Wix Reviews

It's pretty intuitive, especially compared to wordpress. I've built many websites for myself as well as clients on Wix which allows me to give them administrator access afterwords, quickly train them on it, then they can do any updates they need in the future. This is awesome so they save fees on paying a developer to do updates as many people do on wordpress.
When I've needed support, I submit a ticket and Wix always helps me sort through whatever technical glitch I have.
I'm glad Wix finally has responsive websites as well.
I can basically customize the website however I want to; lots of flexibility.

The mobile design and consistency between responsive websites sizes is still not ideal. It's annoying having to make so many edits multiple times to make sure it looks good on all different types of devices. Shifting things around between different sections glitches sometimes. Designing the blog is tedious and SEO is tedious. I wonder how AI will change this eventually.

The drag-and-drop interface is super user-friendly, allowing me to customize my pages without needing to know any coding. I also appreciated the variety of ecommerce tools and scheduling, which helped me set up an online store quickly and efficiently.

There was a lot of limitations in-terms of the customisation on the website, such as limited relational database connections and integration of 3rd party plugins like typeform, calendly

It's easy to work on, except when they make stupid updates that make it take 60 minutes to fix something that should have taken 5 mins.

This new update moved things I had already placed. It changed where I wanted things and wouldn't let me put them back. It added spacer which was not needed or wanted. TERRIBLE update. Thank god I was able to turn it off, but I had to waste another 25 minutes on chat to find it. That's 90 minutes thereabouts wasted as a result of the pointless update.

I liked how easy it was to integrate the e-commerce aspect into my website build, even though I was just looking for donations. Connecting my bank account to my Wix account was easier than it had been with platforms in the past.

Some of the different sizing metrics resulted in broken, unresponsive designs. I wish that these were more straightforward. It would have made it much easier for me to ensure that my website was showing up properly across all sizes of devices.

A lot of possibilities, a good helpdesk, cool web design options. good for beginners and more advanced users

Every now and then it can be a bit slow to edit the pages, also there plugins (apps) aren't that good. But not much more tbh

Ease of use, design options are versatile and they offer many different designs, easy to edit and incorporate other elements such as linking programs like DonorPerfect for inquiry forms or direct donations.

Not being able to completely redesign your current website with a theme selection once you have already chosen a theme.

The platform’s easy drag-and-drop interface allows for quick creation and updates of web pages related to compliance, shortening the time it takes to communicate policy changes to the university community. Wix’s SEO tools also help make sure important compliance information is easy to find for students, staff, and external auditors.

While Wix provides basic security features, a university handling sensitive compliance data might find them lacking for stricter regulations, requiring extra security measures.

A simplified manager which awards you all out inventive control and the capacity to plan a site regardless of your expertise level. 900+ expertly planned layouts for a different scope of enterprises and site needs, including on the web stores and web journals.

Wix offers an immense variety of highlights and instruments to help you get and become on the web, yet it tends to be a ton to truly understand, particularly in the event that you're a fledgling to site building. Limitless extra room is just accessible on Wix's most costly arrangement.

I have been using WIX Website Builder for years and I am very familiar with how it works. It's user friendly and there's plenty of search options to find what you are looking for or to get steps on how to do something. It has tons of options and stays current with the latest trends.

The only issue I have found with Wix is the amount of time it takes to get to talk to a person. There's too many questions even though I understand they are trying to narrow down the problem so the customer can fix it themselves but at times, the customer may just need to talk to someone for help. This can increase stress and anxiety when there's already a problem that the customer is having and to keep pushing questions on them, Well, this will raise the frustrations.

Wix is a great platform that is both easy-to-use as a CRM tool and building platform. Whether you're experienced with web building or completely clueless, it offers options that work for any experience level. For small businesses, Wix offers enough tools and resources that you could run your entire business through one platform if you know what you're doing.

Wix is on the pricier side. Customer service can be completely hit or miss depending on which service rep you get, and they seem to try to drive you towards the AI and website answers, even when your solution doesn't lie there.

I love the Wix interface, and in particular the Wix Studio. It gives so much customization for a website with very little UX design knowledge required, and it gives you way more freedom with your site than platforms like Squarespace.

They are really quite terrible with SEO. It is near impossible to get sites to rank, and there is a lot of unnecessary HTML that is added to your site that you can't edit or remove, which in turn leads to quite poor loading speeds and lower than average SEO scores. Especially considering that there is no recipe schema plugin, like you get with Wordpress, I have to write my own less effective recipe schema to try and help my recipes rank.

It was straightforward, and an easy way to build your own website. Wix even gives you suggestions to get started, the fee includes your hosting (with them). I know it's very popular and aimed at a market of self employed / small business users who have no technical skills in web development.

Probably everything that makes it ideal for its users. I currently host with Dreamhost and I run 5 websites using Optimize Press. I found this too basic for me and the managing of sites becomes pricey. I need more control and enjoy building from scratch.

By far the biggest selling feature for me with WIX is their customer service. By far the best, most responsive and ready-to-help team I've encountered. Every platform has it's glitches but at least WIX is always there to help. It's also one of the easier platforms to build a website on. Super user-friendly so that I can easily teach my clients how to use it. I also appreciate that WIX allows you to create your website on the free account so that my clients don't need to feel rushed in learning how to use the platform before paying for it (unlike other platforms that only offer 2 week trials). By far, best customer service out there. Finally, it's the best compromise for small businesses between where they are now (small or startup) and what they need to grow into.

I does tend to glitch more often than I would like. However a quick refresh of the page usually fixes the issue. I also miss the old agency benefits account.

I appreciate Wix's user-friendly interface and flexibility in website design. The drag-and-drop features make it easy to customize the site exactly how I want, even without coding experience. The platform also offers a wide range of templates and built-in tools to help manage my business efficiently.

The loading speed for some Wix websites can be slower compared to other platforms, especially when using multiple high-resolution images or complex elements. Additionally, some advanced features and customizations require upgrading to higher-tier plans, which can get expensive.

I love that I am able to completely customize the webpage how I want to, as I love to design. I can make it as complicated as I want or as simple as I want. I also love the versatility of options, etc.

I've heard that SEO wise, Wordpress is better, but I prefer the wix platform. So I'd love for wix to somehow allow an improved algorithm when people search for me and my business or are searching for the services I offer.
