Wix Website Builder Reviews

“Well built”

Pros

Starting out with it is really quick and having a website live doesn't take much time at all. The online store features are fairly priced and make setting up an ecommerce site feel very easy. On top of that, the drag and drop builder is generally simple to work with.

Cons

One thing that really bothers me is the lack of page revisions. If I mess something up, there's no real way to restore it back to how it was before and that can get pretty frustrating.

“simple website setup”

Pros

Making a website with it feels very easy and you definitely do not need any special training or a college degree to put something together.

Cons

The templates do have some restrictions and those layout limits can sometimes stop you from creating the exact page design you want.

“Positive experience”

Pros

Running my small business site on the software has been a really positive experience. The platform is very user friendly and having built-in SEO features is a big plus. There's a wide range of templates for different types of businesses and the design tools are easy to work with especially the drag and drop editor. One thing I really appreciate is being able to update or change anything whenever I want. If I ever decide to refresh the look of my site, I can keep the current version live while building the new one which gives me a lot of control. Even without being particularly creative, the templates can help spark ideas and it's also easy to look at other business websites for inspiration. On top of that, the software is far more affordable than hiring a web designer, who would usually charge not just for the initial site but also for future edits. With the software, if I want to add new pages or put more products on existing ones, I can just log in and make the changes myself without paying extra. That level of freedom is hard to beat.

Cons

I can't come up with any real downside to using the software. It saves money, gives you complete control over your content and lets you manage everything yourself year after year. There's really not much to complain about.

“great results”

Pros

Easy to use! Our two-person team, with zero prior experience, was able to customize a really nice website and we were genuinely happy with how it turned out.

Cons

There are a few limitations in the templates and some of the design features but overall it still offers excellent value.

“fast editing on every device”

Pros

Everything moves quickly on the website and the app feels even more convenient while being just as fast.

Cons

Issue is that updates can sometimes take too long and that really should be improved.

“Quick setup but limited flexibility”

Pros

Working with it so simple: you choose a template and begin adding your content right away. It takes care of most of the technical side behind the scenes which makes the whole setup process much simpler.

Cons

The problem is that it feels somewhat limited. Even though you can begin editing in under five minutes, Elementor on WordPress offers more flexibility out of the box and gives you a wider range of options.

“professional sites made”

Pros

As a beginner to intermediate site builder, I was able to put together a professional looking website without much difficulty in using. It also supports third-party apps which really helps extend the platform's functions and add more options when needed.

Cons

Booking feature feels pretty limited and doesn't offer many ways to customize it. Because of that, it has restricted our booking setup and we'll probably need to look for a third-party app that fits our needs better.

“helpful newsletter template, outdated editor”

Pros

Using this, I was able to rely on the same newsletter template regularly which cut down the time I needed to put together each month's newsletter.

Cons

Editing tools felt outdated to work with especially when it came to image editing and overall design.

“Try it out!”

Pros

Starting from its templates makes the whole site building process feel very easy and the finished pages look polished enough that it seems like a professional designed them from day one. On the backend, the editor is simple to work through and includes the tools and images we needed to match the theme and style of our site.

Cons

Nothing really stands out as a downside. We haven't come across any problems up to this point.

“simple to work with”

Pros

The app market is extensive and the platform is very simple to work with. It offers a lot of versatility which makes it useful for building different kinds of websites without much trouble.

Cons

One downside is that there's no access to the source code and the mobile loading speed could be better.

“free and very useful”

Pros

Has been a really good tool for me. I built my first website entirely with the software back when I still didn't know how to use other software. It's free, very useful and simple to work with.

Cons

Naturally, the software can't do absolutely everything but that's also part of why it feels so simple to use.

“helpful templates, pricey setup”

Pros

It is a user friendly website builder that makes it possible to create professional looking websites and apps without needing any coding skills. It comes with advanced tools and a wide range of templates which really makes the whole website-building process much more manageable.

Cons

The downside is that the software can be fairly expensive and the platform is quite closed off. That means I can't use a different hosting provider and if I want to keep everything simple, I also need to purchase a domain through the software.

“so many templates!”

Pros

Right away, Editor X feels surprisingly natural to work with and the platform comes packed with plenty of widgets. There are hundreds of templates customized to specific industries and all kinds of use cases, plus the mobile site building tools are very capable. The e-commerce side is also strong, with rich online store features and multiple selling options, including the ability to offer digital downloads. On top of that, uptime has been excellent, customer support has been reliable and there's even a free plan available.

Cons

A couple of limitations are worth noting: there's no built-in analytics and once you choose a template, you can't switch to a different one later.

“offers a lot of functions”

Pros

After trying a lot of no-code and low-code website builders, the software has been the best option overall because of how much functions it offers. For example, Squarespace has a no-code setup but the customization feels pretty limited. Webflow comes with a wide range of features but it also expects some coding knowledge. the software feels like the perfect middle ground: a low-code platform that still gives you a true WYSIWYG design experience so you can build exactly what you see.

Cons

A few of the extra apps in the software marketplace are priced quite high although a lot of the core features are still available at no cost.

“Creative tools”

Pros

It has a very attractive and well-designed interface and it works really well for organizing any type of business in a complete way. It also comes with plenty of creative ideas so the final website ends up looking very professional. On top of that, it supports the full process of customer tracking, promotion and selling services or products, all within a platform that also connects with payment methods for better interaction.

Cons

The store section can feel limited in certain situations. There is not much room to make it more dynamic, rotating or self-updating with brand inventory especially for automatic promotions based on the time of year or season.

“clean look”

Pros

Setting up my first personal page with the software was very easy and it still came out looking polished and professional. Even though the site is mainly for my own use, I'm really happy with how it looks and feel totally comfortable sending other people to it.

Cons

I haven't explored enough of the platform yet to point out anything I dislike. At this stage, I'm still only using the basic features.

“helped my brand grow”

Pros

Building strong ecommerce websites for my clients with this software has really helped grow my business brand. It lets me manage my brands while on the go and I can pick the website templates that fit each of my different brands. Because of that, fitting it into my existing business processes was pretty easy.

Cons

Has been an excellent website builder for me and honestly ranks at the top compared with other apps I've used before so I really haven't run into anything negative or absurd to complain about.

“so refreshing!”

Pros

Right from the start, the software feels very budget friendly. With prices going up everywhere, it's refreshing that creating a website can still be this affordable. Hiring developers can get frustrating especially when constant changes are needed while building the site. the software gives me control over all of that so I don't have to rely on a developer every step of the way. I also really appreciate being able to set up a blog quickly and cheaply for people who simply enjoy writing and there are plenty of templates available to choose from.

Cons

On the more technical side though, things can get a bit tedious for someone new especially when trying to add payment plugins or connect different sites together.

“better editor than SEO”

Pros

Getting started with the software felt very natural even for everyday users who have never built a website before. It was the first drag and drop builder I used and I was able to put together professional looking websites very quickly.

Cons

An area that still needs work in my opinion, is SEO. They've done a much better job improving the editor and I'd really like to see that same level of attention given to its SEO features.

“helpful for small businesses”

Pros

It lets a lot of small businesses get a lot done without needing much or any, capital. Thank you for that.

Cons

The templates really need updating because they hide too many complexities. It also doesn't support data migration to another domain.
