Much Better Platforms Out There
What do you like best about the product?
It's super simple, literally a child could create a makeshift website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Everything. There is no ability to change the actual code, different elements on the page would shift and move out of place or just not function correctly.
With not being able to code you only have access to basic SEO that isn't going to help you rank on Google if that's your goal.
A lot of elements have very few choices, so you're stuck with what they have. The free elements that you're able to use typically have some copyright, branded logo on the bottom unless you purchase an account and remove the logo.

Wix allows you to create dynamic websites easily
What do you like best about the product?
I can create a website for a client in a day. It has a fairly intuitive interface with drag and drop functionality. I love the templates! And I'm so glad they finally support parallax scrolling and video backgrounds.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not easy to include custom code. It doesn't always play nice with the prebuilt templates. Also, the analytics aren't as robust, but it does have a lot of app integrations to mediate that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a designer, it's allowed me to easily build responsive websites for my clients. The pre-built SEO optimization has helped me increase clients SERP rankings for niche markets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't have a lot of experience coding, this is the platform to use. But don't expect a high level of support.
Very Easy to use Platform for Basic Sites
What do you like best about the product?
Plug in integrations, easy drag and drop editing. Does produce beautiful sites easily from a template that you can quite readily edit and customize. Lots of standard add in items readily available. Very reasonable cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are at all savvy, you will outstrip it's capabilities quickly. Limited customization of certain add-on items can be frustrating. Limited capability to integrate any level of sophisticated tracking code (for example, the bookings module cannot run the google adwords conversion script)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Small business website with online scheduling. Much easier to use than the prior all in one product I was ussing,.

Perfect website for a small publisher
What do you like best about the product?
My website looks professional but took me almost no time to make. It has everything I need and is cheap to connect a domain.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few things that Wordpress allows you to do that are either harder or less functional on Wix, but they're not things I need to be able to do (like logins)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need for a business website without taking a ton of time to make it (or paying someone money I don't have)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a few minutes to get used to the system, then it'll be a breeze.
Made portfolio website on Wix
What do you like best about the product?
Wix is very easy to use for entering content. It's easy to whip up blog posts, or create a resume/portfolio. The UI is easy to use, and it's very simple to use your own domain.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to complete some specific actions on Wix, like an overlay portfolio where you can scroll through images, and then exit and return to the existing page. I also found it difficult to display PDFs in a gallery format. Also, their pricing is subscription-based, so if you intend on using your site long-term, it may be more financially feasible to hire a developer/team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wix helped me create a personal portfolio website and market my personal brand. It allows you to attribute a theme that resonates with you personally, so you can express yourself to the fullest extent.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using a theme, and going through Wix tutorials so you get the most out of your subscription/experience.
Actual Ease of Design without the Gimmicks
What do you like best about the product?
Unlike Wordpress, where nothing is particularly visually stunning and building a good website requires some substantial design and programming skills (which thus begs the question why use the site at all), Wix actually provides the drag-and-drop ease of use to build a webpage from template or scratch. Even better, unlike it's more direct rival, Squarespace, it doesn't give you 14 days and then require you to pay. You always have the option of maintaining a free website (albeit without a proper domain name but that depends on what your goals are for the site itself).
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing structure could be clearer, I was, for example, not really clear on the fact that I have to pay a monthly fee to have a level where I can have a domain I purchase, but it doesn't include the domain itself, that has to be purchased separately. I would much rather have the entire cost summarized and collected in a single process. As it is currently set up, I have to enter my card information and purchase the monthly plan and the domain separately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By allowing me to create a website easily, it eliminates the need to either pay someone to do it for me, or to restrict me to a painfully basic website which wouldn't generate any traffic. It provides the interface to manage a blog or many other features within the website and even lets me manage it on the go with a mobile app. It's allowed me to expand my journalistic presence outside of social media.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking to create an attractive website that doesn't require bespoke programming, Wix is the best option. Some of the templates aren't quite as stunning as Squarespace but functionality is more intuitive and the options are far greater. It gives your site the chance to standout as it's own product. The catch 22 of a Squarespace site is that everyone recognizes it immediately as a Squarespace powered website and that diminishes your brand as you try to develop it.
Great for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
Wix is really easy to set up if you aren't familiar with creating websites.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited in the ways you can customize your site.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wix is great for start up companies who are building their own web presence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is super user friendly, more so than other website builders.
