What is Wix?

Wix is a website builder used to grown an online presence. The platform allows users to build their website from scratch, choose from designer-made templates, or use an AI website builder to add sections, images, and text.

Tyler Newman

Marketing Director in Marketing at MGT Films (11-50 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used to use Wix to develop smaller sites for clients who needed a site for their small businesses. Wix was mainly used as a drag-and-drop website editor. The client wanted to use Wix specifically, so I ended up editing the site there, but have since switched to Squarespace for various reasons.

Pros

Customizable website designs.
Lots of templates.
SEO

Cons

Could be easier to use.
Could work with more influencers.
Could have more easily polished modules out of the box.

Return on Investment

Customizable for websites.
Good for SEO.
Good for e-commerce.

Rae Carson

Communications Strategist in Marketing at Institute for Cultural Communicators (11-50 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We built and managed a website via Wix, extensively using their blog features and email marketing. The website builder is fairly manageable for people looking for a drag-and-drop experience, offering more detailed customization if desired. The blog offers some reporting -- though not all the analytics we'd like -- and there's some automation available with the email marketing systems.

Pros

Customization
Blog Analytics
Simple Websites

Cons

Integrations
Forms and Pop-Ups
Support

Return on Investment

Established and grew our mailing list
Increased our organization's SEO by a ton
Provided enough visibility that we're sought out by podcasts, news sources, and competitors

We primarily use Wix to launch quick and easy marketing websites where the soul purpose is to gain SEO credibility with high quality responsive design. Since Wix’s user interface is very plug and play, it’s easy for our design team to create websites without having to code much at all. Wix also provides security and stability we’d expect from a hosting server with very little overhead cost.

Limited Access to Apply Custom Code
The WYSWYG Editor Has Occasional Quirks
