Wix Website Builder Reviews

“tools for growing sites”

Pros

Works as a very flexible website CMS and it fits both beginners and more experienced web developers really well. As your skills improve, it already has the tools and resources you need to keep updating and enhancing your site. That flexibility also carries over to things like stored databases, dynamic pages and forms.

Cons

One problem it really needs to address is how a site converts from desktop to mobile. Once the mobile version is created, the desktop layout can end up completely thrown off and it often feels like you would be better off starting from scratch when editing the mobile version.

“I like the site building tools”

Pros

Making and designing a website with this software has been really simple and the features have been incredibly useful. I especially love the invoices feature and end up using it all the time.

Cons

There haven't been any major issues for me up to this point. I'm very happy with the software overall.

“preview before publishing”

Pros

Being able to preview changes before the site goes live is a big plus. It lets me check exactly how everything will look before making it public for everyone to see.

Cons

I'm still getting familiar with the reporting tools and there's definitely quite a bit to learn.

“so easy to use”

Pros

The step-by-step guides make building and editing a website very easy. There are plenty of customization choices for colors, sizes, fonts, backgrounds and more and once you get familiar with how everything works making edits becomes very manageable.

Cons

Resizing photos to shrink them into place can be frustrating. It also tends to stall at times and when a lot of objects are layered on top of each other, it gets tricky to select the right one or reshape what I'm trying to work on.

“Best solution!”

Pros

Has been an excellent option for web design. It comes with plenty of free templates and putting them to use for a website is very easy. The drag and drop editor is really impressive and the built-in SEO features are a big plus as well.

Cons

It doesn't go very deep when it comes to detailed customization and page loading can be slow at times. Another limitation is that once you begin working with a template online, you can't switch to a different one.

“allows flexibility”

Pros

A really user friendly platform for building a website and it comes with plenty of useful features. The drag and drop editor made the whole process simple and the templates looked really good as well. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a easy platform for creating a website.

Cons

I'm very happy with the product overall though there are still a few minor areas that could be better. One thing I'd like is the option to create a footer menu that's different from the main navigation menu. That said these are pretty small issues and they're usually not too frustrating and in some cases they can be worked around.

“quick start but pricing gets in the way”

Pros

Getting started is fast even for people with no prior experience. Pretty much anyone can put together a website with it and that makes the whole process feel engaging.

Cons

The business model, domain name management and the watermarks leave a bad impression although some of that can be reduced if you spend a bit more.

“no-code web creation”

Pros

I've enjoyed most that you don't need any technical knowledge to build a website. This software makes the whole process simple and it also gives you plenty of visual options to work with including images, photos, audio and more. The feature I enjoy most is being able to add a link to my social media accounts.

Cons

I haven't come across anything notable to dislike about this software.

“versatile tools and enjoyable building”

Pros

The times I've used it have been mainly for academic projects and the experience was very pleasant and enriching thanks to the wide library of tools available.

Cons

The drag and drop button can be a bit tricky when trying to move things precisely within the design.

“Powerful website and ecommerce hub”

Pros

Has been an excellent platform for building websites and running eCommerce and it also goes far beyond that with useful tools for events, bookings, blogging, marketing and more.

Cons

One area that could still use some update is payment management especially when it comes to reports and dashboard functions.

“great drag and drop builder”

Pros

The drag and drop editor is great and really simple to work with. It's ideal for anyone who doesn't have any background in web design.

Cons

The free plan adds a watermark which can make the site look less professional and potentially turn some clients away.

“best website design platform”

Pros

After trying a lot of website design products, this turned out to be the best option compared with the others I used.

Cons

It covers website design, online store features and it's simple to use overall.

“simple website setup”

Pros

Being able to get a decent website up and running is pretty easy especially if you don't know how to code.

Cons

One thing that really bothers me is that the mobile version doesn't format itself automatically. Having to go back and fix both the mobile site and the main site is incredibly frustrating.

“helpful tools for beginners”

Pros

Starting off with this software is easy and it comes with very useful tools. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who is new to building websites.

Cons

That said there are still a few negative points that need to be improved.

“accessible builder with polished templates”

Pros

It lets you build a professional-looking website without needing much technical knowledge or any coding. The drag and drop system makes putting pages together feel very simple. The interface is accessible and pleasant to use and there are plenty of tutorials available to guide users along the way. It also comes with a good selection of starter templates and the free version already includes quite a lot.

Cons

With the free plan you can't use a custom domain name. Google SEO performance also isn't the best.

“friendly DIY website builder”

Pros

Building a site is quick, easy and very user friendly overall. It has that true DIY feel which makes it a really solid option if you want to put a website together yourself without much trouble.

Cons

The biggest downside is the price since it feels pretty expensive for what it offers. I do think there are other options out there that can give you better value.

“affordable website updates”

Pros

Making and managing our website with using this software has been really easy and any changes can be updated right away. The pricing feels reasonable too which makes it even better.

Cons

I don't have any complaints about it and wouldn't want to change a thing.

“creative freedom”

Pros

There's practically no limit to what you can build for your site with this platform even things that can be hard to pull off with programming languages. Having so many ready-made templates to start from is definitely helpful especially when you already have an idea in mind. It's ideal for anyone who doesn't know how to build websites because with just a little familiarity you can still create one in a short time.

Cons

The pricing is a bit on the high side and some templates are built in Flash so they can't be viewed on iOS devices like the iPhone.

“web design that saves time”

Pros

Creating pages has been especially helpful because the web forms and design tools are what stand out most to me. As a small business owner, it makes the whole process much more manageable. It also doesn't take nearly as much time as some other software and getting around the platform is very easy.

Cons

I don't have any negatives to point out right now and I can't really think of anything that needs update at this point. My experience using the software has been very positive overall.

“beginner friendly website builder”

Pros

So easy to get started with this platform especially as a beginner. Everything feels pretty accessible and self-explanatory which makes building a site much less overwhelming. In my opinion, it's the best website builder out there.

Cons

The app has been a little buggy at times though nothing too serious. I do wish there were more free graphics available to use but it's not a major issue since you can always upload your own.
