Wix Website Builder Reviews

“simple page building experience”

Pros

Putting together a page was very easy and the builder made the whole process simple to follow.

Cons

I didn't enjoy that the site can be pretty slow at times.

“Live editing”

Pros

Comes with ready-made website templates and a drag and drop builder that makes it simple to customize the site based on what we need. It also includes SEO features and supports a lot of third-party integrations. One thing I really appreciate is being able to make changes and see the website update in real time. Other than that it offers pre-designed templates for email marketing and landing pages as well.

Cons

The pricing can climb pretty quickly once you start adding more add-ons. It also lacks support for SDK or GTM integration which can be limiting.

“creative mobile-friendly site builder”

Pros

Even with the free version it gives everyone a solid starting point though the template selection is limited. The part I really enjoy is how creative and smart it feels to use and it's also mobile optimized. You can try out as many website designs as you want which makes it fun and flexible when building a site.

Cons

A drawback is that not every template is included for free and the more professional ones come at an extra cost, with different VIP and premium options. Website designers will probably enjoy the software because editing is pretty simple but when it comes to deeper customization, you really need a stronger coding and decoding tool. They also charge about $14 for domain names.

“Quick launch”

Pros

Starting with it was very easy from the beginning. Setting up a project or choosing a template takes very little effort and having hosting plus domain connection all managed from one dashboard makes the whole process feel convenient. The template gallery is also a big plus because it gives you lots of ideas for different kinds of websites. On top of that, the intro walkthrough for new users is really well done and makes the interface much easier to understand.

Cons

It works well as a starting point but there are a few downsides. The SEO side feels fairly limited and to unlock a wider range of features you end up relying quite a bit on plug-ins. Pricing was also disappointing in my case since it can feel a little misleading and sometimes leads to paying more than you initially expect.

“Limited flexibility”

Pros

The beautiful templates and drag and drop features are definitely a strong point and the platform feels very accessible to use. It works well for users who want to build something quickly. The trouble starts when more specific customization is needed because that's where the tool begins to feel restrictive.

Cons

Not the best option for creating landing pages or online stores, mainly because there aren't enough plugins available and customizing the selected template can be difficult.

“has tools for small businesses”

Pros

A very capable drag and drop website builder that handles most of what a small business needs for an online presence. There are plenty of templates to choose from when starting a site and they can be customized quite a bit as well. It feels especially well suited for websites focused on selling services and booking appointments. On top of that, it works really well for physical products and event pages. The built-in email marketing tools are also a big plus because they help cut down on extra costs.

Cons

Compared with WordPress it is not the best option for large, dynamic websites or bigger online stores. While it does offer a decent number of plugins, you still run into limits with what the platform can actually do. The editor can feel heavy too and loading pages or making updates sometimes takes longer than it should. Another downside is that it doesn't support having many people working on the site at the same time.

“helpful preview and handoff”

Pros

One of the most useful parts for me is being able to preview the site in different device formats and I also appreciate that ownership can be transferred once the website is finished.

Cons

I can't think of anything that would count as a downside.

“Very user friendly builder”

Pros

It is very user friendly and simple to use.

Cons

No faults with this website development service.

“beginner friendly with lots of customization”

Pros

Getting started with this is very beginner friendly even without any technical background. There's a lot of creative freedom and the templates can be customized to match the style you want. It also comes with plenty of tools, no matter what kind of website you're trying to build.

Cons

Issue is that after the website is published, the template can't be changed so you'd have to rebuild everything from the beginning. The editor also throws a lot of design options and features at you right away which can feel overwhelming at first. On top of that, if you plan to use certain third-party apps long term, the extra cost can add up.

“modern looking designs”

Pros

There are plenty of features and template choices and the free trial includes really modern-looking designs so it's hard to complain too much. The color and font selections do feel somewhat limited though. I'd assume that upgrading from the free version would probably unlock a wider range of customization options.

Cons

Something I really wish it had was step by step guidance for editing templates or at least a short tutorial video. If something like that exists, I definitely didn't come across it. It also takes quite a while to load and can affect how my laptop performs so it feels a bit laggy at times.

“built-in tools”

Pros

The pre integrated apps and modules are a big plus. They make setting up a new ecommerce website pretty simple and fast.

Cons

A setback is that it gives you limited control when it comes to search engine authority.

“Best fit for all my sites”

Pros

Building both my personal and business websites with this platform has been incredibly simple. I've tried other website builders before but the software has been the most easy by far which is why I'm planning to move all of my sites over to it.

Cons

One thing that could make it even better is some auto-formatting that adapts to my style and preferences over time.

“well organized interface”

Pros

Simple to use yet packed with plenty of options and a well organized interface. It offers a wide range of alternatives when creating presentations and websites, plus an extensive gallery that really helps you be creative while designing a site or putting together an online presentation.

Cons

The way some editing tools are arranged can be a bit confusing at first especially for new users who may need some time to understand how certain functions work.

“Surprisingly impressed with the software”

Pros

Coming from a web design background I used to be pretty critical of this platform because I felt it was hurting the industry. After getting fed up with constantly updating WordPress over and over, I decided to give the software a try. it changed my opinion completely--I'm really impressed with it and genuinely enjoy using the program.

Cons

Part I don't like is having to pay extra for add-ons. It feels like a few more features should already be included in the base package.

“Flexible site design options”

Pros

Feels like a very approachable tool because the interface is easy and packed with options. I really appreciate how much you can personalize, with plenty of tools to build a beautiful and distinctive website. It works especially well for people who are new to website creation and the royalty free images plus the large selection of layout and design templates make building multi-page sites much more efficient for both the creator and visitors. For a lot of users, the free version is enough to put together a solid website.

Cons

Still it could still offer a little more flexibility and the paid features cost more than some competing platforms. Positioning images and text, along with certain layout choices like galleries, can feel limiting for people who want a more unconventional or artistic-looking site.

“impressive SEO tools”

Pros

The template selection is really impressive and the built-in SEO options are a smart addition. It offers plenty of useful tools that help when building a website.

Cons

Compared with the pricing, this includes a lot of valuable features and can be especially helpful for small business owners.

“Best!”

Pros

Deserves a five-star rating from me. It lets you choose and build a website at no cost until you're ready to fully own it. There are several options available to use on your site and it doesn't box you into using just one tool or software since it gives you multiple choices that can be added to your website. That really helps when you're trying to promote yourself, communicate better and expand your business into different areas.

Cons

The only real downside for me is with the graphics. I'm not someone who knows how to draw so it would be helpful if it offered some kind of program where people could create animation characters or logos and get paid for them. That would make things a lot better for users like me who can't draw but still want a stronger logo.

“hard to figure”

Pros

Nothing really stands out as a favorite feature for me.

Cons

I can't point to one specific feature I disliked the most either but overall the platform felt somewhat difficult to use. I'm pretty tech-savvy so if I'm struggling to make proper use of all the features, then people who aren't as comfortable with this kind of stuff will probably have an even harder time.

“My review”

Pros

The graphic design side is really appealing and building your own website feels very easy. It's also a big plus that you can secure your own domain right through the platform.

Cons

At times the layout can feel a bit confusing and getting around certain sections isn't always as accessible as it should be.

“affordable builder with limits”

Pros

After hearing a lot of positive things about this software, I decided to give it a try while helping a client with her website since she didn't have time to handle it herself. Overall it's a really solid option for building your own site. It offers a lot of features for a fairly low price and I was able to put together a decent-looking website with it.

Cons

In the end though I moved to a different platform because customizing the site the way I wanted was harder than expected. Some of the tools and features felt confusing and I could never quite get the final result I was aiming for.
