Great for getting websites up and running without a developer
What do you like best about the product?
Pretty intuitive interface, relatively feature rich, relatively easy to make a decent looking website, pretty good amount of stock photos users can use for free and even more / better ones available for a nominal fee. Free to build your website and if you want to use the free website you built, it's easy to convert it to a paid website. Best of all, they have lots of templates to peruse and if you can find a template that closely matches what you would like for your site, then building your website is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the Wix ADI (artificial design intelligence) feature. When you first create a site, you can choose to use the Wix ADI or the Wix Editor. I found the ADI to cause everything to move very slowly and it didn't help me that much and it prevented me from using a lot of the features available in the Wix editor. I'm not a huge fan of their online help search engine. Sometimes (far too often for my taste) I will want to incorporate a simply feature but I cannot find the instructions using the help search engine. They do offer email help which is good, but when I need help, I want answers right away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create inexpensive websites myself without having to get a designer / developer involved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is unlikely an average user of Wix will be able to create a stunning website. However, using the templates offered will get you much further much more quickly and much less expensively than most options.

Wix has what you need
What do you like best about the product?
Wix is so simple to use. It has so many capibilities for easily creating a website. It is intuitive and user friendly. There are so many apps you can use that are free that makes your website look professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
Changing the mobile view of the website is not as easy, and I think that this needs to be a lot easier as mobile viewership is higher than desktop these days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Professionalism, getting information to clients, sign ups, ecommerce, donaions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think of how many people are going to be using and editing your Wix website. Consider costs, what you need a website for and make that you run a trial with Wix so that you can make a more informed decision. Also consider that the internet is forever changing, so if the Wix platform dies (I don't think it will) you won't have a website.
Great for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
It is extremely easy to navigate for beginners. If you want something simple then this is the software you should use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It looks simple. You wouldn't really be able to use this for a big corporation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem of having a website for most mom-and-pop or independent businesses that can't afford a fancy website .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use this product only if you don't need anything too advanced.
Love Wix! Amazing look and super easy to use with my blog.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way it gives different but remade options for lay out and it's so easy to change and update for a new look
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when on WIX page my computer gets really slow
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps me market myself and my business in a beautiful way.
Happy with Wix
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease and functionality of Wix. I work with a lot of clients who want a simple, no fuss website and Wix is the best option out there. They have a lot of great templates that can be easily customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that the pages don't automatically adjust when you take away an element or make a change to an element. For instance, I had designed a somewhat lengthy homepage and needed to give more space for a strip that was towards the top of the page. I have to move everything down that was below it and then make the edit that I wanted, then move everything below it to where I wanted. The Wordpress platform allows you to make adjustments to single rows and adjusts the page accordingly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to offer a product that doesn't require regular updating like Wordpress.
Great platform for web design
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to design and create websites without having to worry about that silly coding. As a graphic designer I am able to focus more on the look and style for the client other than having to worry how it all works under the hood (however I do have some experience a little so that does come in handy)
What do you dislike about the product?
There are many bugs or little things that dont work with wix sadly, sometimes the blog doesnt load so you have to exit then go back in. Sometimes the images do not load so you have to exit and go back in. Sometimes the website doesnt publish so you have to leave it for a couple hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating really nice and simple websites. Is it perfect? No its not, but allows a novice to create a simple website and someone like me whos used the website for a while to really push the limits on the design and making sure everything works correctly, and while there are things that don't work as well someone like me with experience can try to avoid those elements or change them in a way so they work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are other similar websites like wix that will allow you to mainly design, but wix is so simple to impliment and use I really cant recommend it enough. Its perfect for starting an online shop but you must have a strong understanding of SEO as wix sadly doesnt give you access to its raw code, so while you can put key words in and change things around like you would on a normal website design platform, other benifits such as a blog, a strong understanding of social media and engaging with your customers/clients is ideal (but then again that advice is for any website being created, regardless of the platform)
I always recommend Wix to my beginner dev friends
What do you like best about the product?
I love the template system, it is extremely easy to use, its very cheap, adding a domain is super quick and I do not need to be concerned about the hosting management, I used Wix for small clients in the past, teaching the Wix system to others is easy and even my mother has used it for her personal piano classes website.
What do you dislike about the product?
I will like to see more variety of templates, because the current templates are good but it will be nice to have more, also will be nice to have modules like: (pictures gallery, chat system, payments).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wix solved one big problem I had, I was asking myself "how can create a website quickly and make it auto-managed at the same time?" First I though wordpress but wordpress is too complex for clients with no expertice on software dev, thats why I stay Wix.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
First, you have to make sure to read the instructions on your language, Wix have a lang selector which is great. There are a lot of tutorials online to learn Wix, and even the Wix docs can help you to get started.
Elegant simplicity in Web Design
What do you like best about the product?
Wix is the simplest web platform I have yet used (out of a dozen or so). Their elegant software makes any website read smoothly and operate perfectly. Not only is web communication flawless, but web traffic is easy to read on the coding side. Whether a photographer, studio artist or business owner this platform is wonderful.
What do you dislike about the product?
When using WIx I have not yet found something I disliked. If I didn't like the drag and drop portion of my site I had the ability to insert my own coding to customized perfection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Wix I am easily able to update my website so that media doesn't grow stale and I''ve enjoyed better visibility this way. I've also enjoyed the ease of connection with social media to reach the broadest possible audience.
User-friendly website creator
What do you like best about the product?
Wix is very user-friendly and simple! It is very easy to maintain and manage as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit basic. I wouldn't recommend implementing too complex of content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brand awareness since it is pretty basic of a website builder, this is probably what you can do best here (nothing too complex).
