👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Don't sleep on this suite of products

Pros:

Covers your whole business: CRM, Marketing, billing - everything. And so well designed... yes!

Cons:

They release updates every couple of weeks. Not so much of a con, just increases the learning curve.

As far as I know Wix is an Israel-based company, right? I have personally never used any of Wix's products, but we might be looking into them. Before that we would like to know what is your company's position on the Palestine - Israel conflict? It is an important matter for us deciding who we do business with. Thanks

The SEO tools and Google Analytics are still not optimal in the free Wix version. So it's still a hard pass. Otherwise, I'm curious to see if it will be a true Shopify killer!

Well, I do like their design and SEO guide. Also, it's very easy to wark with their app but if you want to use all the possibilities and options of this app, you would have to pay monthly and the price isn't cheap. It doesn't have possibilities of WordPress but in some reason Wix's price is higher (for my needs). In this case, you could try the Mobirise builder, at least it's free and it has all the same options.

But if Your language not on a list, then you in trouble. Half Wix, You can translate by hand, some parts - no. Etc. invoices (automated) for customers You can't translate. So it is a big problem for us. Were switched off lots of automated functions cos laking translation options.

Pros:

I like how it works, but...

Cons:

If You working with English speakers, or one of the languages from Wix shortlist - no problem at all. But..
