James Dunne-Bennett - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Delivery Manager at Siemens Industry
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

"Wix has actually reduced my time in developing or delivering a website to the client, so I can have more clients in the pipeline."
"I like the solution's responsiveness, usability, and user interface."

"Basic features can be grasped in a couple of hours because it's CMS-based with all tools readily available."
"I found everything okay in Wix, and it's easy to create a website."
"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."

Cons

"There are a few bugs where what it says it will show on the phone versus the laptop does not always match."

"When it comes to drag and drop, it sometimes creates problems when the size is not compatible."
"The solution’s scalability can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Wix is an affordable solution."
"The pricing is very reasonable because WordPress is an open-source platform."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free. The domain and pushing data costs money."

"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free, although the domain will cost money."
"Regarding pricing, we have the flexibility to utilize certain themes and plugins across multiple websites for a single one-time cost. However, there are instances where themes come with only one activation key, limiting their use to a single website. Certain plugins and themes come with a significant cost, with the least expensive theme priced at around $120. Additionally, plugins typically range from $80 to $90 per year for a subscription. Consequently, it can be considered somewhat costly in this regard. Conversely, when it comes to WordPress, there is no expenditure involved."
"WordPress can be pricey, ranging from $0 to thousands per month."
"WordPress is an open-source product, meaning it is available for free."
