“I was hoping to just switch over the nameservers but I can't do that with wix. Since I can't, I am going to switch from wix to porkbun but I am worried about a few things, so how should I do them?”
“Squarespace/Wix can be fine for simple DIY. WordPress/Webflow give more flexibility, but only if someone will keep updates, forms, backups, and content changes handled.3.”
“Was going to use wix. This is a simple straightforward bookkeeping business to advertise and accept payments which I think i would connect to PayPal as my customers love using that for some reason.”
“One catch on the Wix side. Connect the domain with the POINTING method, not by moving to the Wix nameservers. Pointing is just A records plus the www CNAME, and everything else in the zone (members, MX, SPF, verification TXT) stays exactly where it is.”
“> Longer term, once the root domain moves to Wix, would you×leave authoritative DNS with Crossbar and have them point the root/www records to Wix, or would it be better to move the main DNS zone somewhere we control and delegate only portal.examplehockeyclub.org to Crossbar?”
“I upgraded from a free account to a premium Wix account and had great difficulty navigating the service. I tried to cancel within the cancellation period, but couldn't. I complained to Wix, but they refused to refund me the $420.”
“I’ve hear about a new thing called wix vibe. I hear it’s possible to convert figma designs into wix using this vibe. Haven’t tried myself but if it’s good maybe you can explore converting your Claude designs into figma, naming everything properly then using figma to vibe”
“Sono passata a Flazio da Wix e mi trovo più che bene, il sito non ha nulla da invidiare a quello che avevo su wix e anzi è più fluido. Aspetto solo che mi lasciate personalizzare il banner dei cookies, poi non avrò altre lamentele!”
“Yep, they are super bullies and thieves. They sent an email to me 20 days before my renewal date and said they were charging me 10 days early and for an extra year that I never authorized.”
“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.”
