Easy to use drag & drop editor but with frustrating limitations
What do you like best about the product?
It really is simple to build a website--even someone with no web experience can put something together using Wix's predesigned templates. The drag and drop editor it very convenient and you can see immediately how something is going to appear on your page. They provide a lot of great-looking templates and even images and videos .
What do you dislike about the product?
While it provides a nice starting point, you are fairly limited in your ability to design. Those with even basic experience using coding or HTML may find themselves frustrated because you can't just tweak things with a code. The most frustrating thing I've found is that once you choose a template, you are locked in; you can't switch without completely redesigning the site. That doesn't seem very user-friendly to me. Their mobile designer is also very limited, and for some reason the sites always look AWFUL on mobile until you do a tedious redesign using their mobile editor. You also are very limited with what you can do on the mobile editor. In my experience, it's very difficult to have a good-looking mobile site.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At my company, we need a website design that is easy enough that those without website experience can use it. We work with event teams across the country and our local city directors need to be able to make basic edits to their city pages. Wix has made it convenient because anyone can use it and our webmaster doesn't have to spend the time constantly updating things.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Play around with it before jumping in. I personally prefer to self-host through Wordpress, but Wix has been a great option for my company because it allows multiple users to edit pages without needing too much web design experience. Make sure you choose a template that you LOVE because once you pick it, you're locked in!
Super easy to use website design platform
What do you like best about the product?
Wix makes designing your own website, blog, ecommerce site, or portfolio SUPER easy. Everything is basically drag and drop, which makes the possibilities for design and layout limitless.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wix websites can often take a long time to load. Because the coding is so clunky and not optimized (due to the drag and drop features) websites can load slowly and unevenly. There are certainly ways to optimize this, and having a simple website with very little media (pictures, videos, etc). will make the site load much faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Why pay for a website designer or programmer to make a beautiful website when a few hours on Wix and you can have a professional website as good as anything a coder could have made?
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Wix is best used for simple, portfolio like websites with content spread over multiple pages.
Thinking website? Use only Wix!
What do you like best about the product?
It's the easiest website builder ever made. Much easy to create, manage, host & maintain enterprise/personal websites & blogs. With Wix, its possible to create websites within minutes. It's much scalable platform itself, with third party applications for analytics, email marketing, etc. If you are thinking of websites, just don't think twice before trying Wix.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found Wix loaded with pretty much every feature I was looking for. No dislikes yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've created plenty of campaign websites, landing page, etc using Wix. I use Wix for my personal blogs as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Website creation, management, hosting & maintenance was never so easy before Wix. 10/10 for this awesome tool.
With Wix, I Stopped Wondering and Started Working
What do you like best about the product?
The ease with which I can create something beautiful and me. I had so many people tell me that my website was ME and that was the biggest compliment. It's intuitive and if you're stuck, there's a lot of great help to get you back on track. I love the full page banners. I appreciate the formatting options available to further customize it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the layout of the website editor changes so drastically when I upgraded from free to pro. It took me a while to figure out where everything was. I dislike that I can't adjust the columns to make it the way I really want it. I dislike how different my site looks from desktop to mobile.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My name is actually out there! I have a beautiful site and I've already gotten work based off my site. I've realized that because wix makes it so easy, I didn't have to feel like my website was absolutely perfect and I would never want to change anything in order to publish it. I published my website and when I wanted to adjust something, it was no big deal. Easy. Effortless. Simple. I'm looking forward to when I can take full advantage of everything wix has to offer--custom email, an on-site shop, etc. In time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You know all those commercials you see of celebrities making gorgeous websites in the time it takes for the 30 second commercial to be over and they're all like "Done! It's that simple." Well, it's not exactly that simple, but it's close--and far closer than other website builders I've used in the past. Don't get discouraged if it takes longer than 30 seconds. Also, if you want a website that's truly you, truly unique, then delve into the depths of wix. They have hundreds of icons and add-ons and plug-ins you can use without creating a site that already exists. And they're so beautiful. Explore around if you can--you won't regret it!
Good for small businesses
What do you like best about the product?
Wix has been around for quite a while and grew rapidly by large word of mouth brand due to the product doing mostly what they say it will do.

It is really for just small projects and/or small companies
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Small businesses trying to get a web presence very quickly

Don't try to make it more than it is. But for small DIY web projects, it is almost perfect.

WIX is perfect for building your own web site.
What do you like best about the product?
WIX truly has EVERYTHING you need to design & customize your own web site! From stunning templates to content management ... WIX has it all.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really have absolutely no complaints using WIX.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to use, intuitive, cost effective web site design and hosting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try WIX before you give other template based products a try ... you'll find WIX to be the easiest to use and maintain. NO HTML SKILLS NEEDED.
Wix is fine for personal websites, but not recommended for professional websites.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Wix is a beginner--friendly, WYSIWYG web builder. It's literally drag and drop and they offer templates, so it's a very low-barrier entry for a novice who wants a personal website (i.e. a wedding website, baby shower website, etc.)
What do you dislike about the product?
Wix is not good for any type of business or professional website. While its templates are easy to use, the websites it generates are not responsive, meaning you have no way to control how your layout looks on different screen sizes. The result is that your elements, text, images, etc. tend to end up misaligned on screens that are larger or smaller than the screen it was designed on. Mobile and tablet screens are even worse. While Wix does offer a mobile version to customize your mobile site, its abilities are really limited, and this method of website development is outdated and will have varying results on different mobile screen resolutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I initially gave Wix a try when I was experimenting with different web development methods for client work. I quickly realized that it's not a professional tool, and is better for non-web designers and developers to make hobby and personal sites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend looking elsewhere. Even if you're a hobbyist or someone just looking to build a personal site, I'd look at Squarespace instead. If you're a professional web designer or developer, Wix does not align its product with current industry standards, and it wouldn't be an ethical solution for building professional client websites.
