Wix Website Builder Reviews

“Quick website setup and sharing”

Pros

Putting together a professional-looking website doesn't take much time with this software and I can edit things and upload the items I want without much trouble. One of the biggest benefits is how simple it is to share the site with friends and family. There's also a steadily growing selection of templates which gives me more options when building out the look I want.

Cons

A few features are priced more competitively elsewhere and I wasn't able to sell on the software.

“powerful tools for business”

Pros

Between scheduling, project management, articles and fitness features, this platform covers a lot of what matters most. It works well overall and feels practical for general business management, with a setup and workflow that are easy to use.

Cons

Nothing major feels missing though a few features could still be refined in different ways to better support business operations, project management and product marketing. Integrating it into existing business processes can also be somewhat challenging.

“setup done fast”

Pros

The what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor was really well done.

Cons

there's nothing to complain about here. The walkthrough was excellent and I had a site up and running in just one day.

“great builder and integrations”

Pros

It is honestly the best website builder out there. It's absolutely amazing and the integrations are outstanding. With this software, you can accomplish a lot and build exactly what you need without much trouble.

Cons

My only real complaint is the pricing. For small businesses, it can be pretty difficult to afford especially when you're already paying for hosting through another company.

“Templates for every business”

Pros

Designing a site feels very easy and the ready-made templates customized to different types of businesses are really helpful.

Cons

The redirect that appears when you do not pay for hosting is a bit annoying and some of the text feels slightly intrusive.

“handy tools for quick launches”

Pros

I've built two websites with the software, one online store and one corporate site and it works really well as a starting point especially if you already know your way around graphic design software. Everything you need is right there and easy to access. Connecting e-commerce was quick with a PayU account and accepting virtual cards or entering card details wasn't an issue at all. The paid modules are also very practical and add a lot of useful functions.

Cons

Only difficulty I ran into was setting up a multilingual website. That part could definitely be improved further.

“affordable templates that deliver”

Pros

Launching a website with the tool feels much more easy now. One of the biggest benefits is that it's free, unlike some of the older alternatives and the domain prices are reasonable too. The platform also offers ready-made site designs with tools that fit almost any category which saves a lot of time and makes the whole process much more convenient.

Cons

It would be better if the mobile app included as many widgets and features as the standard version.

“friendly integration”

Pros

Using the design management tools along with the customizable templates feels very easy and that makes connecting and integrating with customers much easier. It has been an awesome experience overall.

Cons

The preview functions is the main area that still needs update. Aside from that, the other features do a good job of keeping customer integration simple and user friendly.

“feature-packed website design joy”

Pros

They keep rolling out updates, adding new features and making the platform more user friendly and building a website with it feels very simple overall.

Cons

Like any platform it requires some time to get used to and some limitations to work around. Still, their customer support is excellent and helps a lot whenever it's needed.

“Versatile pages with live chat”

Pros

Creating the websites I manage has been a really positive experience. It lets me add all the content I need including text, images and forms, without much trouble. The chat feature gives me direct, real-time contact with potential clients which is very useful. Videos are also a nice touch because they make the pages more appealing and are simple to add.

Cons

At first getting through all the SEO steps was a bit challenging but after that I was able to rank on Google quite quickly and in a noticeable way.

“beginner friendly site builder”

Pros

Getting started with it feels very beginner friendly. The editor is simple to use and it comes with plenty of useful features that make building a website much more approachable.

Cons

One of the biggest advantages of the software is how easy it is to use. That said it does fall short when it comes to more advanced, high-end customization options.

“appealing for web designers”

Pros

One thing it does really well is offer a free version which makes it appealing for web designers who want to try it out without upfront cost. It's also very beginner friendly so even someone with limited experience can get a site up and running without much trouble. That said there are some major limitations behind the scenes. A lot of the site data is stored in databases that users can't directly access so if you need to make changes like moving to a new domain, you have to reach out to support to handle redirects for your pages. That was ultimately why we stopped using the software. Even with that drawback, I'd still recommend it for beginner to intermediate users because it's quick to set up and works well for a basic personal or small business website.

Cons

It is fine for basic edits and simple design changes but once you need something beyond that, the limitations start to show. Some important functions aren't available to users directly which means you have to contact support and wait for them to make the changes for you. That setup also restricts how much customization you can really do with your website.

“Poor support for store transition”

Pros

Does provide useful help when it comes to building a website. The available templates make the design process easier to follow and much more understandable.

Cons

The downside is that customer service doesn't really assist with building the site or with turning it into an e-commerce store. That transition is where I expected more guidance and support from them.

“Content scheduling and user engagement”

Pros

Scheduling content is very easy and designing spaces for interacting with users works really well.

Cons

Some features were removed especially ones I had already gotten used to using.

“flexible layouts and standout design”

Pros

Right away, it impressed me with how exceptional the designs look and how many pre-built layouts it offers across different industries. It also lets you animate text and other page elements which makes the platform feel very flexible whether you're just starting out or already have development experience.

Cons

A limitation is that once you pick your initial template, changing it later isn't very convenient. You can't simply switch over to a completely different template after making that choice.

“accessible builder with top hosting”

Pros

From the start the interface felt very accessible and it's honestly one of the best website hosting platforms I've ever used.

Cons

Something that was frustrating was not being able to add my personal VAT identification number which meant I paid taxes that were never refunded when I canceled the offer.

“great sites in no time”

Pros

Building a really impressive website with this tool takes very little time and the platform is easy enough that there's barely any difficulty starting off with it. I'm still surprised by how quickly you can put together something that looks polished and professional, to the point that people might assume a web designer made it instead of you.

Cons

The downside is that you have to pay to really use the platform properly and some features are locked behind higher-priced plans. For example, a basic site won't let you sell products and once you start adding premium features, the total cost can feel a bit expensive.

“Weak SEO”

Pros

One thing it does really well is speed. It's amazing how fast you can go from an initial idea to a live website which really cuts down the whole web design process and helps a business get online in a very short time. Even with a few limitations, it still works really well for someone who wants to build their own site and get it published without a long delay.

Cons

On the technical side the software's SEO still feels pretty lacking. Having a site live for potential customers to find is definitely better than having no online presence at all but I wish they paid more attention to the next part of web design too which is actually helping drive visitors to the website.

“impressive features”

Pros

The tool feels very beginner friendly even without any technical background or design skills. The building tools are simple to work with while still giving plenty of flexibility and creative freedom. On top of that, the strong feature set and large app store make it feel like it has almost everything needed to grow and scale a business.

Cons

When you need more advanced functions, you often have to pay extra for third-party apps. Another downside is that once your site is published, you can't switch to a different template unless you rebuild the site from scratch.

“strong customization, limited promotion”

Pros

Platform gives you a lot of freedom to customize the services you offer but to really take full advantage of everything it can do, you need a more than advanced level of knowledge.

Cons

I wasn't able to promote it as effectively as I wanted and the RSVP still remains an issue.
