Wix Website Builder Reviews

“Versatile builder”

Pros

Feels very easy to use and offers a lot in one platform. It comes with around 70 attractive blog templates and overall it's a really nice piece of software that almost anyone can use. 100%.

Cons

Compared with Squarespace or Weebly, this doesn't allow you to change your template after you've selected it. Aside from that, it still works really well and is nice software to use.

“makes great websites”

Pros

Gives you a wide range of templates to choose from so there are plenty of dynamic design options available. The platform is simple to use and figure out and the drag and drop builder works really well. Another big plus is that websites built with it load fast and rarely lag.

Cons

The downside is that the free plan comes with limited features so users who can't afford a paid subscription end up being quite restricted.

“allows google integration”

Pros

From the start the huge selection of templates for building a website or logo really impressed me. They look visually striking and are presented in a very polished and attractive way. It's also a big plus that the site you create can be connected to Google Search Console.

Cons

One frustrating limitation is that once your site has been published, you can't change the format without starting over from scratch.

“Site activity updates are excellent”

Pros

It keeps me constantly updated on everything happening on my site.

Cons

With the latest update, the online visitor identification no longer shows the visitor's city.

“I think it's good”

Pros

Quite easy to use. There are plenty of templates to start from and the theme builder can even pull together a color palette automatically from your logo which is a really nice touch. The ADI option also helps speed things up by creating a personalized website based on the information you provide.

Cons

The downside with ADI mode is that while it includes a good range of prebuilt components, it does not give much control over fine adjustments. For instance, you cannot move a button to a different spot within a section or tweak the padding up or down. The standard builder gives you that flexibility but then you lose the smart automation and guidance that come with ADI.

“don't need any prior knowledge”

Pros

Feels very accessible especially for people who never studied web design. Once you sign up to build a website, the whole process is very easy and launching the site is pretty simple too. After it goes live, it really does what it's supposed to do. I genuinely enjoy using it and would recommend it to anyone who wants the chance to create their own website.

Cons

An issue I have with it is that I occasionally run into sign in problems. It does not happen all the time but it is frustrating whenever I cannot log into the application. Another thing that bothers me is while I am designing sections, the system will sometimes randomly delete one or two of them which is really annoying.

“quick website creation”

Pros

Simple to work with, it's easy to learn and businesses can put together the website they want in hardly any time.

Cons

I haven't run into anything I dislike about this software. Up to this point, everything has met the standards I was expecting.

“powerful booking tools”

Pros

Updating bookings is easy and there are plenty of features to work with.

Cons

Didn't notice any issues with the software and the app is easy to use as well.

“Setup for anyone”

Pros

Getting started with it is very simple and you can have a site up and running within minutes even if you're not a professional developer.

Cons

Once you need to customize pages heavily or connect the site with other backend services, things become much less easy. It can also be frustrating to track down the right, up-to-date documentation for more advanced customizations.

“easy for beginners”

Pros

Really easy to use with interesting tools that make it especially valuable for beginners.

Cons

I have nothing to complain about because everything feels simple and clear.

“affordable website building win”

Pros

Was really convenient to get my site built with this. It's budget friendly and the platform makes the whole website creation process very simple.

Cons

Something I didn't appreciate was the way it was promoted as free to build a website, when in reality you end up having to pay.

“Daily website updates”

Pros

Designing my website with the tool was really easy and keeping it updated every day was just as manageable.

Cons

Getting into my account and logging in could be a bit of a trouble at times.

“powerful ecommerce design tools”

Pros

Comes with a wide range of features for building and managing e-commerce websites. It also includes SEO tools and the drag and drop editor gives you a lot of flexibility to customize the look of your site and make it visually appealing.

Cons

The downside is that third party apps and integrations can get pretty expensive and the the editor is not always the easiest to navigate.

“All in one”

Pros

Right from the start it had pretty much everything I needed available in one place. I didn't have to leave the platform or look for outside tools to add features because it was all already there at my fingertips.

Cons

At first, it took me a little time to understand how to add or remove the items I wanted on my website. Once I started experimenting by dragging things around, clicking through options and testing features, it quickly became much more natural to use.

“Ready made options”

Pros

Very easy to get web pages and landing pages up and running especially with the huge selection of ready made templates you can customize. The pages look polished, work really well and there are plenty of useful widgets and design elements to build with.

Cons

A thing that feels lacking is the support experience. I really wish there were a live chat option like some other platforms offer. When trying to contact support, it often sends you through lots of FAQ pages first even when you just need a quick answer.

“so quick!”

Pros

The biggest advantage of this product is how simple it is to use. In just a few minutes, you can already have a website up and running. In such fast-paced times, that makes a huge difference when you're taking your first steps into the digital world.

Cons

Setback has to be the ads included in the free version. Besides that the site tends to have a slower response time on mobile which can be frustrating.

“I'm satisified”

Pros

Starting my company meant I needed a website fast and discovering this tool was a real win. I was pleased to see that I could create and manage my site without much trouble. The instructions are detailed and the whole process feels natural to follow.

Cons

I'd still like to see the platform borrowing a bit more from other builders that are more user friendly for running an online store or a dropshipping business.

“stylish templates”

Pros

There's a wide selection of templates to choose from and getting everything up and running is very easy.

Cons

In some aeas the design flexibility feels a bit restricted.

“costly features and migration headaches”

Pros

When you need to launch a decent-looking landing page or small website quickly, this software does that really well and gets the job done fast.

Cons

There are too many paid features hidden behind the platform including some very basic ones. Moving a site over to WordPress or Drupal is also extremely difficult, almost impossible in some cases. A lot of clients begin with this option and later want to grow or migrate and that usually turns into a frustrating headache.

“Friendly start for new businesses”

Pros

It is really easy to use and very user friendly. It's an affordable way to launch a new business and the templates make getting started quick and without any trouble.

Cons

That same simplicity can become a limitation over time so I wouldn't recommend it as a long-term solution. It worked really well for the first couple of years of my small business but as the business grew, it made more sense to move to another platform that could support a larger customer volume.
