Wix Review

For Freelancers and Small Businesses Owners

Personally I feel that this group of users would have the highest use for what Wix has to offer. Freelancers can quickly build and customize websites for clients and add on almost any features quickly. Small business owners can join the digital revolution without needing to spend money on outsourcing web design. It’s the perfect fit.

For Online Shops

Wix has special eCommerce plans that start from $17 per month. That’s cheap in the world of online store hosting and you get a ton of benefits that come along with that. Access the app marketplace is invaluable to quickly tack on features like shopping cards and payment systems. Wix also doesn’t charge any commissions for online stores.

Key online store features offered by Wix:

• Store Manager – Inventory tracking and management
• Worldwide Shipping & Tax – Customized tax and shipping rules for worldwide destination
• Coupons – Offer in-store discounts and other special deals
• ShoutOut – Simple email marketing
• Customer Relationships Manager (CRM) – Engage clients, keep track of contact, collect client reviews, organize invoices, etc.
• Digital Store – Sell ebooks, music, and software easily
• Setup shop and sell on Facebook and Etsy

For Agencies and Developers

Originally, Wix was mainly for inexperienced users or those who wanted to quickly build simple sites. Recently Wix introduced a special development environment it calls Corvid. This visual developer tool lets you build your own functionality for Wix sites – either your own or to offer as APIs to others.

Onboarding

The Wix system is so easy and streamlined that it’s borderline silly. All you need to do is sign up for an account and Wix will hold your hand and guide you through the process of setting up your first website. Seriously, it’s as simple as that.

For the more experienced user, you can skip that and explore the environment to your heart’s pleasure for free. You can even try to publish a simple site using a Wix domain to see how things work and if you’re happy, then consider upgrading to a paid plan.
