“Why are you against Wix? You can do everything you are asking with Wix and nobody can tell or cares it's Wix. I had my first site made by a "pro" with Wix.”
“The templates help guide you with design-forward thinking, whereas Wix gives more freedom and that freedom is how first sites end up cluttered. Whatever you pick, write your text before you touch the builder.”
“If you just want to build a landing page drag-and-drop, you could just use an existing website builder like Wix or SquareSpace. No coding required, just drag-and-drop graphical building. Wix has a "free tier" with Wix ads on your page.”
“And if you specifically want to have more control over WordPress, Wix or Shopify, you'll want to learn the development side of those platforms, because each has its own way of doing things.”
“I’ve been making websites for my clients for maybe 2 years now on wp, wix, and recently shopify. The thing is i know how to build them on the surface but i want to have confidence in HOW im doing it.”
“Hi there, its not the creation part its all the backend stuff and also anything that gets flagged i.e broken links, H1s seo tags etc. It does some stuff with the wix connector but also uses Claude in chrome to do some changes.”
“If your just starting out buy a package on squarespace or wix or some other easy builder even wordpress and have chatgpt help with content and even a mock design then replicate in the builder.”
“I will tell them it will be cheaper to just start over on Wordpress or literally any other platform. Please for the love of god stop using wix for your websites.”
“Squarespace's templates tend to look cleaner out of the box for event/festival-type sites; Wix gives you more layout flexibility if you want custom sections per sponsor tier etc. Either way it's a few structured pages, not a technical build — a page builder is honestly the right tool here, not overkill.”
“Honestly, I'd use a website builder like WIX or something for a first website. Then, once your business takes off invest in a more professional website.”
“Yeah I second this with website builders like Shopify or Wix you can do it yourself. Just watch a few youtube videos on how to secure your domain and then link it to your chosen builder.”
“The Marketing for Wix advertises the website builder to be "easy." Too bad the whole website is an actual dump disguised as a website builder. From random things to being deleted, to it taking no joke a full minute to load a paragraph, I don't think anything has been more frustrating for me as an Engineering student.”
“Recommend you go through the mind numbing process of the automated help chat til you can get to a live person. Make sure when you get to that person, that you scroll through the response which should include a link to request a call back so you can actually talk to someone.”
“I created a premium Wix website and put my phone number on it and people began calling it asking for a Notary. I never told anyone about the website, so I imagine the SEO did a lot of the work for me.”
“This subreddit confuses me because I’ve been using wix for my site for about 9 or 10 years now and think it’s great, the occasional glitch is irritating but overall it’s so much easier than Wordpress or square space”
“Wix doesn't care about their clients. Their whole business model is to dupe people who don't know anything about websites into signing up. They dupe customers into thinking it's easy to use, one click website creation and all of that malarkey.”
“Has Wix responded to how Bad the Harmony Editor is? Genuinely curious how something so unfinished could be launched and I only realised after paying... its so upsetting”
“Wix has added so much stuff over years that sometimes it feels like the platform is trying to do everything at once. I wouldn’t mind fewer features if the ones already there felt more polished.”
“That notice is standard ICANN process, not a scam signal on its own. When a domain's registrar of record changes, the losing registrar has to email the owner and give a window to cancel, and if nobody cancels it completes on its own.”
“To be fair, this is more about people not understanding Wix's refund policy and not being organised with subscriptions/renewals. Wix has a 14-day refund policy but it only applies to new plans, not renewals.”
“I opted for go cardless and using api and webhooks for payments and completely moved away from the suppliers Wix had due to costs. Still about 50p for a transaction but better than what the others offered.”
“i used wix for ages because the editor is friendly for beginners, but it still felt a bit cluttered at times. switched to Wix when i wanted less distraction, and it handled the basics without all the extra stuff in my face.”
“Harmony and the Wix restaurant app allows you to do everything but actually add an item to the shopping cart - an incredible number of features, extensions and apps simply don’t work with Harmony”
“Wix is pretty easiest to use, I have been creating wix website since 5 years and later on my clients can always edit/change stuff on their own. Any layman can edit on wix”
