CONS of Wix
- Each email account costs $6/mo (through Google G Suite).
- No live chat, but 24/7 phone support and via tickets.
PROS of Wix
- Most popular website builder on the market, and well-established, hosting more than 100 million users worldwide. There’s a reason so many people use it.
- Cheap option for eCommerce stores (plans starting $20/mo). This includes everything from simple products to even bookings and registration for events.
- Wix has one of the biggest libraries of site templates, boasting over 500 “designer-made” options. They are good for different industries/categories.
- Very simple and easy to use. The customization options are almost endless. And you can tweak your site in a matter of seconds with their easy to navigate drag and drop features.
- You can build just about any site imaginable with Wix software. These include typical eCommerce features that support multiple different payment methods, but it also includes a customizable music player, video uploads to the media gallery, events with invitations and bookings, even online ordering for restaurants.
- We submitted a support ticket with a few questions for their customer service department and received this thorough reply about 12 hours later. Pretty good overall.
- Our Wix test site has seen decent uptime over the last six months of 99.98% (and solid speed at ~581ms).
- Wix also offers long-term discounts. The longer you prepay, the more you win. We opted for the annual plan and got a free domain in the process, paying just $132.00 for both, whois privacy protection was extra though, but that’s common. You can also purchase two or even three years plans to save as much as $216.
