What is Wix?
Wix is an online website builder that lets you create a website or webshop yourself without any coding knowledge. You drag elements into place in a ready-made editor. Wix is popular with starters and small businesses that want to get online quickly and cheaply.
Is Wix free?
Wix has a free version, but with limitations: you get Wix ads on your site, no custom domain name and limited features. For a professional look you need a paid plan. That costs a fixed amount per month and rises as you need more, such as a webshop or extra storage.
What can you do with Wix?
With Wix you build a website, blog or webshop, connect a custom domain and add features via the App Market. For a simple site that works fine. If you want real custom work, fast loading times and full control over your SEO, you eventually run into the limits of the platform.
Wix or a professionally built website?
Wix is attractive to start with, but many businesses outgrow it: findability, speed and distinctiveness fall behind. If you want a site that grows with you and ranks in Google, having a website created by a web design agency is often the better investment.
