Wix

I like using Wix because it's easy to navigate and provides the creative tools I need to create a website that I'm happy with.

I like Wix, but I think you need an established client base before launching the platform. Publishing the site costs money, and if you don't keep it up to date and track your progress, it may not be as lucrative as you thought it would be.

What I love the most about Wix is that is a very user-friendly website builder with a simple drag-and-drop interface, allowing even beginners like me to construct and customize websites without any whatsoever coding skills. The platform provides an enormous library of professionally created templates from a variety of industries, allowing users to find a good beginning point for their websites. There is a wide range of apps and connectors to improve website functionality, including SEO tools, social media widgets, and e-commerce options.

In my point of view Wix could also improve some points. What I found the most annoying was that once a template is selected, we cannot convert to a different one without rebuilding the whole site. While Wix has a free plan, many of its more advanced features, such as e-commerce and custom domain names, are only available on paid plans, which might be costly for customers with limited budgets. Wix's SEO capabilities can also be improved.

It was straightforward, and an easy way to build your own website. Wix even gives you suggestions to get started, the fee includes your hosting (with them). I know it's very popular and aimed at a market of self employed / small business users who have no technical skills in web development.

Probably everything that makes it ideal for its users. I currently host with Dreamhost and I run 5 websites using Optimize Press. I found this too basic for me and the managing of sites becomes pricey. I need more control and enjoy building from scratch.

I love the Wix interface, and in particular the Wix Studio. It gives so much customization for a website with very little UX design knowledge required, and it gives you way more freedom with your site than platforms like Squarespace.

They are really quite terrible with SEO. It is near impossible to get sites to rank, and there is a lot of unnecessary HTML that is added to your site that you can't edit or remove, which in turn leads to quite poor loading speeds and lower than average SEO scores. Especially considering that there is no recipe schema plugin, like you get with Wordpress, I have to write my own less effective recipe schema to try and help my recipes rank.

A simplified manager which awards you all out inventive control and the capacity to plan a site regardless of your expertise level. 900+ expertly planned layouts for a different scope of enterprises and site needs, including on the web stores and web journals.

Wix offers an immense variety of highlights and instruments to help you get and become on the web, yet it tends to be a ton to truly understand, particularly in the event that you're a fledgling to site building. Limitless extra room is just accessible on Wix's most costly arrangement.
