Synopsis of User Ratings and Reviews
Based on an aggregate of Wix reviews taken from the sources above, the following pros & cons have been curated by a SelectHub Market Analyst.
Pros
Cons
Researcher's Summary:
Wix offers intuitive drag-and-drop editors and a rich library of designer templates. Users have identified the drag-and-drop editor and intuitive UI as Wix’s standout features. It aids website design without complicated coding and allows users to maintain analytics and manage content with a few clicks from the dashboard.
However, reviews mention that users can’t access the source code, and website designers can only use predefined customizations where personalization isn’t possible.
Also, critical features like payment processing, WordPress plugins, personal email domain and others come as paid add-ons or plugins. It can be a less economical option for businesses with large inventories, comprehensive websites and rapid scaling plans. However, the templates are well-crafted and ideal for new businesses to design unique landing pages and boost their digital presence at a comparatively low cost.
