Wix Reviews
REVIEW
Similar to blogging platforms like WordPress, Wix allows you to create your website and have it hosted for free. If you want extra features like your own domain name, or access to Wix’s priority support team, there are five monthly plans that range from under $10 to just at $20 per month. You can get discounts on each by paying annually rather than monthly.
In the premium plans, your website will be completely ad-free, and you can integrate an online store, plus use Wix’s newsletter tool to create a mailing list. There are many ways to use HTML if you do know how, and Wix offers the ability to integrate Google Analytics so you can tailor your content to your customer’s needs and preferences.
If you are using the free platform, your website’s visitors will see advertisements, both on the side of your page, and at the bottom. Many users have found that these are far more prominent than other free website building platforms. A major drawback is that, while you can demo as many website templates as you want before publishing your site, when you do commit to a template, you’re stuck with it. There’s no easy way to change the look when it’s time for an update.

CONCLUSION
If you have a small business, or are a self-employed creative individual, and you don’t want to have to spend a lot of money or time creating a beautiful website, Wix is one of the best solutions out there. Particularly for those who don’t have previous coding skills, or who have never built a website before, Wix’s platform makes it easy to create a website that looks both professional and modern.
Wix is best for those who don’t need a huge, professional website with many layers and sub pages. The fact that they have grown so quickly, and are now serving over 77 million users, is a major bonus for users who prefer to rely on a tool that has already been tested, and is proven to deliver great results. If you want to give their premium plans a try, all of their plans come with a 14-day money back guarantee.
