Wix Website Builder Reviews

“didactic builder with handy tools”

Pros

I really appreciated how clearly the platform guides you through everything. It feels very didactic and it offers several useful features to build new websites and manage them without a lot of bureaucracy or unnecessary trouble.

Cons

The part I liked the least is that the free version could include a wider variety of template options.

“love it”

Pros

Building a website with the software feels incredibly easy. Its drag and drop editor is really the core strength of the platform making it possible for almost anyone to create a site based on their own needs without much trouble. On top of that, the add-ons are very well done. The design quality is also quite good although having even more customization choices would make it better. Features such as media uploads, enquiry forms and instant chat are especially useful additions.

Cons

An issue the software really needs to improve is the way a desktop website gets converted into the mobile version. After putting together the desktop site, the mobile layout often ends up completely disorganized, to the point where editing it feels almost like rebuilding the whole website again for mobile.

“fast setup and responsive store”

Pros

Pretty easy to use and I had my personal project photos uploaded within minutes. I also set up the built-in eCommerce features quickly which helped me attract more customers and the site itself felt efficient and responsive the whole time.

Cons

The built-in templates could definitely be better especially for supporting a wider range of businesses. It would also be really useful if the templates were organized into section-based categories to make browsing and choosing easier.

“user friendly website builder”

Pros

Right away, the software feels like a really nice website builder. It's simple enough for anyone to use, the interface is good and all of the features work well.

Cons

It's been good but the only downside is that the support isn't working as well as it should.

“Drag and drop website freedom”

Pros

I really enjoy about the software is how simple it is to use. The drag and drop setup makes building a site feel very easy and user friendly.

Cons

The downside is that many of the templates are pretty limited and do not come with a lot of features.

“good design tools”

Pros

Building a site with the software feels very user friendly and it gives people the freedom to create a website the way they want. I've been using it since 2021 and I've really enjoyed the features it offers. It's simple to work with and comes with plenty of useful tools and functions.

Cons

Issue is that the software website addresses always come with "wix" included in the domain name.

“Great platform for online selling”

Pros

Running sales through this platform has been excellent. It's one of the best-growing apps for selling and it works really well for everything from physical products to gift cards. On top of that, it comes with plenty of other useful features that make the whole experience even better.

Cons

Everything offered in this app has been amazing.

“creative templates and responsive support”

Pros

Comes with a lot of strong points: plenty of customization options including the ability to use illustrations and artistic templates to enhance your site and even create your own professional logo. The customer support is very accessible and really listens when you need help. App integrations are also very easy especially with tools like PayPal.

Cons

I don't see any major downsides with the software overall. That said there are times when websites built on the software feel a bit lacking in speed.

“slow and laggy builder”

Pros

I gave the software a try but honestly there wasn't anything that really stood out to me or made me want to keep using it.

Cons

The platform feels slow and laggy while using it and beyond that whether it works for someone really just comes down to personal preference.

“flexible builder with solid security”

Pros

Building pages with the drag and drop editor feels very easy. One of the software's biggest strengths compared with other CMS platforms is how user friendly the interface is. It also does a good job with security without slowing the site down.

Cons

One downside is that the starter plan puts ads on your website. The plans also aren't unlimited and both storage and bandwidth come with limits.

“my thoughts”

Pros

Right away, the flexibility stood out to me. I was able to showcase a project with every stage clearly and the platform was simple to work with. The templates give you a really helpful starting point and being able to edit each page afterward makes a big difference. I could adjust the colors and overall style to match my theme without any trouble. I also really appreciated how convenient it was to embed digital books and other websites using embed code.

Cons

I did not run into any real drawbacks though I think it could be priced a bit lower for teachers. That is just my personal opinion.

“responsive website builder delight”

Pros

Even without any programming background, I was able to build my own website without much trouble. Another thing I really appreciated is how responsive the site is--when you resize the browser, it still looks really good.

Cons

They really need to put more attention into their support and call center.

“Customizable”

Pros

The drag and drop editor is what I enjoy most, along with the built-in templates and how simple they are to customize.

Cons

At times I want to connect my own database but that part feels difficult to work with.

“templates for creative sites”

Pros

There's a huge range of templates to choose from and they're very customizable so it's possible to tweak them a lot to match what the user wants.

Cons

It leans more toward personal creative design than the more standard website layouts people often expect especially when building blog sites.

“simple setup”

Pros

Very easy to use even for someone without much technical experience. Having some basic computer knowledge helps but the platform comes with plenty of built-in tools that can be customized without much effort to fit what you need.

Cons

My biggest frustration is the calendar integration. It only seems to work properly when it's linked to a Google Calendar that's separate from the email account you normally use.

“Fast website building and hosting”

Pros

Using the software makes it easy to design, build, launch and manage polished, modern websites in less time. Editing pages is uncomplicated and the web hosting side is just as convenient.

Cons

It's a user friendly and affordable website builder and I don't have anything specific to complain about.

“affordable site building delight”

Pros

Getting a website up and running with the software is fairly easy and the pricing stays quite reasonable too.

Cons

Customization can still be a bit tricky at times especially for anyone who isn't very familiar with HTML.

“welcoming setup”

Pros

Getting started felt very welcoming especially for someone with no prior experience and the sign-up process was quick and simple. Another thing I appreciated was the part I'd call the "guide," where it asks about your business logo, the type of business you have and similar details. It's basically a way for them to understand the user better and then show pre-made templates based on the information collected. That said those ready-made templates are pretty mediocre so I'd suggest improving them. For users, I'd actually recommend starting with a blank template instead and letting your own creativity take over.

Cons

Aside from the pre-made templates, my biggest issue is the pricing for buying a domain. I originally rated it as kind of expensive but thinking about it now, I'd place it even more on the expensive side. There are plenty of other domain sellers offering much cheaper prices and some even provide the same one-year length or longer for less.

“fun website building toolkit”

Pros

Creating a website with this software feels fun and simple. It comes with plenty of editing tools, a free image gallery, effective booking and payment features and SEO integration.

Cons

Issue is that the platform can be fairly slow to load and update. It also uses a lot of data and needs strong hardware performance to run well.

“EASY ON THE POCKET”

Pros

After paying a friend $5-10K to build my website, I was frustrated that I couldn't even make simple updates on my own. With the software, I get the functions I wanted, a professional-looking front end and the freedom to adjust things myself. I really love the platform and feel like it gives me everything I need at a very affordable price.

Cons

Rreporting tools feel pretty average. They cover the basics but if I want more detailed insights, I have to export the data and handle the deeper analysis manually.
