Wix used to be good, but messed it up big time

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.

We used Wix to create our website and create our brand value, get more and more people engaged with our organization and join us. Wix helped us to manage the people willing to know about our organization, maintain their details, communicate with them, and update them with all the latest news and information about our organization. Wix helped us make a larger audience know about who we are and get engaged with us. This helped us to book and host events and bring our organization to ground level and over the Internet.
- Its pre-made design and template make it easy to make any type of websites.
- Its Drag and Drop feature makes it easy even for beginners to make websites.
- It makes it easy to directly connect with customers and site visitors.
- Help you make your logos.
- Helps in website and store management.
- Lot of premium features for Free.
- Wix sometimes takes time to sync the updates you made to your site.
- Lot of feature and options, so beginner get overwhelmed and confused of what do use and how to use.
- Wix Support system takes a lot of time.

Wix is a great website builder tool for a layman to create a website and doesn't need a website developer to create a website. The best thing about Wix is that they have templates for every kind of business and tons of other features. So, it is easy to understand and put together these templates. The customization feature is also another great feature. someone with basic knowledge of the website can build a website on this platform.
- Great Customer support
- Tons of templates to build stunning and amazing looking websites
- Best website builder tools on internet
- It is available for everyone to build a website from scratch.
- One can create websites that he likes and what he has in his mind.
- Premium plans are expensive after paying premium plans we have to pay other fees like security fees and domain fees etc. Free plans contain Wix branding.
- Premium plans include a single website only.
- Sometimes website loading is slow if we are opening from a foreign country.

The robust templates makes it easy to design a custom and clean website that looks professional while giving you a online presence that doesn't break the bank!
- Ease of use
- Provides a robust library of templates and design elements
- Great customer service and technical support
- Moving a custom domain can be more of a seamless process
- The ability to customize for novice can be improved
- Customizing the look and feel on the mobile interface

Wix: a simple and easy way to develop a website yourself
Wix gave me the easiest solution for building a website. The layout and designs were simple and effective. It helped increase my credibility by being able to exist as an artist on more than just social media. It also gave fans another way to feel connected to my brand and shop for merch.
- Easy design tools for any one person.
- Tasteful design choices and layouts.
- Easy to edit
- The price became too high so I left.
- Tutorials for implementing music.
- Less layouts to choose from

Designed for early stage start-ups
I use it to build two of our company's websites - two different domains. I'm the only one who builds the sites. It allows a start-up like ourselves the ability to quickly build and update a website without having to use web designers, etc. I also have the flexibility to integrate with tools like Hubspot.
- Default components
- Wizard to put together initial site
- Royalty free images
- Not enough templates
- Severe limited designer mode
- Some rights only available to owner

Wix is a great choice for your first website
Wix was the one stop solution for building our company website. The site was created here and is hosted on Wix servers. They walked us through setting up our email addresses on [our] domain. Updating our site is a breeze - the Wix tools are very easy to use and intuitive too.
- Website setup and creation
- Editing
- Adding content
- Dashboard page can be a little 'busy'
- Analytics can be confusing

What do I think about Wix?
We use Wix for different clients, these clients prefer to use it as it is easier and more intuitive for them instead of some other technicals CMS.
We do not face any problems with it. it's been a good way for us to explore new applications that brings value to our design business.

Wix is easy and fast to use
Wix is being used for my nonprofit organization to manage our website. It allows us to have an attractive, up-to-date website that can be contributed to by a variety of individuals from across our organization. It allows us to communicate with our audience in a consistent and repeatable manner.
- Easy drag and drop.
- User permissions.
- Easy to make fast updates.
- Form collection could be better for collecting emails.
- Be able to have multiple owners of a given site (can only have one right now).
- Sometimes the mobile responsiveness looks a bit off.
I used Wix in the past to create personal websites for me and my family. It's one of the best tools out there when you don't have enough time to design your page or don't have design foundations or design knowledge, having templates and a comprehensive wizard let you focus on your business of whatever you want to publish as a website.
- Comprehensive wizard to create a page.
- A lot of beautiful templates from you can choose from.
- The tool itself it's pretty fast when you want to preview your page.
- You have the ability to add apps like bookings or a store.
- When using the tools as an advanced user I expected editing HTML, but it's not available.
Wix was a website platform that I had recommended to a friend who wanted to create her own website for her business as she could not afford to pay someone else to do it for her. After using Wix a few years before her, I knew it was a tool she could use to get a basic website up and running to start promoting her services. Fast forward 2 years, I now manage and update her Wix website and use several features to optimise her website and its performance.
- Easy to create and duplicate website, and web pages for similar products, services and campaigns, so you do not have to start from scratch
- Find features such as video, image and button, and templates to customise your website's feel and look. For example, recently, I was able to add a countdown timer for the sale of tickets to our online conference.
- Creating website Anchors - making it easy for you to take a visitor to a particular part of a page so that they do not need to scroll through the entire webpage making it more user-friendly.
- The SEO part of Wix makes it easy for you to set up meta data, create fully functional social media shares that are on brand and looks professional in the Google search engine..
- Mobile response - finding the mobile view of the website is non-responsive, and that's very frustrating as we know most of our customers are finding us that way.
- The speed of loading the pages is not good and can come across as slow, especially via mobile. With users being less patient, this could reduce website visitors and them exploring our webpages.

