Wix

Pros

Once the website is set up, it is so easy to maintain, update, explore new features, and edit. Even our non-tech staff members can manage updating parts of the website with very little training.

Cons

It was a little tricky to set up certain features like the CMS (content management system). It took outside help to get those features set up to meet our needs.

Pros

Wix provides really good integration features such as Google Analytics to provide data on how well your site is doing.

Cons

This is unfortunately one of those sites that try to con you out of money. It’s one of those ones where they say you can have a free trial, but then you need to add a card, then to try and remove a card it asks for another.

Reasons for Switching to Wix

Pros

I like the fact that Wix is user friendly and it is easy to navigate moreover anyone can easily make use of Wix for free.

Cons

I also like how wix is easy to design and the Template are so beautiful and appealing

Pros

Wix is honestly awesome. Super easy to use, even if you’ve never built a website before. The drag-and-drop setup makes it so simple to customize everything exactly how you want it. There are tons of great templates to choose from, so whether you’re starting a blog, an online store, or whatever, they’ve got you covered. I also love how they include extras like SEO tools and email marketing stuff—it’s all in one place, which makes life easier.

Cons

If I had to nitpick, I’d say it’s not the cheapest option out there, especially if you need all the bells and whistles. Also, while most of their templates look great on mobile, a few of them need some extra tweaking to get everything looking right on smaller screens. And if you’re someone who really wants to mess with code and backend stuff, Wix might feel a little limiting compared to platforms like WordPress.

Pros

I absolutely loved its ease of use. It makes designing easy even for the beginners. Wix is a whole jewel website creation tool. With it's advanced features it offers a comprehensive infrastructure for website design. The drag-and- drop editor is amazing and has varieties of templates.

Cons

I am here to talk about the positive side of Wix.

Pros

It simplifies the website building experience, providing templates and ideas galore to make a process that approachable and intuitive that would otherwise be costly and resource consuming.

Cons

It still requires some strong fundamental expertise about website design, and I found myself getting overwhelmed often, especially when trying to leverage custom designs and visuals.

Reasons for Switching to Wix

Pros

So easy to get started! Need a fast build and want a website toook good....you can with wix. Stunning templates. Really good user interface. (Wix editor)

Cons

If youre a min designer I would not suggest you use wix studio. Interface is sluggish, not particularly intuitive and buggy.

Pros

The ability to edit and manage the site myself

Cons

Sometimes, when editing the desktop view, the re-formatting of the mobile view is automatically done correctly - and some times the formatting needs re-editing

Pros

Everything you need in one place. Simple and intuitive layout of both backend and editor. Quick to pick up the basics with intermediary skills a little play away. Im a big fan of how quickly i can check the responsiveness of mobile vs computer layouts. Security is also a major factor that Wix gives great peace of mind.

Cons

Pricing of all the addons and a lack of additional functionality compared to WordPress. Adding a business email for example is about £56pa whereas we know its drastically less elsewhere so there is a feeling of now you're using us you have to accept the prices we charge.

Reasons for Switching to Wix

Pros

Wix provides a platform that is almost overwhelming with the functionality that it has. It offers such a plethora of options geared toward maintaining a valid website as a small business. I absolutely love the web editing as well as the extensive reports it offers which is very useful.

Cons

The only thing I find a tad frustrating is how to fully maximize my user experience on the platform because it has so many features and functionalities, sometimes its difficult to locate areas where you want to be because of how much there is.

Pros

Website creation is made easy with the use of a plethora of templates. Finished product looks professional and ranks better than other websites not made through Wix. I also appreciate that there are friendly, knowledgeable people to help if needed too.

Cons

I really have not had an issue with Wix and have maintained my site for 4 years.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Wix

Pros

The clean and bright interface along with intuitive, sectioned-off design that lets you quickly prototype sites for various different purposes such art hosting portfolios or a blog site. There are also strictly finance-based sites like online stores.

Cons

Not much to dislike, aside from getting used to it if you started on other software, it stacks up to contemporaries like Adobe's XD application for example.

Pros

Wix is my favorite web design software. Far easier than WordPress to pick up, it offers a user-friendly interface and lots of options. Its media manager is intuitive and offers many ready-made options. The designer for events listing is clear and concise, and provides audiences with an easy-to-read and quick shopping experience.

Cons

My least favorite thing about Wix is that to look up answers to questions can be a long and roundabout process. Their help function is less helpful than Googling.

Pros

The point and click editor was an initial draw to Wix. Wix was also the only platform that would allow me to have the custom product options that my products require.

Cons

The developers constantly change things without providing any documentation and frequently kill features that destroy your websites useability, design, and layout. Support (although 24x7 priority support) is virtually nonexistent. They answer the phone, but I don’t think they have ever actually resolved anything.

Reasons for Switching to Wix

Pros

The site is great for creating a logo and appropriate sizes with social networking sites with ease and without effort
You can also create a website or online store in half an hour, and you can modify it without the need for a programmer or software developer

Cons

The difficult thing about it is that when you create an online store, it is difficult to integrate the payment system into it. It is somewhat complicated to integrate the payment system or receive money.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Reasons for Switching to Wix

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

Is easy to use, efficient... you can create easily an quick a new website. Additionally it has a lot of integration with plug-ins and tools.

Cons

I think its strenght is not in e-commerce, i think they could more capabilities for e-commerce (i.e. shoppify is the king in e-commerce). Also WIX is not the cheapest, but I think Wix have a lot of advantages.

Reasons for Switching to Wix

Reasons for Switching to Wix

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
