Wix Website Builder Reviews

“fast pages”

Pros

Comes with plenty of templates to choose from and they're simple to customize so your site feels like your own. It's a really polished website builder and works well on mobile too. Whether you're putting together an online store or a blog, it handles both without trouble. Page loading speeds are quite fast and the software has become SEO-friendly as well so websites built on it have a solid chance of ranking in search results just like sites or blogs made with WordPress.

Cons

The biggest downside with the software is that if you decide to stop using it, moving or transferring your website elsewhere isn't really an option. On top of that, switching templates is not convenient at all. You basically have to keep the one you started with or rebuild the whole site from scratch with a different template.

“flexible templates that keep me hooked”

Pros

Has been my go to because the pre made templates make website design much more manageable. Every site I've built on it has started with a template and being able to change or swap components around so quickly is a big reason I keep coming back to it.

Cons

Something that gets frustrating is the limited selection of components. There are times when I have to build certain elements from scratch and that can end up taking a lot more time than I'd like.

“great templates and business tools”

Pros

The template designs and page layouts look outstanding and the flexibility is one of the biggest reasons I enjoy using the software. I can animate text and other elements without much trouble which helps the site feel more polished. There are also hundreds of apps I can add, like newsletter tools, live chat and online booking widgets so it covers a lot of different website needs. the software ADI is a nice bonus, automatic backups are reassuring and the business features are genuinely strong.

Cons

The pricing is still a downside especially since the cheapest ad-free plan, Combo, starts at $16 per month while some competitors are more affordable. Another frustration is that switching templates is not very convenient once the site is built. On top of that some third-party plugins come with extra costs which can add up over time.

“customizable templates”

Pros

Right away it stood out to me for its templates and the huge range of options that let me make a site feel completely original and personal. I also really appreciate being able to add anchors so visitors can jump straight to the sections I want them to see. On top of that I can upload plenty of my own content and update it whenever I need toeven daily. Having the domain and website managed together in one place is another big plus.

Cons

I'm not happy that the customer support isn't available unless I pay extra. I'm also not a fan of how restrictive some of the layouts can be.

“efficient tools for every business”

Pros

Was so easy to start working with from installation to onboarding. The platform is very user friendly especially for people without a coding background and it helps manage a wide range of business activities in one place. Customer support has also been very helpful whenever needed.

Cons

I really haven't had any major complaints about this product. Occasionally, there are some minor lags but aside from that, it has been wonderful to use.

“great drag and drop flexibility”

Pros

Being able to choose from so many available elements and simply drag the ones you want onto the site is great.

Cons

The tools and resources for building a brand inside the software are somewhat limited.

“best choice for thesis sites”

Pros

Was really simple to use for building a website. I tested a few options for my thesis and this one turned out to be the best choice.

Cons

A few modules can be difficult to reposition when you want to drag them around and place them somewhere new.

“built a site on my own”

Pros

It let me handle everything on my own without needing any help and I was able to put together the basic minimum of what I needed.

Cons

I'm still very unfamiliar with what I'm doing and I ended up buying something through them without really understanding what I had purchased.

“drag and drop favorite”

Pros

To me this is the best platform for building websites. It's very user friendly, with a drag and drop editor that feels exceptionally fluid and accessible. I highly recommend it because it delivers a really satisfying experience. The platform also comes with a solid range of features, both free and paid.

Cons

That said there are still a few downsides. The templates can't be swapped once you've chosen one, the free plan includes the software branding and tracking plus analytics are only available with a paid subscription. Websites also aren't transferable which can be limiting.

“beginner friendly website builder”

Pros

Building a website with it is genuinely possible even without any prior experience and there are paid tools available if you want to expand what you can do.

Cons

One downside is that the answers you give at the beginning affect the overall experience but you can't go back and change them later.

“campaign open tracking helps”

Pros

It's useful being able to see whether the recipient actually opened the campaign.

Cons

Using it can be difficult and I still need help with it from time to time.

“beginner friendly website creation”

Pros

What I appreciate most about it is that absolutely anyoneeven without any prior experience, can build their own blog or website.

Cons

Felt almost perfect to me although there were times when I ran into a few difficulties while using the editor.

“powerful website tools”

Pros

Using this platform feels very easy and the range of features it gives users makes it an excellent choice for web hosting and website design.

Cons

The only downside is that payment processing is not immediate and usually takes about a week before the money reaches the account.

“Strong features at your fingertips”

Pros

There are a lot of features included and everything you need is right there at your fingertips.

Cons

If you don't have much experience with the platform, building your site can be a bit challenging at first.

“product setup was a breeze”

Pros

Once the website was up and running, adding products was easy and didn't take much effort.

Cons

Mobile version really fell short and often wasn't very user friendly so customers had to shop from a computer instead. The pricing also felt expensive. Compared with the software, Shopify connects with more apps and is simpler to work with. Even my developer recommended switching and she was still in school at the time yet she still found the software challenging to use.

“Affordable hosting”

Pros

Making a website with this software feels very easy and there's barely any difficulty at all. It comes with plenty of templates and extensions that add extra features to sites which makes the platform feel very flexible. I also really appreciate the pricing and hosting choices since they're affordable and include a lot of useful website management tools.

Cons

The only real downside is that there isn't a free version for students. It would be nice if they offered one because I think it would help bring in even more users.

“creative freedom I needed”

Pros

Being able to design my page exactly the way I want gives me a lot of creative freedom and that's what I love most about it.

Cons

Don't really have any complaints besides the price but then again, who doesn't prefer free things, right? lol

“helpful analytics”

Pros

The drag and drop editor and ready-made templates really change the whole website-building process. It makes designing a site feel accessible for pretty much anyone especially beginners. It's one of the best options out there for someone just starting out. I also appreciate that it tracks visitor data on the website which is genuinely very useful.

Cons

At times, videos can be a bit laggy and shrinking the file size doesn't seem to solve it. It doesn't happen all the time but it can still be frustrating when it does.

“Best tool”

Pros

Creating a website with it feels very easy because the platform offers really strong features that let you create and design pages without needing a lot of effort. The guidance and details the software provides also make it much easier for anyone to put together a professional-looking website.

Cons

Does offer an impressive range of professionally designed templates but once you pick one, changing to a different template later isn't really possible. It also feels fairly expensive for students.

“practical page building experience”

Pros

Building pages with this tool feels very easy and it's simple to handle while putting the site together.

Cons

One thing that's missing is clear information about the ideal image sizes to upload to the site including for direct downloads. When editing images in some layouts, they can end up looking far too large or too small.
