Wix Website Builder Reviews

“dynamic tool”

Pros

Right from the start it felt like a solid website builder and was mostly user friendly. It lets you keep things very basic or make the site as detailed and creative as you want. I also liked that you can either choose from a variety of templates or start completely from scratch. The templates they offer are really well done and give you plenty of room to customize them.

Cons

Part that gave me trouble was the social media integration. I was trying to move my shop from Facebook onto my the software site and it seemed like nobody could really explain how to do it. Customer support did respond quickly which I appreciated but they still didn't actually answer the question I needed help with.

“solid value”

Pros

Making a site and running it using this tool is quick, easy and very budget friendly.

Cons

The tax/GST functions is still limited, both at the cart level and for individual products.

“quick to learn and build”

Pros

So easy to work with and it doesn't take long to understand how to use it. After a short time, you can already begin creating something really impressive.

Cons

Some features are still a bit complicated and it would help a lot if they included tutorial videos for those parts.

“accessible builder”

Pros

One thing I really appreciate about this website builder is the upgraded design templates it provides. The interface feels accessible and practical which makes the whole process more enjoyable. On top of that, the premium option starts at just $5 per month and the fact that you can cancel anytime makes it even more convenient.

Cons

Issue worth mentioning is that it comes with fewer apps compared to some competitors. Another thing I wasn't too happy about is the lack of unlimited plans.

“simple to use”

Pros

Because the templates are simple to work with and customize, it feels so easy to set up a site using this tool. I'm especially pleased with the Live Stream feature and being able to adjust the menu the way I want is another big plus.

Cons

A few of the templates still have fixed sections that can't be modified and there doesn't seem to be any clear answer about when that option will become available.

“perfect for first websites”

Pros

It gives you the chance to launch your first business by creating your own website yourself and you do not need to be an expert to do it because the platform is very simple to use.

Cons

It could offer more color options, images and form designs to help build a more attractive website compared with others.

“easy to use”

Pros

Right from the start, the software felt very user friendly and it gives me a lot more features than other website-building platforms I've tried.

Cons

I've noticed that some features seem to lag pretty often and it could definitely use a few better usability touches, like making the drag and drop option easier to reach when adding media to a site.

“solid pick for small businesses”

Pros

Works really well for small businesses and people who are just getting started. It comes with plenty of features and they keep adding new tools which makes it feel very capable.

Cons

One drawback is that it doesn't give you a lot of flexibility. It also creates code in the background without you really knowing what's happening.

“so useful”

Pros

There are plenty of templates to pick from and putting the store together feels very accessible thanks to the web design editor on the platform. It also lets you connect your store with multiple other platforms and sales channels which is really useful.

Cons

An issue at the beginning is that it requires you to display ads on your website.

“no coding needed”

Pros

It let me put together an excellent website without having to learn programming or hire a professional and spend thousands of dollars.

Cons

It's missing tutorials for every tool available. There are plenty of features that could make a site even better but unfortunately there isn't enough help or guidance on how to use many of them.

“user friendly site editing”

Pros

Very simple to use and edit and I can manage the website without needing a web developer.

Cons

Didn't integrate with other apps and systems the way I needed it to.

“powerful builder, pricey performance”

Pros

Switching to the software really helped because I didn't need to do anything complicated to get my website looking the way I wanted. The platform already includes all the tools needed to build a site and for me it felt like a drag and drop process the whole way through. At the time I was still learning coding like HTML, CSS and JavaScript so the software made it possible for me to build the entire website without relying on those skills too much. I could create and update content, headers, text, colors, images, sizes and plenty more. One of the things I appreciated most was that hosting and domains are handled directly through the software and connected automatically so there was no need to purchase services from separate platforms.

Cons

It's true that the platform comes with a huge number of tools which makes it especially helpful for beginners who want to create very visual or dynamic websites but the site speed was a serious problem. Pages loaded very slowly which hurt traffic and increased the bounce rate. It was also expensive especially for the e-commerce website I built on the software. Because of the high bounce rate, I was getting very few leads. Visitors often couldn't fully load the site so after waiting a bit, they would leave and move on to another website. That became a major issue for me and eventually I left the software and switched to WordPress. Pricing was another downside since hosting and additional services cost more than many other options on the market. In the end, I moved to a much cheaper WordPress setup, where once you learn how to install WordPress on your hosting, you're good to go.

“appealling for beginners”

Pros

Coming from a non-technical background and knowing very little about building websites, I was still able to create the kind of site I wanted with the software. The interface feels very accessible and I really enjoy using it. One thing I'd love to see is the option to work on the mobile version directly from a phone.

Cons

Cost is on the expensive side. They do try to balance that out with bundle offers like annual plan discounts or free domains which helps a bit. Still, if you run into a billing problem, getting in touch with customer service is extremely difficult.

“clear editing”

Pros

is a really solid website builder for both beginners and more experienced users. New users might need a little time to get used to the best way to format their pages but the platform does a very good job of keeping the editing tools clear and understandable.

Cons

The part I like least is that you can't create multiple websites unless you're on a paid subscription plan.

“software overview”

Pros

After hearing so much buzz from small business owners and friends, I finally gave the software a try, expecting building a polished, professional-looking website to be complicated. It turned out to be far simpler than I imagined. I had my site up and running in less than a week and the whole process felt easy from start to finish. Between the wide selection of templates and the ability to add photos and products, it was actually enjoyable to use. The platform gives you a real sense of confidence while putting your site together.

Cons

Something I don't care for is how quickly the pricing climbs especially if you want access to the full experience the software offers. The way the plans are structured and categorized really should be improved.

“why I like it”

Pros

Coming across the software was a game changer for me. It already has pretty much everything needed to run a website and helps present a company to people around the world. Building pages, editing photos, handling customer support and even setting up dropshipping are all included which makes it incredibly convenient. It's also very beginner friendly and a really good way to start learning web design and related skills. I've gotten so much value from using the software and overall it's been great.

Cons

The only thing I'd really want changed is the subscription price since it could be a bit lower. Other than that, it's an excellent website builder.

“reliable web design features”

Pros

It is a solid choice for website design. It's simple to use and comes with the features needed to build a site effectively.

Cons

I don't have any complaints. It's a really good piece of software and the pricing feels fair.

“so good”

Pros

Creating my site and running it was very easy. I had everything ready including the photos I wanted to upload and I was able to build the whole site over the course of a weekend. I mainly used it as a showcase where clients could browse the options I offer and it worked really well for that purpose.

Cons

Truly, I didn't run into any problems while using it. There isn't really anything I liked least because it worked well for what I needed.

“great for landing pages”

Pros

Over the years, I've used the software across several projects, mainly for landing pages and it has consistently been the platform I prefer most. The interface is very easy to figure out and the SEO tools are far better built in than relying on WordPress plugins.

Cons

At times, the live editor can slow down or even crash especially when I'm uploading larger image files.

“doesn't cost too much”

Pros

Starting off with it is really easy and it's affordable too.

Cons

I'm still trying to figure out what I like least about it.
