Wix Website Builder Reviews

“appealing designs, outdated interface”

Pros

It had a colorful look some really unique promotional ideas and site designs that felt thoughtful and appealing.

Cons

The interface felt dated and was difficult to use especially on lower end monitors.

“quick website launch”

Pros

The templates make it simple to get a website up and running without much trouble.

Cons

The design options feel somewhat restricted and the photo editing tools are fairly limited as well.

“versatile site builder for sales”

Pros

Having a complete, fully functional website for almost any purpose is a huge advantage and when they added the Mercado Pago payment gateway, it became even better for anyone who needed an online store.

Cons

Even though the platform is constantly updated with improvements and fixes, I still don't like that some code customizations can't be added and that the site can't be exported. Still, that makes sense considering it's built within the platform.

“quick setup”

Pros

Building a professional-looking site with the software doesn't take long thanks to its accessible drag and drop editor, plenty of customizable templates and solid SEO and e-commerce features. It's a really practical option for getting a polished website up and running fast.

Cons

One limitation with the software is that changing templates after your site is published isn't very flexible and a lot of the more advanced features are tied to paid plans. That can feel a bit limiting if you want more design freedom while keeping costs down.

“accessible drag and drop builder”

Pros

Putting pages together feels very easy thanks to the drag and drop editor for website elements.

Cons

At times, certain components lag and layouts that look fine on a full screen don't always adapt well on smaller devices.

“powerful store management tools”

Pros

From payment gateways to inventory tracking and product catalogs, the software includes a full set of tools to set up and run an online store effectively.

Cons

The entry-level plans are reasonably priced but adding premium apps or more advanced features can make the overall cost rise quite a bit.

“Simple updates”

Pros

Over the past 4-5 years, I've been using the software for my photography website and the platform has consistently offered clean-looking designs. It's also very easy to build pages and make updates whenever I need to change something.

Cons

At times making design changes inside a template can be a little tricky although I can usually work it out in the end.

“great for beginner websites”

Pros

This platform proved to be really beginner friendly because it comes with plenty of templates and it's simple to add your own colors and logos to match your brand.

Cons

The platform felt a little frustrating to use at first and there's definitely some effort needed if you want to make the most of everything your website can offer.

“helpful free website builder”

Pros

Using the software was simple and the free version was really helpful while I was figuring things out.

Cons

The downside is that the free plan only includes limited tools so there's only so much you can complete with it.

“effective features”

Pros

Built with small businesses, restaurants, online shops, musicians, photographers and artists in mind, the software comes with a really appealing set of themes. There are more than 900 free templates available and each one can be customized to fit your needs. They are designed to look good on mobile devices too although you might still need to tweak the layout a bit. the software also has an App Market with plenty of apps that can add more functions. There is a free plan to get started but if you want extra features like priority support, a custom domain or selling tools, you'll need to move to a paid option. Plans range from Light to Business Elite, with more pricing and plan details available.

Cons

Getting around the software can be difficult when you're just starting out. It can feel a bit complex and you may end up needing to watch a YouTube tutorial to figure some things out.

“practical tools”

Pros

The functions are really practical and the platform is very simple to use overall.

Cons

One part I did struggle with was the responsive editing especially when switching between the desktop and mobile views while making changes.

“great tools for quick websites”

Pros

Putting a webpage together with the software was very easy. The social media integrations worked reliably and the SEO tools were also really helpful for building visibility.

Cons

One downside was that the pages didn't adapt very well when viewed in tablet format.

“can make quick edits”

Pros

Getting started with it is pretty easy and uploading images or adding written content is simple to do.

Cons

One thing that feels lacking is the invoicing side because after creating an invoice I can't really track whether the item was delivered the way Shopify allows.

“simple website customization”

Pros

Creating and customizing a website with the software feels effortless even if you don't have any coding knowledge.

Cons

the software has been excellent to use and I really haven't come across anything to complain about.

“easy interface”

Pros

Both the admin side and the user-facing interface are clear and easy to work with.

Cons

There are times when finding the right customer support option can be a little confusing.

“simple start, rising costs”

Pros

Quite simple and easy to use and the pricing is quite affordable at the beginning.

Cons

The costs go up quickly and once you're in, it's not that simple to move away. The AI solution also still feels very underdeveloped.

“building sites feels effortless”

Pros

Designing your own website is very easy with the software especially if you stay focused on what you want to build.

Cons

One downside at the time I used it was the lack of live chat support with a real person although that was back in 2016.

“user friendly editor for quick websites”

Pros

The drag and drop editor was the highlight for me.. it's very accessible and makes putting together a professional-looking website fast and easy even if you don't have any technical background.

Cons

The downside with the software is that all that flexibility can sometimes affect performance since heavily customized sites may load more slowly than they do on some other platforms.

“flexible design tools shine”

Pros

Building a polished website with the software feels very approachable thanks to its drag and drop editor which makes the whole process simple even if you're just starting out. There's a big selection of templates and design features so it's easy to be creative and the ability to adjust nearly every element helps the site match your own style and vision. The built-in SEO features and app integrations are another strong advantage especially when you want to improve functions and boost visibility.

Cons

One frustrating part of the software is that after you pick a template, you can't switch to another one without rebuilding the site from the beginning. On top of that although the platform includes plenty of features, the more advanced customization can still feel somewhat restrictive for developers who want deeper coding control. Pricing is also something to watch since it can get expensive for bigger websites or businesses that need premium tools and features.

“All in one but pricey upgrades”

Pros

It does make building things more manageable and it feels somewhat like an all-in-one solution right out of the box.

Cons

The pricing is where it gets frustrating because everything feels like an extra charge. It's always upgrade this or pay more for that which is annoying when I'm already paying and still expected to spend more.