Wix is the most essential element for me especially when it comes to the creation of websites. Till now I have designed
many websites not only for my own company but I helped my mates as well. This is a very user-friendly software that never requires any complex coding and provides me various templates to create what I exactly think.
- This is a very time-saving tool and it has affected the progress of my organization as well.
- Number of templates available.
- Editing features are smart and effective.
- Decent interface.
- Reliable services.
- Only the problem with this tool is that it is limited in features while publishing the digital content on the web you still need many tools which it lacks when it is compared with other similar tools.
- Many times, when I create the website and try to open it on the mobile it does not download fats.

Wix Kicks!
Wix is being used a tool to help our primary content creators improve their skills for blog writing and blog design. As a small company that has traditionally reached clients and candidates through referrals, word-of-mouth and in-person events, our website and blog are certainly important but we have yet to see a need to tap outside resources for enhancing the design or populating the content. Thus, one person has been managing essentially every component, from developing content to promoting that content to tracking a variety of metrics. Wix was the platform they wanted to work off because of its user-friendliness, its sleek style, and the formatting and visual options it offers users. We have accounts with other website editors and content generators, but Wix is what was found to be most agreeable.
- User-Friendliness: Wix is a lot easier to navigate than other web-building sites. Oftentimes it's like Wix does the thinking for you instead of just throwing endless options at you and complicating the process.
- Unique Content: Many services for generating websites, images, videos, etc. are starting to look the same and, for that matter, they're starting to look stale. What Wix offers feels fresher and cleaner.
- Reliability & Respectfulness: We have yet to incur any issues that have affected our web properties or routine to this point. Furthermore, Wix does not constantly throw new offers or new pricing or new requirements at us. They value you where you are.
- Data Size: Sometimes -- not always -- Wix eats up a lot of the computer's capacity when active and it can cause slower speeds and even shut-downs if you're not careful.

- Easy to create web app without programming
- Cheap and reliable
- Increase number of templates
- Work more on content recommendations

Easy-to-use Wix
Our organization has used it to built a website by one department. It addresses the issue of having to build a website from scratch. There is customer support from Wix which is quite helpful. Wix is flexible, it offers stunning designs, has automatic site backup and the price is acceptable.
- Automatic site backup
- Excellent templates
- Website apps available
- Templates can't be changed easily
- Loading speed
- More languages

The Truth About Wix
Wix is used by our entire company. It is the platform that we use to communicate with our customers, our shop is on the Wix platform, and the branding is done using their tools. We have been recommending it to multiple other business partners and / or sister companies, and everyone had been satisfied with it.
- E-mail integration
- Shop set-up and e-commerce
- Design Flexibility
- Newsletter plans
- Pricing is high for a start-up.
- It is not very intuitive in one particular aspect - that is the design of the customer log-in accounts for the forum; difficult to customize the design. But that is only one feature that is a bit dodgy. Called support, I have always been walked through the process very carefully and patiently.

Wix - You get what you pay for
I used Wix as the CMS for a nonprofit organization who retained me to build an inexpensive website for their organization. The purpose was to get the word out about a product being marketed by the organization that would raise awareness and money for shelter animals.
- Wix has an easy to use drag and drop design interface.
- Wix is an inexpensive option.
- Wix provides user manuals and an easy to navigate help section.
- Wix's drag and drop feature needs some work. You can drag something over, but it doesn't drop easily and can overlap other sections.
- There are so many options that a beginner could get easily confused.
- The backend is messy and difficult to navigate.
It is used to create websites for clients who specifically request the use of it. It's an easy solution for clients who are not versed in the back end of web development as the WYSIWYG in Wix is extremely user-friendly to use for almost anyone and has a lot of options.
- Easy usability for anyone.
- WYSIWYG
- Affordable
- Easier way to upload photos (too many steps currently).
- Needs a tablet view.

For beginners, Wix is the way to go
We connect our proprietary marketing software to Wix websites. This means connecting things such as analytics and form fill leads as well as a chatbot feature. The experience we have had while making these connections has been overall pretty good. The user interface is simple and easy for non-tech savvy clients to navigate through Wix.
- Intuitive
- Easy to use
- Inexpensive
- Simple
- More complex features
- Updated templates
- More support features
As a computer consultant I use Wix to design websites for my clients. With all of it's templates, plugins, and robust features it's a great starting point for any website. Great integrations with many of todays top website add ons for ecommerce among other things. It's faqs, tutorials and straight forward features make it easy for anyone to get a site up in running in no time.
- Great extensive selection of templates to choose from for any type of website
- Very easy to build a site from scratch no matter how simple or complicated it needs to be
- Great selection of add ons from ecommerce tools, shopping carts and google analytics
- Could be a little overwhelming for someone without somewhat of a technical background
- The user interface, at times, can be a little to cluttered depending on what you're editing

Great basic website designer!
I use Wix as a training tool for the call center I work for. They can use it as a resource also to reference different aspects of how a call should go. Also, it has all of our call scripts and information that customers may inquire about. There are buttons for each question a customer may have, with the proper response for our agent to use.
- Wix makes it simple to set up a basic website in a matter of hours.
- They have a lot of options in the free version.
- It is super simple to create a website that is easy to use.
- There are some extra features that are not available in the free version.
- The user interface can use some improvement when it comes to the overall layout.
- They could also add to the tutorial library to help new developers further.

Wix is an ok CMS
The owner of the company that I created a Wix website for was very specific for how he wanted his website to look and feel. With this, my only option was to create a site on Wix because it allowed me to drag and drop components exactly where they needed to go so the WYSIWYG is fantastic for this.
However, SEO tools and options are lacking, even with the option to add custom HTML code.
The image library doesn't function ideally but it can get the job done.

Flip your university athletic class 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.
