A good solution if you need a website in one day.
Wix is now showing its age and lack of development investment in things like page load speed. Whilst it performs ok (but behind other more modern stacks like webflow and good old wordpress event) on desktop, its score of 33 out of 100 for Google's page speed ranking puts it in the 'don't bother' category if you're thinking mobile first.
It does have some value to it, there are lots of plugins (they mostly cost though) and lots of out of the box features that are useful.
On balance though, the page speed for mobile is a dealbreaker, here are some more specific deal breakers for us in our use case.
- Doesn't play well with custom web apps, at all in fact, as in didn't work for us, we're using wordpress or vue now
- Wix doesn't allow you to write custom javascript (you can use an iframe) they have their own Velo ecosystem which is closed.
- The editor is substandard by a long way, editing static pages is painfully slow with significant input lag and the browser tab hosting the editor frequently exhibiting memory use of 2GB for pages that don't have video or much animation, or really much of anything.
- Their forum app is old and outdated
- Their designs, available fonts are un-inspiring
Always showing up with new features and products
With a lot of great tooling already implemented
Minimum features at affordable price , not scalable as webflow and other builders
I've watched Wix evolve over the years, and it's impressive how much it's improved. It's now a powerhouse tool suitable for any skill level. From beginners to pros, everyone's covered! 👍

Wix ha evolucionado a lo largo de los años, y es impresionante ver cuánto ha mejorado. Ahora es una gran herramienta para profesionales de cualquier nivel de habilidad! 👍
I've been using Wix for about 3 years now and my feelings about it are mostly mixed. It has a lot of features and issues that I hate, but it's good enough for a simple blog and its simplicity makes it very useful. I hope they get a little better with SEO, because right now it's a mess.
I have been using it for 5 years, made multiple websites.
My current company website is made in wix aswell. Its easy to use and best ui experience
Recently built a website for my mother's photography business. The features were endless to help her run a business and not just a hobby.
good organization but too much content, can get confusing for the user
