Wix Website Builder Reviews

“I like the customization”

Pros

Very easy to work with even for beginners and anyone can build their own website using its attractive templates. It also offers plenty of customization options and a wide variety of templates for different types of businesses.

Cons

Cost is on the higher side and I also don't like having to create a separate design for mobile.

“Good for e-commerce”

Pros

Starting off is easy and you don't need any IT skills to use it well. It works for all kinds of users, no matter their background and it offers solid value for the price. It's also one of the best options for building an e-commerce website.

Cons

The only setback is that third-party integrations can add extra costs and that's really the only issue.

“Quite a capable site”

Pros

Even though it is a easy website builder, it's still fully capable of producing really attractive websites. I first chose it when a client needed a site put together in just a couple of days and they also wanted something they could handle on their own afterward. It was simple to walk them through and they ended up being really pleased with how the design turned out. If you already know your way around design and web principles, Editor X gives you the flexibility to build more advanced and customized websites.

Cons

From time to time, it does feel like you're getting nickel-and-dimed. It's a solid value at the beginning but once you start adding more features, the cost climbs pretty fast. Editor X is an excellent option for more experienced designers but that comes at an additional price too.

“great for building your brand”

Pros

Has been excellent all around. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking to build their brand.

Cons

Pricing is a bit on the higher side but aside from that, the software works really well for just about every need.

“no technical knowledge needed”

Pros

Right from the start, it made building a website feel very approachable. The templates look great and putting together your own site is simple even without any coding knowledge. That means you can create a professional-looking website on your own instead of paying someone else to do it. The the software app is also really useful since it lets you track real-time visitors on your site.

Cons

The only thing I'd want improved is the visitor analytics since they could offer a bit more detail.

“website live in days”

Pros

Makes it simple to get a website up and running whether you're setting up an online store or starting a blog and it can all come together in just a few days.

Cons

I'd still like to see more preset graphic categories or design options but aside from that, it's a really solid platform.

“more customers”

Pros

Running my business has been a lot better with the software. It helps me attract more customers and the service has been really valuable for my growth. I've enjoyed using it and definitely plan to keep using the software.

Cons

Putting the website together does take a bit of time but considering how much you get from it, it's honestly hard for me to complain.

“great templates and freedom”

Pros

Right away, the template selection in it really impressed me and I absolutely loved using it. The interface is very user friendly and the best part is that I can design a website without needing to learn any coding. That feels amazing.

Cons

there's hardly anything to dislike about the software. I really don't see much that needs improvement.

“helpful grouping and free access”

Pros

The categorizing and grouping features are the most impressive part. We would definitely recommend the software from our side because it's free to use.

Cons

There really haven't been any difficult parts to use since everything feels easy.

“friendly setup”

Pros

Using this tool feels very easy. It comes with a large collection of free templates and customizing them to match what we need is simple.

Cons

A downside is that even with the basic starter plan, the software ads still appear on the site. It also doesn't include an unlimited plan feature.

“Editing with live updates”

Pros

The customizability on this platform is excellent and it's very user friendly. The real-time editing feature is also something I really enjoy.

Cons

The templates still need improvement especially when it comes to customization options and being able to change color schemes right from the start.

“really shines”

Pros

Really shines with how many features it gives you especially the drag and drop editor that a lot of other web hosting platforms just do not have. Between the the software App Store and the API integrations, there is a huge range of things you can add and customize. It feels like the possibilities are almost endless when you are building a website with the software.

Cons

The only downside I have noticed is that since most website changes have to be done through the visual editor, it can lag if your internet connection is not very fast. That can make larger edits pretty frustrating when the page starts freezing every few minutes. With a good internet speed though, this usually is not an issue.

“clean templates and pro features”

Pros

After trying quite a few website builders over the years, the software honestly feels like the best one I've used so far. The first thing that really sold me was the template collection. Unlike a lot of similar platforms, the software templates feel polished, modern, distinct and very relevant for today's web needs. They come across as very professional right from the start. I've got experience as a web developer and designer but I still have to say the platform is friendly enough that even a beginner can work with it comfortably. It would also be a solid choice for students who just need something capable and approachable. Another big plus is how much the software brings together in one place including things like domain registration and other essentials a developer usually needs. And for users with more advanced skills, the software also provides API integrations and support for things like payment gateways which makes it even more useful.

Cons

I'm really enjoying the software overall but the pricing does feel a bit high when you look at it from a global perspective. It may seem affordable for someone earning in the US or UK but for users in other parts of the world, it can be somewhat expensive.

“Has creative tools”

Pros

It comes with excellent templates, an impressive canvas and plenty of tools that let you accomplish a lot without spending much.

Cons

Up to this point, I haven't run into anything with the software that would make me want to step away from it. It has consistently been a really good fit for what I need.

“fast website setup”

Pros

Building a website with the software is really quick and easy. Even if you don't have a clear design idea in mind, it helps guide you toward a solid-looking site.

Cons

I'd still like to see more variety in the available layouts and design features.

“plenty of design options”

Pros

There's a wide range of background colors and images here and since it's a free tool, it gives us plenty of opportunities to build websites in different ways.

Cons

A small downside is that the processing time could be a bit faster.

“great drag and drop website builder”

Pros

It was the first platform I used to build my own website and it was a really good starting point. The drag and drop tools, along with the available templates, make the whole process very manageable for people who aren't technical.

Cons

Trying to build or edit a site from mobile is so frustrating since navigation feels pretty difficult there. I'm not sure if it's just me but I've only really been able to use it properly on a desktop.

“beginner friendly”

Pros

Getting started with this website builder was pretty easy and it works especially well for beginners. There's a lot of flexibility in how you can customize things, with plenty of options for whatever you might want to add or change.

Cons

My only real complaint is the long domain URLs. I don't understand why it has to be something like "https://email.the softwaresite.com/username" instead of a shorter format such as "https://username.the softwaresite.com/" or "https://the softwaresite.com/username". I can't afford a custom domain and the extra costs that come with it so I ended up finding a more affordable short-domain alternative.

“creative freedom for websites”

Pros

Being able to build and design a website from scratch gives a lot of freedom and the whole process feels very simple to work with.

Cons

there isn't really much I can say I dislike about it.

“easy to work with”

Pros

Developing a really impressive website feels incredibly easy and it has helped expand the reach of my business and products. There seems to be a template for just about any type of site I can imagine, plus plenty of customization features that let me make it look exactly the way I want. I can put together a fully working website in only a few hours without much difficulty yet it still looks like it was designed by a professional. I've used quite a few other website builders and the software stands out as the best one for me because it offers the widest range of creative options.

Cons

If you use the free version, the website includes the software branding although that makes sense from a marketing perspective.
