I have used the Wix platform for the last 2 months and was told that it could be connected to my CRM and other social media accounts by someone who recommended the service to me but in reality the only thing it is good for is creating a page for someone to click on. When trying to reach out to the company to cancel services they refused to refund the ridiculous amount of money for mediocre services that they "provide." I would not recommend this site to anyone looking to start a creditable business and if you do, make sure you make the decision to cancel within the first 14 days of purchasing a "premium" package.

thought GoDaddy was the pits, but these guys suck. No help. They sell G suite and can't help. No help available. like all the other socially inept tech companies, they make it a total hassle to get in touch with an actual person. Big mistake. I still have my site but am totally on my own, would change if wasn't such a hassle.

The site looked so promising but after numerous attempts to create a site gave up.The site crashed many times wouldn't allow me to insert information. Its a pity because when I checked out what was available it looked just right for me. Wont waste any more effort on this one. Useless

I spent week and weeks putting together a beautiful website....then demo'd it out only to find out it isn't compatible with Mac's--buttons all overlapping, font and sizing off, colors off. What a mess!! Go elsewhere.

wix platform has made more efficient and productive, by not coding everything and having an html app i have been able to build websites that have a great and professional look. I recommend everybody to try it out it is pretty easy to use, and can bring the opportunity to everyone to enter to a new industry.

Wix is a wonderful tool. As a Wix Pro I love how I can design sites on Wix and transfer the design to my customers Wix account so they can feel secure. I have alot of customers that contact me because their previous web designer holds all the keys but with Wix I can easily transfer the finished design to their account. I also like Wix because I can provide my customers with a wix link so they can see the progress of their design. I myself use a Wix HTML 5 design for my website and I like how it can be viewed on any device and the app freebies that it comes with. I also like how I can integrate my tumblr blog right on my website.

Wix is very good tool i mean 80% of 100% i can give to wix, what is missing are the possibility to have search field and to change backgrounds to each site and that wix should develop some more wix widgets that are free. What but the biggest problem is, if have one account that i manage my clients, and the pictures folder i can not organize the pictures to each client and that is a something that should be made better. But wix.com is great!

Wix is very user friendly and offers apps that are useful to all when designing a website. Their support team is great as well. Any question that I had, was always answered from their website.

I used to work with other platform for building website, but I changed to WIX and I'm very happy and more important - my clients are happy!

I have built over 9 sites with Wix for my clients. I have been building sites since 1997. Wix makes me life much easier and my clients find it very easy to use after I give them a training. My only wishes are-- to know how to drag items into the footer because sometimes I can't do that. I also have been having problems making a phone number into a link so that on mobile, it brings up the action to make a Call. I know you have a few apps, and I love the new mobile view, but not all my clients want that. So a simple html phone link cannot be done using the Web URL in the link tool at this present time. I used to be able to enter: tel number and now that does not work. I wish there was a way to download the entire site and back it up locally. My clients like the site history feature, but we would all feel better if there was a way to download all the assets and html just in case your servers go down. Wix support is very reliable and excellent. I will continue to recommend Wix and use it as a tool to build sites. I look forward to better templates where we can customize fonts and do more of a WYSIWYG layout as you have with the desktop layouts.

I've spent countless hours developing a site from scratch, and while the end result was a site that met clients needs and satisfaction, Wix has streamlined that process and placed control in the hands of clients, especially with regard to content management. Other aspects of website development which would have required a great deal of custom programming are now build it to the Wix platform using apps and plugins. Once again, the cost savings to clients is significant. Design elements provide for very professional looking sites. Image galleries are a cinch to develop, as are basic contact forms and adding blogs and other features that clients consider critical to their site. Overall, Wix has made my life much easier and reduced the upfront cost of developing a site significantly. The recurring monthly cost is generally acceptable to clients who choose to use premium features. Wix support has been very good as well. My two concerns at this point are: 1. If Wix should be sold and my customers are left without the support they need. 2. Browsers crashing due to the Wix engine overloading it. I can live with this for now as long as I save regularly. Otherwise Wix gets a 98 percent rating in my books.

Plateforme très intuitive, simple d'utilisation, moderne et ergonomique. Wix vous permet également d'avoir un référencement optimum car tous les outils sont disponibles via Wix. Vous pouvez également insérer des galeries photo, des vidéos, des slideshows, etc ... Les sites que vous concevez peuvent être à l'adresse url de votre choix en cas d'abonnement premium. Cette plateforme est si simple d'utilisation que vous pouvez concevoir un site en quelques jours à peine. Enfin et depuis peu, vous pouvez également avoir des adresses mail au nom de votre structure (via Google aps).

By far the best website builder I have tried.Easy to use with plenty of options to offer your clients! From a great app selection to drag and drop functionality. Easy enough to let clients edit themselves once you're done. No coding and inter grating social media is easy. Oh and seo is as easy as 1,2,3. Great library of graphics and background as well as awesome templates to get you started. Best part you get all that at a competitive price. You can even stay a free member!

I love WIX. It is a great platform for building websites. Very user friendly and easy to use. I have used Wix for over 8 years and love it. Wix has great customer service and forums to help you if you need. and if you can't find an answer they have Wix Professionals that have independant businesses, you can hire them to fix your website. Wix is a great company and great website building platform. Thanks wix for providing me with great tools and great platform for websites from shopping to personal. Wix has given me the opportunity to be one of these Professionals. I've helped over 100 people with thier websites over the years. Thank you Wix for the tools and the fun apps that make web design fun.

Wix is so versatile, and becoming even more so with every passing month--given the new app market. I started off as a regular user myself, helping my dad launch his website for his construction company. I think it's a perfect tool for everyone, tech-savvy or not... first-timer or professional. The builder has an incredible set of tools and templates for the first-timer, amateur user, or if you need something up in a snap. Ever since starting, I've persued studies in design for web development. So for the professional, such as myself, you can create endless designs offline using your professional tools (photoshop & illustrator) and easily upload them to the builder and expand upon with Wix tools. Its a great alternative to Dreamweaver and Muse when your clients actually want to go in and make changes themselves, or if they want something created in a faster turnaround time, or if they have smaller budgets. There are many great tools out there for web design, some more professional than others, and Wix is one that you should keep in mind because it's great and has so much more greatness coming.

I'd also like to add that their customer service has been so great. I usually use the forums and get a response within a few hours. Contacting them via phone has been a pleasure as well.
I'd say that for most small business goals, Wix is the path to take. It's a great kick-starter.

Wix makes the art of web design a canvas for creativity. You don't need a scientist to make a piece of art. If you are creative, you got it, no limits! Wix is even up to the trends in the industry. Loving the new interphase and mobile responsiveness is awesome! There is probably a thing or two we could use, like beaing able to change the background on each page, then it will be flawless. I'm not exagerating, this is what I always needed, to the extend that I am a Wix Pro now. I have also compared the prices on other interphases and even if they're less efficient, they are more expensive and non give you the freedom Wix gives. My clients are super happy about their websites and my business has been able to offer this kind of service without the extra money for programming. I love it, please dont stop looking for the trends and sharpening up the tool, I don't think we are going to stop using it.

I used wix for the first time yeasterday. 7 out of 10 times it didnt load. Had trouble migrating back to the edit screen after importing jpegs. I spent more time trying to load the application then I did learning how to use it. Lost at least an hours worth of work... I was going to move forward but once I read the reviews...Not so sure...The menu's are good. but the HTML load is so clunky...Totally frustrating.
