Wix Classic Editor
Wix has become pretty well known over the last few years, in part due to budget-busting marketing campaigns starring stars like Heidi Klum, Jason Statham and Gal Gadot, better known as Wonder Woman. But let's start with the basics:
The Wix website builder is a simplified way to create a website. It runs in your web browser (no need to install any software) and already provides its own web hosting. You sign up, select a template design, and start creating. It doesn’t require any advanced technical skills (forget HTML!).
Today, Wix is the biggest player in the website building landscape and hosts a whopping 110 million websites.

Last thoughts about this website builder
Final thoughts
I would recommend it without reservations for smaller websites (not more than 30 pages) that have to look flawless. Why not also for larger projects, you ask? Unfortunately the navigation menu doesn’t really accommodate complex site structures as there is only one sub-level. Weebly usually works better for big websites.
Wix has the widest selection of prebuilt designs for any kind of industry. As it’s not possible to switch to a new theme after your initial choice, it’s more difficult to revamp your site’s design (you’ll have to redesign it manually or start from scratch). On the positive side, this limitation facilitates Wix’s greatest strength: unmatched flexibility within your chosen theme.
And even if sometime down the road you would like to get into the ecommerce game you can easily add a shopping cart at relatively little cost. Read our Wix Ecommerce review to learn more.
What Wix has created here is certainly impressive in many ways with a development speed that is almost breathtaking. Just make sure you try out the free plan before switching to a paid plan to find out if it’s the right choice for you.
