Wix Website Builder Reviews

“Social sharing boosts visibility”

Pros

Being able to connect the website with social networks makes promoting my work much simpler and more effective.

Cons

Opening new windows takes more steps than it should and it would be better if that process were simpler especially for photographers who constantly need to create new galleries.

“great features all around”

Pros

Everything about the features feels excellent and the whole experience has been wonderful to use.

Cons

There really wasn't anything I disliked about the product.

“My opinion”

Pros

Building a website feels easy with the drag and drop editor and the templates help you get a site up and running quickly. There's also plenty of room for eCommerce which makes it a solid option if you plan to sell online.

Cons

Adding third party apps can get expensive and there's moderate difficulty when you first start using it. Another setback is that once your site is published you can't switch to a different template.

“advanced coding isn't required”

Pros

One thing that really works well here is how customizable the platform is while still being simple to manage. It doesn't demand advanced coding knowledge or deep technical experience which makes it approachable for a wide range of users. There's also a solid variety of templates to pick from and it fits really well for building portfolios, running blogs and handling content management. On top of that, the SEO features help improve visibility and can lead to better ROI.

Cons

A bigger selection of add-ons and extensions would make the platform even more useful. The number of free templates and themes also feels a bit limited right now so that part definitely deserves some improvement.

“so happy with it!”

Pros

Getting started with the software was pretty easy especially as someone new to building websites. The setup is simple and there's a good variety of themes to choose from even though I'd still love to see more options added. I'm happy with the website I've built for the price because it gives me a lot of flexibility. One of the biggest benefits is that I can share it across all of my social media platforms without any trouble.

Cons

One frustrating part is that the software still includes its own ads in the free plan and that can get annoying very quickly. Because of that, if you want a better overall experience, I'd recommend going with at least the Combo plan since it removes all those intrusive advertisements. The other major downside is that there's no real website portability. If you build your site on the software and later decide to switch to another website builder or CMS like WordPress, you won't be able to transfer it over.

“Better than the rest”

Pros

After trying plenty of website builders, the software still feels like one of the better ones. It gives you a wide selection of free templates and a lot of useful tools are available at no cost which makes building a site much more convenient. Connecting your domain is also very easy so getting the website live doesn't take much effort.

Cons

At times the editor can be slower than usual to load while making live changes and some features don't work properly when the internet connection is weak. The mobile editing compatibility could also be better since it's not really up to the mark.

“Quite manageable for me”

Pros

Got an online store up and running with it and it was very manageable even for someone with no background in building or running ecommerce sites. It's beginner friendly and also gives you really solid options to customize your brand and make the store look the way you want.

Cons

There are quite a few issues when it comes to handling claims and the payment process can be somewhat complicated for both the seller and the customer. It also falls short in managing customer complaints properly which can end up costing you money.

“easy product to use”

Pros

After using this for years I can say it's been really user friendly and incredibly helpful when building a website from the ground up.

Cons

I just wish the mobile version offered more options.

“stands out from the rest!”

Pros

Running a small business, it has been incredibly convenient when it comes to reaching a wider audience. Without it, my work would likely be a lot more difficult and far more expensive since I'd probably need to hire a freelancer and that cost adds up quickly. It also gives me the freedom to build out my site exactly the way I pictured it without having to explain my ideas to someone else. Other than that the built-in extras like hosting, SEO tools for search visibility and other features really help it stand out from competitors especially with how little time it takes to learn and the fact that no coding is needed.

Cons

The only thing I'd really like to see is more plan choices with pricing that's flexible enough to fit a wider range of users.

“made my website 8 years ago”

Pros

Has worked really well for hosting our organization's email and it's been simple to manage. We also built our website on it about 8 years ago before moving over to Squarespace. At the time, it was a really solid option because we were just getting started and didn't have any web development support. It served its purpose well in those early days although the templates now feel a bit dated and less polished than what other plug-and-play website builders offer.

