Wix Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

I love how simple Wix is, but it looks so very professional every time I make even the plainest of websites. It is so easy to use!

The "app" functions are not as easy to use as I would like. I wish they integrated seamlessly like some other platforms do.

Building a cheap, easy to edit, user friendly website has never been easier. Sometimes it becomes so tedious and time consuming to have to log in & find the edits when using another platform, but Wix is so easy & functional.

I love how simple this website builder is to use. I've built a website for my side business, portfolio sites for clients, and more. It's intuitive, easy to use, and easy to roll-out!

I wish this tool had greater template options that were selectable by color pallets that my brand(s) use.

I needed a website for my side business - fast! I logged into Wix after trying WordPress and found that I could make a site in half the time without the intense coding customization that WordPress provides. I wanted to build a clean (both in look and code) site with content that I had on-hand on my own. Self-management was also critical as I didn't have time to call on a developer to push things through.

Everything is drag and drop and very intuitive. I was shocked at how easy it was so from the start I got kind of addicted to making new sites.

Some of the tools have third party logos on them and you need to pay extra to remove them.

My business website relies on wix. We do not need to hire a professional web designer which has proven costly in the past.

It is soo soo easy, I have done my own custom layouts a built a website from actual scratch but it is SO time consuming and if you are like me and don't want to just pay someone to do a job you might not be happy with- save yourself the time and money and just use WIX!

I dislike how it translates to the mobile website, unfortunately a lot of their layouts are completely different so you must be aware of what it looks like as a mobile site and edit that one specifically to your liking :) This was a huge issue when I first started my photography website as I did it all online and did not take into account that the majority of the people would be using their phones, so watch out with that!

I use WIX for everything! I first discovered it in college when we were required to create a website for the first time, I also used it my senior year for an online portfolio- since then I use it for everything! My favorite use for it currently is for my personal photography website. People are always impressed to know you actually have a website to check out. It is great as well because it is already programmed and ready for customers to book on- which also links easily to your own personal calendar- loooove it!

You can make this website builder as complicated as you'd like- for most of us we like it simple. Great designs, added apps are user friendly.

Can put multiple locations on a google map. Ended up having to use two maps. Which just looks tacky.

Making good use of my time- website maintenance is not where I can best serve.

Which has an interface easy enough for anybody who knows nothing about websites to still create a beautiful website.

For me it can be too basic but using the code boxes allows me to add in complexities

We solved the need to have an easy wysiwyg website. The other designers with no Web experience are able to edit it when I am unavailable.

I love how easy it is to get set up in a short time.

I wish there were more options for backgrounds or a way to narrow down the selection.

Drawing more business to my blog and I love the information that Wix provides including letting me know when a visitor is on my site.

It makes designing a website a breeze without knowing code

I wish there were more templates to choose from

Creating a beautiful site only takes a couple of hours compared to days or weeks

I like the easy templates that allow me to create a professional looking portfolio

I don't like how some features are not super customizable.

I get to put all of my professional portfolio items in one simple place for potential employers to look at.

I like how user friendly and the easy customization of Wix to build my online portfolio website. There were many templates to chose from, and you can make changes to the templates easily to make a site that fits your personal style and needs. As a marketing designer it was important to me to have a professional place to display my portfolio and work. Wix did a great job and was free for the version I used.

I would prefer if you could use your own domain for free. I believe this is an upgrade so my site had to have the Wix.com extension in front of my website name. Although it is great to have a free site, this is one thing that I would change. More templates as well would be great for variety.

I am able to have an online source for my portfolio and work examples that clients can easily visit. It is a benefit as my work speaks for itself and it is great to impress clients.

Unlike Wordpress, where nothing is particularly visually stunning and building a good website requires some substantial design and programming skills (which thus begs the question why use the site at all), Wix actually provides the drag-and-drop ease of use to build a webpage from template or scratch. Even better, unlike it's more direct rival, Squarespace, it doesn't give you 14 days and then require you to pay. You always have the option of maintaining a free website (albeit without a proper domain name but that depends on what your goals are for the site itself).

The pricing structure could be clearer, I was, for example, not really clear on the fact that I have to pay a monthly fee to have a level where I can have a domain I purchase, but it doesn't include the domain itself, that has to be purchased separately. I would much rather have the entire cost summarized and collected in a single process. As it is currently set up, I have to enter my card information and purchase the monthly plan and the domain separately.

By allowing me to create a website easily, it eliminates the need to either pay someone to do it for me, or to restrict me to a painfully basic website which wouldn't generate any traffic. It provides the interface to manage a blog or many other features within the website and even lets me manage it on the go with a mobile app. It's allowed me to expand my journalistic presence outside of social media.

I absolutely love Wix for web building and domain hosting. It is simple, easy to use, with professional/contemporary templates for all. Whether you're an experienced designer, or quite the beginner, you'll find Wix to be top notch and user friendly.

I do not have any dislikes at this time.

Business exposure and credibility

This program as it all. You can open an account and it will walk you through everything! You can do email marketing, ads, social media connections, and a website all in one place. It's perfect for someone that wants to throw together marketing for their small business.

The email marketing tool isn't great for large businesses that could have a large subscriber list. Website designs are also limited. You cannot recode or customize some aspects of your site.

I have realized how great having everything in one place is for marketing. Instead of logging into several marketing management sites, you can have one login. They also have great apps for email marketing on the go! I have sent several marketing emails right from my phone.

