Wix Website Builder Reviews

“Landing pages up in no time”

Pros

Running around 20 sites, I need something that gets pages live fast. Since most social media platforms won't let you post affiliate links directly, this has been really useful because I can put together a landing page and have it up and running within minutes.

Cons

The downside is the mobile editor, it's pretty bad and doesn't offer the full range of editing options that the desktop editor does.

“wide range of functions”

Pros

With its wide range of features, it helped me launch new products and build online visibility for my small business. I'd definitely recommend it because it's simple to use and gives you plenty of options to match your needs.

Cons

Using it on a laptop feels more convenient although the phone version is still useful too.

“easy to use”

Pros

I genuinely appreciate especially for beginner users just how simple it is to work with. It works really well when you're building the basics though once you need more specific functions, it can be difficult to figure out how to handle certain things.

Cons

Working out how to do certain tasks can be challenging especially something like importing geolocation from a separate API.

“great templates and hosting”

Pros

Building a small website with it feels really easy thanks to its drag and drop editor. It comes with more than 800 templates and they can be customized however you want. It also includes its own web hosting and gives you the option of using a free or paid domain name. Overall it makes creating your own website very simple.

Cons

It isn't really the best fit for larger websites. On top of that using third party plugins can add extra costs.

“Compatible builder”

Pros

One thing I really appreciate is how easy the software is to use. It feels consistent across the product and it works well with the other software I already rely on which makes everything much more convenient.

Cons

The biggest downside is the lack of direct support from an actual person so the whole experience can feel a bit impersonal. On top of that, trying to fix one issue in a completely different section can end up disrupting everything if you're not careful.

“Outdated and too limited”

Pros

At first it served its purpose as a website builder but it doesn't really keep up anymore with the features and functions you get from other more modern platforms. That said it can still be enough if all you need is a very basic website put together quickly without extra tools or any marketing capabilities.

Cons

It feels old and behind the times. Compared with WordPress, you get far fewer features and much less flexibility. I honestly can't see much reason to choose this today unless you simply don't know there are better options available. With it, you're pretty restricted in what you can build and what you can integrate.

“wholesale sync works beautifully”

Pros

Connecting my wholesale products from another company turned out to be one of the best parts of using it. I was genuinely surprised by how quickly and smoothly I could add products from an outside source directly to my site.

Cons

Getting comfortable with the design menu took some time because a few of the labels don't really match what they actually do. For example, there's a "More" menu option that I never would have thought to open even though it contains a lot of important functions for my site.

“affordable site builder win”

Pros

Running my small business website with the software has been a really positive experience. It let me put together and manage a professional looking site on my own without needing to pay a web designer. Since my budget was limited, that made a huge difference and I still ended up with a site that looks polished and impressive.

Cons

I don't have any complaints. It's budget friendly, covers everything I need and the whole platform is easy to use.

“Flexible drag and drop builder”

Pros

Without knowing any coding at all, I can still build what I need by dragging and dropping elements and customizing them pretty much any way I want.

Cons

There are two limitations that stand out. First, the restaurant layout builder doesn't allow free text even though the retail version does. Second, once a horizontal menu is chosen, you can't switch it to a vertical one later or the other way around.

“beautiful sites for my business”

Pros

Back when the software first came out, I started using it and even after more than 10 years, it's still been a big part of how I build online. With very limited design skills, I've managed to create several gorgeous websites on it. It's been something I've genuinely enjoyed using to grow my business.

Cons

It can still feel a little laggy at times and customizing the mobile version is frustrating if you don't know how to code.

“the best!”

Pros

There's a solid variety of templates to choose from and they all look really polished. If you need to put together a website quickly and still want it to look good, this is definitely a strong option.

Cons

At times, I wish there were a few more design choices available although just about everything can still be customized.

“Amazing customer support”

Pros

Whenever I reach out to them, the support team handles my questions like I'm a VIP customer. It comes with excellent options for building a website and there's no need to have web development skills to use it. As long as you have content ready to add, you can get your site together without much trouble.

Cons

One drawback is that the software does not offer an unlimited plan.

“solid features”

Pros

It is reasonably priced and the main set of features works well for creating different kinds of websites. If you need more functions, you can also add it later by purchasing extension apps.

Cons

It's frustrating that once you start building your site with a particular template, you're stuck with it and can't switch to another one just to compare options.

“Simple to manage”

Pros

Won me over mostly because of the pricing. I checked out a couple of other website builders but by the time I got to the third one, I stopped looking and signed up with this option. The simplicity was another big plus. I actually paid someone to handle the initial setup but after that, I was able to take over and manage it on my own without much trouble.

Cons

I do wish there were a few more templates that felt less generic along with more options for drop-down features.

“Client-focused website builder”

Pros

Everything about it feels centered around the client experience, from the first impression on the landing page all the way through to the site manager itself.

Cons

The biggest reason you may want to avoid using it for your website is that it's not really built for professional web designers.

“perfect fit for beginners”

Pros

The template options and section layouts are really well designed. It's very user friendly even for someone who hasn't built a website before.

Cons

A limitation comes up on our past events page. Some events have videos while others only have photos but the platform doesn't really support mixing those formats on the same page. Everything has to follow one consistent format so it would be much better if both could be displayed together.

“portfolio freedom that delivers”

Pros

It gave me the kind of creative freedom I was hoping for. Being able to build exactly what I wanted without coding was honestly a huge win and it helped me put together the personal portfolio I had been wanting for a long time. The final result turned out really well and I'm genuinely glad this was the tool that made it possible.

Cons

The image gallery features still need improvement. At first, it looks like there are plenty of portfolio display options but I noticed pretty quickly that they don't always format the way they should. If that part were more reliable or had a better fix, I'd be very happy.

“modern templates”

Pros

There's a strong selection of modern templates to choose from and the platform feels very extensive overall. It offers plenty of features for building all kinds of websites and integrating apps from the App Store is pretty easy.

Cons

Issue is that third party plugins can get expensive and the ecommerce side still needs more detailed expansion.

“helpful guidance for music sites”

Pros

When I used it for a music website, it pointed me in the right direction on how to build something that looked appealing. It also includes examples of well-designed sites from other users which is really helpful when you're just getting started.

Cons

I did run into a few glitches with it before. I'm still hesitant to change or delete older content because it once messed up the booking button and my customers were unable to schedule.

“keeps things organized”

Pros

Getting started with it is easy and putting everything together doesn't take much effort. It also keeps the site looking polished and professional throughout.

Cons

Setting up a website still takes some time although it's quicker than using other alternatives.
