Is Wix a Good Option for Making Your Website?

If you've searched for how to make a website for your business, Wix has probably come up as one of the first options. But... is it really the best tool for your project?

In this article, we explain what Wix is, its pros and cons, and whether it's a good idea for freelancers or small companies that want a website that generates clients.

What is Wix?

Wix is an online platform that allows you to create websites through a visual editor, without needing to know how to program. It offers a free version (with limitations) and various paid options with more functionalities.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Wix

Aspect	Advantage	Disadvantage
Ease of use	Very intuitive drag and drop editor	Can be limited if you want to make more advanced changes
Designs	Many modern templates	Some templates aren't very flexible
Cost	Has a free version	Useful options for businesses require subscription
SEO	Basic optimization functions	Not as powerful as WordPress or custom-made websites
Advertising	—	Free version includes Wix ads
Custom domains	—	Only available in paid plans
Content ownership	—	You're limited to what Wix allows, and you don't control hosting

When Can Wix Be Useful?

Wix can be a good option if:

• You want to test a basic website for a temporary project.
• You don't have a budget and want to start exploring the web world.
• You need a very simple website, without specific functionalities.

But if You Have a Business... Wix May Fall Short

For a business that wants to grow online, Wix often falls short:

• It has technical limitations that make it difficult to position on Google.

• It may cost you more time and money adding basic functionalities like forms, stores or reservation systems.
