Wix Website Builder Reviews

“creative templates and custom colors”

Pros

Every template has a creative, user friendly layout and the color combinations can be adjusted to match exactly what I want. It comes packed with a lot of impressive features.

Cons

Don't recall any bad experiences with it.

“great drag and drop builder”

Pros

Getting started with the software felt incredibly easy thanks to the drag and drop editor which is especially welcoming for anyone new to website design. Compared with platforms like WordPress that can take a while to learn, the software had me building and publishing in just a few minutes.

Cons

I've had a hard time coming up with any real downside because every kind of website I've needed to make has been possible with the software. It has consistently delivered what I wanted so I really haven't run into any meaningful faults.

“easy to make your site”

Pros

Even without much knowledge of website design, I was still able to build a good site for my business with the software and that's been the best part of using it.

Cons

I'd just like to see a few more template options available.

“Polished UI”

Pros

Everything feels neatly arranged which makes the platform simple to figure out and use. The interface is also better than average and gives the whole experience a polished feel.

Cons

There are quite a few alternatives to the software that offer a wider range of options.

“simple steps to develop a site”

Pros

It is one of the best tools for building websites. It lets just about anyone create their own site through a few simple steps which makes the whole process very approachable.

Cons

Nothing that stands out to me as a downside. It seems to include all the features needed these days to build an attractive website.

“Easy setup”

Pros

Diving into this software was very easy even without any website-building experience. The platform felt simple to use and the customer service team was very helpful whenever I needed assistance.

Cons

I did run into a few limitations while working with one of the premade templates.

“range of styles offered”

Pros

Being able to use our own template designs is a big advantage. It also offers a wide range of styles, services and integrations wherever they're needed. On top of that, the pricing is quite low compared to other similar software.

Cons

The only downside is that the media features feel limited when it comes to wrapping images.

“excellent platform”

Pros

Starting off is easy and the interface is simple to move around in. Even basic edits end up looking polished and professional which makes it especially helpful for beginners.

Cons

I just wish there were a few more customization options for layouts and formats so it wasn't as noticeable which platform the site was built on.

“Create sites all by yourself!”

Pros

Out of all the website builders I've tried, this one has been the simplest to work with. It gives you plenty of options and if you want to build a site completely from scratch, you can do that too. There's also a huge selection of templates available and they're customizable enough to tweak however you need.

Cons

The only limitation I've run into is the Constant Contact integration which only works through a lightbox. It would be much better to have more integration options available.

“quick website launch”

Pros

A simple, easy way to put together and launch a website quickly. It's very much a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of builder.

Cons

It's not really the right choice for anyone who needs more advanced features or deeper functions.

“Standout features”

Pros

Compared with other website builders, the software offers a broader mix of styles, services and integrations in a way that feels more direct and efficient. I really appreciate being able to customize my site however I want and features like reservations event tools and more detailed layout options make it easier for a business to stand out. The best part is that none of this requires coding knowledge which makes the whole platform feel approachable. In a category that can get overwhelming fast, the software stays accessible and beginner friendly.

Cons

The downside is that many add-ons, including some that feel pretty essential, require upgrading so it can stop being an affordable option very quickly. That trade-off is frustrating and not really one most people want to make. Support is also very limited, almost to the point of being unavailable so things are fine only if you never run into questions or problems. Once an issue comes up and you actually need help, the experience is far from enjoyable. There is a fairly detailed FAQ and help center but it still leaves out a lot of common situations.

“easy to use”

Pros

Pretty easy to figure out so there's really no need for training or any professional background to begin using it.

Cons

An annoying part is that the editor often takes quite a while to load and I'm not convinced it's related to my internet connection.

“invoice tracking works brilliantly”

Pros

It's really useful being able to monitor the invoices we send out and see when a customer has actually opened them.

Cons

One thing that would make it better is having the option to create invoice drafts without needing to enter a contact address especially in the early stages with a customer when we just need a placeholder with sample pricing.

“Lightweight”

Pros

Using it feels very easy and it runs lightly on our PCs without weighing them down.

Cons

It can feel a bit too basic at times and we'd really like to see more layouts along with additional tools and management options.

“helpful tutorials”

Pros

Gives you plenty of important options to add to your website including most of the popular features designers are using right now. The tutorials are really helpful too. If you're ready to spend some time learning the platform, you can end up with a website that looks polished and works very well.

Cons

Even though it's marketed as being simple to use, there are things you need to adjust to. Building everything out also takes more time than you may expect.

“no coding needed”

Pros

Building a site with this software feels very easy even without any background in coding or web development. It's simple to figure out, user friendly and honestly a real game changer in the website industry.

Cons

A few of the design features feel somewhat limited especially when it comes to customization. There are only a small number of themes to choose from and I'm not able to add extra features beyond what's already included.

“solid option”

Pros

Is a really solid option for anyone who doesn't have a lot of technical experience but still wants to put together an impressive website. It's easy for both the organization managing the site and the people using it on the front end. There are plenty of modern, attractive templates and design choices available so you can create a polished, high-end website from the ground up without all the usual stress.

Cons

There are a handful of design limitations that can feel a little restrictive creatively while building the site but they're minor and not a serious issue.

“bring your vision to life”

Pros

The WYSIWYG approach is a big plus. I can place text anywhere on the page, add photos and buttons exactly where I want them and build the site around my own vision instead of being boxed into a rigid template like some other platforms require.

Cons

It does take a bit of learning to get the most out of it. Things like SEO settings, image sizing, page speed and other best practices aren't always obvious at first so there are a few trade tricks you need to pick up along the way.

“Customize pre-made sites”

Pros

Comes with attractive pre-made website templates that can be customized without much trouble. It also includes a drag and drop feature which makes building pages more convenient.

Cons

The width of the website pages was not really what I was looking for.

“fun website builder”

Pros

Using it feels really accessible. Whether you already know web design or you're just starting out, it gives you plenty of flexibility to work with. It's very simple to figure out and use and even my 10-year-old daughter enjoys building websites with it.

Cons

The downside is that a lot of the extra features come as paid add-ons. Then again, that's probably just how the marketing works--bring people in first and then offer the premium stuff. ;)
