Wix Website Builder Reviews

“powerful tools for creators”

Pros

Between the appointment features, store builder, app integrations, checkout options, video settings, live streaming and podcast hosting, it packs a lot into one platform. It covers a wide range of needs especially if you're building a content-driven or service-based website.

Cons

Problem is that adding a store costs extra and some other apps also come with additional fees.

“Swift setup”

Pros

Quite simple to start off with the software and the more time you spend with it, the more extra features you discover to improve your website and business. It feels fast and easy to use.

Cons

Using the software is generally simple but it does take a while to fully understand the value of all the options it offers. I'm still figuring out some of it.

“I enjoy using”

Pros

Comes with a wide range of features that I really enjoy using. It offers tools for building new websites, managing content, editing images and handling SEO, all in one place.

Cons

Something they could improve is offering a free domain for a limited period to their users.

“good for newbies”

Pros

Starting off with it feels very easy and even the basic package comes with a surprisingly generous set of features.

Cons

The website editor can be really glitchy at times and it has moved or deleted layers on my site even when I wasn't touching anything.

“many site building options”

Pros

Working with with this product is very easy. It gives you plenty of ways to build a website that fits the specific industry or business you're working in. Data export is also very efficient which is a real plus.

Cons

There are quite a few additional settings and features that require paying extra.

“Quick website creation”

Pros

Is so to use and it comes with plenty of useful features that let you build impressive websites in just a few minutes.

Cons

Paid plans can become pricey although the free version works really well when you're just getting started.

“I love it!”

Pros

Building with this platform feels very easy and I can change or update my site as many times as I want. For me, it has been the best option and the right alternative.

Cons

Subscription is really the only downside I can mention. Some of the pricing plans feel a bit expensive and I do not always have enough money to afford them.

“affordable plans offered”

Pros

Offers budget friendly pricing with plenty of package options so it works well for different budgets. It's also very easy to use especially for an experienced web designer. It's not as accessible as building a site from scratch with code but that's really not the goal here. Even beginners can get the hang of it fairly fast after spending the first day figuring a few things out.

Cons

There isn't really anything essential missing. That said I still prefer hard coding when I build websites because it gives me more flexibility, control and room for creativity. The back-office navigation could definitely be more organized since tracking down or moving back to a specific feature can sometimes take quite a while. It would also help if users had the option to customize the dashboard.

“Has powerful tools”

Pros

Strikes a really nice balance between being simple to use and still offering advanced features for people who want more control when building a site.

Cons

Honestly I haven't come across anything about it that I dislike.

“Don't need programming”

Pros

Making a website with the ready made templates on this platform was the part I enjoyed most. It's especially helpful for anyone who doesn't know programming or web development because the whole process is very user friendly. There are also plenty of features you can add to your site including contact forms, customer testimonials, image galleries, videos and more.

Cons

Part I liked least is that the free version gives your site a domain with the "my site" naming format and I wish that looked more polished and user friendly. I also felt the SEO tools were quite limited which matters a lot since SEO is such an important part of any website. That said I believe those issues are addressed once you move to the paid version.

“helpful for blogging”

Pros

One thing that really made a difference for me with this software is how much I was able to learn while using it. It helped me handle things like setting up my schedule, editing my blog and even posting content for my small business.

Cons

You really have to stay familiar with everything you create in your account. It also requires a very strong internet connection before you can publish your event.

“Hebrew language support”

Pros

Something that really worked well for me is the way the templates are designed, they look polished and visually appealing. I also appreciate that the platform supports Hebrew which is very important for my needs. Another big plus is that websites I've built are kept for a long time instead of being deleted so I can come back and use them later. The pricing also feels reasonable for what it offers.

Cons

Putting a website together does take some time to learn and there are moments when it can be a bit hard to understand how to do certain things.

“great for building websites”

Pros

Being able to build my own website has been excellent. The recent updates have really made the app and its services better and it has become very helpful for organizing and sharing data and information.

Cons

One drawback is that the available tools still feel quite limited and aren't as customizable as I would want. Also since the latest update, notifications no longer arrive on my phone and just keep loading indefinitely.

“Good visual editing”

Pros

Choosing a starting point takes me longer than building the actual site because the software has so many polished templates across different categories. Once I get going, the drag and drop tools and visual page editing make the whole process fun and interactive instead of feeling like work.

Cons

I'd still like to see more flexibility in the hosting pricing plans. More reasonable monthly options, instead of ones that cost around ten times the standard rates, would be a much better place to start.

“all in one tool”

Pros

Is an all in one platform I'd definitely recommend. The integrations between its products work really well and make it possible to build almost any type of website. The templates give you a lot of room to customize although it's best to stick fairly close to the original concept if you're not a designer because things can get messy fast. Pricing feels fair for everything that's included. Whether you want a simple website or something much more advanced, this is a solid option.

Cons

The editor can be pretty laggy and it freezes now and then. I've also run into some strange bugs when changing the position of elements on the page.

“free templates”

Pros

You can put together a free website, customize it and get it live within minutes. With ready made templates, built-in forms and drag and drop tools, the whole process is fast and easy, then just like that, your new site is up.

Cons

My only real complaint is that the free version could offer more features. That said it is free and the paid plans seem to include pretty much everything if you're willing to spend the money.

“solid features”

Pros

Right away, it gave me a clean and professional looking website without much effort. Creating pages is quick, the interface feels accessible and it doesn't take long to learn how everything works. The pricing is also very reasonable for what you get so the quality-to-cost ratio feels really good. I also appreciate that it includes basic SEO settings which helps with site optimization and there's a nice variety of apps you can add for extra functions like bookings, email marketing, calendars, ads and more. On top of that the software's all in one contact management is really useful for keeping everything organized.

Cons

A limitation is that you can't access the HTML or CSS source code which can be frustrating if you want deeper customization. It also doesn't include an email address tied to your domain name. Another downside is that if you decide to change the design later, you may end up having to rebuild all of your content. Also it does not offer analytics on the free plan.

“creative website building functions”

Pros

Putting together a creative website is much easier with this tool especially because some parts of the system feel automated and help speed up the whole process.

Cons

I haven't run into any major problems with it although it can be a bit slow from time to time.

“Best one out there”

Pros

Compared with a lot of website builders I've tried, this one feels far more advanced! It comes with plenty of impressive features that are genuinely fun to use. For beginners the platform is very easy and precise. The drag and drop editor means there's no need for coding and it makes it possible to build attractive websites in very little time. There are also tons of useful widgets and elements to experiment with whether you're creating a personal site or something for a business. Other than that optimizing for both mobile and desktop is quick and without any trouble.

Cons

After trying other website builders like Squarespace, it still seems to offer more when it comes to optimization and design flexibility. That said one part that feels a little unclear is connecting a custom domain which was somewhat confusing for me. I'd really like to see that process made more easy in the future. Aside from that I don't have much else to criticize. It is a solid platform for the services it offers.

“good tools but dated look”

Pros

The platform itself and the service around it are good. It comes with ready made tools and templates that help when building and setting up a website and support along with other useful services is available.

Cons

The website could use a better overall appearance, quicker order processing and more direct support.
