“I'm not saying Squarespace is worse than Wordpress, Webflow, Framer, Wix. I just wish that by now we could just design beautiful sites without having to code, or do workarounds for different screen sizes.”
“This seems to be par for the course with WIX. I have tried everything, but I am stuck paying for a 3 year subscription that I don't need and cant use due to some hidden clause in their TOS saying they can renew a subscription on an expired credit card at the premium rate aside from the fact that I have never used any of their premium products.”
“I work for a small business that has a Wix website with multiple pages, including an Events tab where we add all the events we host, have people RSVP, etc.”
“My Wix account was permanently suspended under Section 2.3 of the Terms of Use, and customer care closed my ticket with an automated template stating the decision cannot be reversed.”
“Since you are worried about the prices, as I would be, I would suggest you start with a simple wix website, then after you have scaled successfully you can shift to shopify”
“Stupidly, I transferred my domain from Squarespace over to Wix. Now my site is down and could be up to 8 days. Is there anyway to stop this, and get my Domain back to Sqaurespace?”
“After that took Wix 2 business days to suspend my account after the chargeback! Great, already migrated the domain and content to another provider before renewal deadline. Only on Day 23 of the Wix 45 days and I am done with Wix.”
“Wix is simpler as a whole. I have a ton of clients who’ve hired me to build Squarespace websites because they need it all set up for them properly; it’s difficult to know the ins and outs of the platform and also the caveats.”
“Been sitting on a couple domains and trying to decide if I should keep everything on Namecheap or just stick with Wix as registrar for convenience, kinda nervous about long term pricing and support.”
“I left WIX because of their terrible business practices. They autorenewed my subscription early without my consent, I badgered them for a refund and it's in the TOS that they can take 45 days to return it.”
“Called Wix and they don't see any issues either, but they said it was an issue with Wix. They escalated it to some technical team that "only works on these issues offline" so that sounds like it will never be resolved.”
“hello i have a website on wix where i sell clothing. i have always been able to tag the products on instagram posts so it links directly to the website. but the last couple of months it hasnt updated with the new products on instagram.”
“You should not be updating any Wix App that frequently. I’d question what you have installed on your site and if it’s even necessary. Only downside of you leaving a platform, especially Wix, is your prob gonna make the needle move on whatever SEO you got going.”
“I'd suggest Wix Studio since it has a "content only" mode that will allow for simple edits w/out touching any design elements... This is probably my favorite feature when handing off to clients.”
“I’ve been using Wix for a while, but it’s starting to feel a bit heavy and slow for what I actually need. Even small edits feel more complicated than they should, and the pricing also feels a bit high for basic use.”
“Personally, I think Wix to Squarespace is a bit of a sideways move. Squarespace might feel cleaner initially, but you’re still moving from one proprietary website builder to another with similar limitations and ongoing costs.”
“I generate almost 1mil$ with it and considering how much it would cost for me to replicate it in WordPress or hiring a web designer, WIX is pretty cost effective and awesome to use.”
“Every time I log in to make a small change, something's asking to be updated, reconfigured, or re approved first. It's turned into that feeling of owning a house where you're never quite done with repairs you fix one thing and start bracing for the next.”
“I was complaining that I am spending over $400 to maintain my website for my nonprofit on Wix. And he told me to cancel it and he will build me a new website.”
