Associate MERN Stack Web Developer at Bikter Tech
One-click installation, no setup time, excellent support
I give the solution a nine out of ten. We don't use the solution for any other tech stack. For example, we have a Node.js application, we use Linode for now. But if we have WordPress websites, we use Bluehost or Namecheap. Our organization has ten to twelve developers using the solution. The solution is used occasionally in our organization. If you want to install a new website, or you have to make changes or explore files, not on a daily basis. We currently have no plans to increase usage but it all depends on our client's requirements. Comparatively, Bluehost is more expensive than Namecheap and in regards to speed, they are both hosted outside of my region and seem to be the same. I would recommend the solution because it's easy to use and has a one-click installation, and the technical support team is very good at solving your problems.

Has saved time during website building and helps maintain a professional look
The mobile view needs to be fixed when reviewing on the desktop to show what it actually displays on the phone. There were a couple of small bugs which I think they fixed. Sometimes when dragging and dropping things into place, they would snap into place, and then after saving and checking the live page, it would not quite match what was showing in the website builder. I would have to go back in and move it to the right and then snap it back for it to work. Sometimes doing exactly the same thing when building requires one or two attempts to get it to reflect what you want to see on the live page.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the one-click installation."
"I would recommend the solution because it's easy to use and has a one-click installation, and the technical support team is very good at solving your problems."
"I found everything okay in Wix, and it's easy to create a website."
"Basic features can be grasped in a couple of hours because it's CMS-based with all tools readily available."
"Wix has actually reduced my time in developing or delivering a website to the client, so I can have more clients in the pipeline."
"The biggest advantages are that it is inexpensive and very easy to use, which means I can spend less time building the website and more time working."
"The return on investment with Wix is excellent because hosting a website costs around 4,000 to 5,000 Indian Rupees, equivalent to $50 a year, I have access to all tools and functionalities, and I can generate as much sales as I want through Wix."
"I like the solution's responsiveness, usability, and user interface."
 

Cons

"The solution's servers are in the US and Europe, and I would like to have additional servers near my region, in the APJ region so my clients don't experience any latency issues."
"The solution is not very scalable. I would not suggest the solution for scaling Node.js-based applications."
"The Wix editor can sometimes be glitched or buggy and requires a significant amount of memory on my computer."
"When it comes to drag and drop, it sometimes creates problems when the size is not compatible."
"There are a few bugs where what it says it will show on the phone versus the laptop does not always match."
"Wix has drawbacks regarding website optimization and speed."
"Wix is quite slow. When I use Wix, it's a bit slower than Shopify."
"The solution’s scalability can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is a little more costly than other solutions but their technical support is better."
"Wix is an affordable solution."