If you know how to make basic design features in InDesign or even Microsoft Word, you can use Wix. The tools to add graphics, photos, buttons, and other content are easy to intuitively figure out and you can move them around easily. Wix customer service is also some of the best I've dealt with. They have helped us trouble shoot domain registry issues, technical glitches on the website, and other questions. They are super quick to respond and very helpful.

It takes time to build each page in a way that fits with the other pages. The templates I've found haven't quite worked for me, so its a lot of building pages, copying pages, and reformatting things.

As a small nonprofit, we are able to create a functional and professional website with little web development knowledge, and we can update it quickly and from any computer. The ability to manage content and quickly make changes/updates is so important for us.

I love that it is so easy to use. I am not really computer savy but this made it so easy to create a website!

Sometimes it took longer to add things to the website but it still did the job.

I'm now able to relay our website to customers thanks to Wix.com

I like that I have full access to creating my own website with this company.

I sometimes dislike the set up. It can get a bit confusing at times.

The problems we had before is spending a lot of money on our own websites when we could have chopped that price down by using Wix.

There are so many features and options available.

I wish the app had more capabilities in regard to editing sites, managing invoices, etc.

I am able to have a professional website that displays all the services I offer. Within that same system, I am able to invoice clients, email my listserv, chat with clients, and much more.

Ease of use! We set this up quickly and found clear guidance to connect the site to her domain. The SEO features are great, too.

Some homepage features aren't easily manipulated to prevent blurry images and videos.

Great when speed and ease of use is important. Huge branding benefits!

Wix is perfect for creating simple sites for small businesses. I love the template options, and it's easy to customize backgrounds, photos, menus, fonts, colors, etc. Once I customized my site with my branding, you would never know it was originally from a template.

There isn't anything I dislike. It does everything I need it to do.

I am in the process of starting a small business, and I will be launching my Wix site to market my services. It looks clean and professional, which sets me apart from other businesses in the industry.

This site makes is easy to create professional webpages with no website design experience

I really have no complaints, customer service was excellent at helping any problem I had

Creating a webpage

This software is so easy to use. It's saved us so much money designing our own website, and it didn't take long. Updating is simple too.

Sometimes glitchy. Alignment can be tricky and the finished product never looks quite right when viewed from an iPad.

We don't need to hire a professional designer to have a professional looking website.

The software is very easy to use if you have a design eye. Easily edit photos, fonts, text blocks and import social media, reviews and forms. There simply cannot be a better way to fully integrate everything you need as this service. I can also personally recommend the bookings feature. There is a small additional cost but I can say that appointment requests coming straight to my inbox is great because I don't miss an opportunity for a customer to act on the moment instead of waiting for business hours. Also, it automatically optimisms for mobile and tablet and has a SEO program that has gotten our keywords to the top 20 results in Google.

Honestly, I am not sure there is anything not to like about Wix. It does take some practice to get designs to balance and the text headings can become a bit clumsy but once you understand how to end it makes a consistent clean look throughout your site.

I get immediate bookings through my site versus waiting for normal business hours. Also my customers get a wealth of information about us, our services, pricing, location, parking and hours.

Easy to use, easy to update, drag & drop editor that lets you build a beautiful site with no previous experience

I don't think there's anything I honestly dislike about Wix.

Easy to use, no previous tech knowledge required. Very intuitive and always adding new features.

I like how wix offers a lot of designs, is easy/flexible to use and allows integration of 3rd party apps that you can add in.

Templates cannot be changed and there's no access to source code.

Building simple websites. Easy to quickly mock up a site.

Wix is the easiest website builder to use. It's literally seamless. Even a beginner doesn't need a tutorial. So easy.

I don't like the way the messages from visitors come through. I wish there was some type of web browser notification or something. The emails continue to get stuck in our spam filter.

Since we started using Wix, our website more accurately and effectively portrays who we are as a company. Our website is much easier to navigate, and it finally looks good on mobile devices!

It offers easy template, and allows you to integrate a lot of options into your website. There are also ways to secure your site, especially to certain users. It's easy to plug in video, webpages and the app store offers a lot of use apps for a website.

It's a little difficult to really dress up a page, the background, footer customization is tricky to use and design.

we are using wix to have a isolated staff intranet page. its great to have documents, calendars being shared, and to use as a portal for training videos and information for staff

Wix has a very simple platform for anyone to build a website with ease. You don't need to know code or design to build since it has a drag and drop feature on top of the many designs you can pick from.

Honestly, there isn't much I dislike about Wix. It is simple and easy!

I have been able to make my resume online and more graphic for those companies I am applying to.

What I like best about Wix is simple: the easy to use website builder tools. Almost any one can create an account, free or otherwise, and get to work building a website in no time. I have also been able to use it at work, there was even a seminar hosted at work for those who were unfamiliar with Wix and companies like it.

I wouldn't say I "dislike" the Wix upgrade options, but I definitely think I would prefer different options when wanting to purchase domains and paid packages.

Wix solves the problem of needing to learn code to create a decent website and also makes sure to have multiple options for those interested in publishing a website with an official domain. With Wix, there is no need to use an outside source to purchase a domain address, but there is also the option to link a domain to your wix-generated website.

Wix was so easy to use, I was able to edit content and have a professional looking website very quickly.

The adds, I understand we have to pay to not have them but seemed like they had alot.

Just creating a nice website

I like that this service provides a quick easy free website when needed! Its very easy to create a website and add elements and publish

There is nothing that i dislike about this service.

We needed a 1-page website to link some Real Estate virtual tours and this solved our need.