Cons

Compared with platforms like Squarespace, the templates just don't hold up as well. They're fine for beginners putting together a first site or for anyone needing a free landing page but overall they don't come across as especially professional.

“Professional site that wins clients”

Pros

Running a small business I've gotten a lot of new clients simply because my website looks polished and professional even though I built it myself with no background in web design or development. It definitely took some time to learn but once I got comfortable using the software, I was able to create something I'm really proud of. Clients regularly compliment the site and many have told me they decided to use my services because of how well the website looks and functions.

Cons

An area that really needs work is the drag and drop editor. When I move one element, other parts of the page tend to shift too and then I have to spend extra time manually fixing the layout. It would also help to have a way to sync fonts and font sizes across the entire website instead of adjusting them piece by piece. There are too many features that require manual input which ends up being pretty time-consuming. The photo editing tools could also use more options and functions. I'd also like to see more flexibility in the pre-made templates especially when it comes to how much they can be customized. That said I've still been able to make it work with what's available.

“instant publishing”

Pros

The templates are highly customizable so it doesn't take much effort to make them feel like your own unique website. And if templates aren't your thing, you can also start completely from scratch and build the site the way you want. Another big plus is being able to publish your site right away as soon as it's ready.

Cons

The only small issue I've had is when uploading pictures to my blog but aside from that, I really haven't run into any other problems with the software.

“Limited analytics”

Pros

Dashboard is easy to use which makes front-end customization quick and convenient. It also comes with a solid range of editable templates that fit different types of businesses and entrepreneurs. On top of that, there are built-in images and short videos available which can help make the site look more engaging and appealing to visitors.

Cons

There are still some frustrating issues especially with Facebook Pixel integration. Google indexing is also weak and the analytics tools feel fairly limited.

“Soo good!!”

Pros

It is the kind of platform that lets pretty much anyone build their own website which is exactly why I love it. Even business owners with no web design background can still create a beautiful site that really reflects their brand without spending a fortune. It's fun to use, very user friendly and getting a site live doesn't take long. One thing I really appreciate is being able to go back and edit the site as many times as needed. Their support team is also quick to help whenever something comes up. I'd happily recommend the software to any business, whether it's small or large. You can start with just a simple one-page site and keep expanding it as your business grows. There are templates for every kind of business, plenty of customization options, simple photo and video uploads, text editing is easy, launching is quick and the logo design feature is absolutely great.

Cons

the only downside I can think of is that tools like the software probably take work away from professional website designers since it gives almost anyone the ability to build their own websites and e-commerce stores affordably.

“Modern designs available”

Pros

Developing a website using this tool feels very accessible and the designs it produces look modern and really attractive.

Cons

One limitation is that it doesn't offer as much flexibility when it comes to integrations with other platforms.

“awesome tool!”

Pros

Launching your own website with the software is awesome especially when you don't have a lot of information or technical knowledge to start with. It's one of the simplest ways to get a site up and running quickly.

Cons

At this point I think they should expand the template selection and offer more options.

“soo impressive”

Pros

The features I rely on most in the software are the drag and drop builder and the image editor. They're the ones I use the most and the ones that help me get things done.

Cons

I really don't have any major complaints. If anything, I'd just say the customer support team could be more available when questions come up.

“easy to work with”

Pros

Starting off is very easy especially for beginners and it doesn't require any coding knowledge at all. The drag and drop builder is simple to work with and there's also a wide selection of free templates to choose from.

Cons

When it comes to SEO the software still feels a bit limited and doesn't offer enough flexibility.

“Building sites feels effortless”

Pros

With the software creating the kind of website you want feels very easy and it's hard to go wrong when you choose it.

Cons

there isn't anything about this software that I'd say I hate.

“really helpful for staying productive”

Pros

Being a college student I use this app to manage my schedule and keep up with daily tasks. It helps me stay organized and productive throughout the day.

Cons

Once I took some time to learn how the app works, it became really helpful.
