“That would be a design preview, not a live Wix update or e-commerce build. If you like the direction, I can review your existing Wix store before quoting any live implementation, checkout changes or migration work.”
“If your store is fairly small, improving the Wix site may be simpler; Shopify is worth considering if selling products and managing orders are becoming a bigger part of the business.”
“We’d first take a look at the current Wix setup and then suggest whether it makes more sense to improve what’s already there or move to a platform like Shopify/Squarespace depending on the needs.”
“Wix's constraints are mostly why it's easy in the first place, so "like Wix but without the limits" isn't really a category. Squarespace, WordPress and the Cloudflare Pages route all have their own version of the same tradeoff.”
“If you want something easy like Wix but without the limits, Webflow is worth a look. It gives you a visual builder but way more control over the final code.”
“We build custom sites on Next.js rather than Wix or Shopify themes, so for you it would be a rebuild rather than a refresh: a commissions gallery, a quote enquiry form, the print shop and a news page. The trade-off is you'd lose the drag-and-drop editor, so it depends how much you want to update things yourself.”
“I do not really do Wix Studio, Framer, Wordpress or Webflow. But I could help with pure html/css/js sites which not only would be lightweight and fast-loading but they could also be ready to rank well on Google as well as AI / LLMs.”
“happy to refresh your wix site or move you to shopify/squarespace — ecommerce for your prints/cards plus a blog/news page. what's your rough budget and timeline?”
“I am an illustrator and small business owner. have a website currently that I built in Wix. It’s functional and looks alright but is a little clunky and basic in places.”
“I’m looking to set up an online store using Wix and Moneris, I’m just wondering if anyone here has a Wix store and what the pros and cons are? How easy is it to work with, for someone who’s not a web developer?”
“I want to create a video slider on a Wix Studio website. I need the slider to bleed off the edges of the page. I was able to achieve the same effect with photography, but not with video.”
“Hire a professional designer, and get off Wix if possible is my advise. This is where the difference between a designer and an artist comes into play.”
“However, when I switch to the Russian translation, the text expands and breaks the layout. This really frustrates me because I want the Russian version to look just as clean as the primary language.”
“However, Wix's hosting prices have recently jumped significantly, and paying their updated rates for a basic single-page site no longer makes sense. She just uses the contact form basically.”
“so before choosing, check the platform can import your etsy listings (shopify and wix both have etsy import apps, squarespace is more manual), make a simple discount code for the new site, and put that code on a card in every etsy order for a couple of months. keep etsy running until the new site has real repeat orders, then phase it out.”
“Something like Wordpress or Wix still has a learning curve. You can prompt Claude or Chat GPT to help you code it, then you can prompt it to walk you through the steps of deploying it.”
“I’ve used wix as my portfolio website provider for years and the AI usage and price hikes finally got too frustrating to deal with. What sites are other artists using?”
“My question is whether I should attempt doing this from scratch or using a platform like Wordpress or Wix ( which I have no experience with ). I’m really excited and have the time to experiment, but would like advice from someone that has more experience than I.”
“I maintain client sites on Webflow, Squarespace and Wix and I hae cleaned up after enough translation add-ons to have one rule: before ypu look at price or language count, open a translated page and look at the URL.”
