimum. With the Wix platform I've done that so easily. Building the website took literally one day of work, and then a few extra hours for modifications. People are really impressed by my website and they can't believe it's on Wix! Premium features on Wix also allowed me to make the modifications I needed, even though I decided not to go with building an online store on my site because prices were a bit too high.

I love this site. It is incredibly easy to use and it creates gorgeous sites.

Honestly, I haven't found anything I'm not a fan of. It's truly a wonderful product.

I am in the process of creating my online portfolio using the paid version of this site. It is quick and easy.

The building and design platform on Wix is one of the easiest I have ever used. The websites that you can create just from the standard templates are completely stunning.

The ability to change templates without having to rebuild an entire site would be so welcomed. It's not a major hindrance but it could be improved.

Being able to design a website without a web designer is amazing. You can streamline the process and create great work without adding another person to the payroll.

It has freedom of creation in every way you can imagine, great gadgets for free, you can build a 100 per cent personalized website.

Its lowest cost plan for signature still shows advertisement.

I could build a perfect website for my portfolio and blog.

I like that I can do it myself, easily and effectively

It can be glitchy and sometimes hard to manuever. I have found it hard to figure some things out in the past, where certain buttons live, etc.

I have a website for my business, so that is a pretty big issue solved! :-)

Ease of use and affordability. The setup makes changes and implementing new formats an easy process compared to the original methods of web page building.

Lack of unique content and navigation options, would love to see a higher form of maintaining seo more effectively. Also as a note it would be amazing if I could better organize the web pages I would like to easily create and direct click capturing landing pages to entice more online participation for potential accounts.
