Wix Review: A Flexible Website Builder

One of the cooler things about their website builder compared to competitors is that it allows you to seamlessly integrate animations with your website. While you obviously do not want to overdo this, the fact that it is an option makes Wix.com even more intriguing.

<strong>Here are some sample of client websites:</strong>

<h4>SEO Optimized</h4>

If you are a website owner that plans to focus on content, SEO optimization is probably extremely important to you. Wix does a great job of making it easy for users to optimize their content for search engines while giving you the opportunity to add keywords and meta data that is important for proper SEO. They also allow you to integrate with Google Analytics, making it easier for you to analyze and improve your SEO practices.
<h4>Reliability</h4>
Reliability is one area where Wix.com definitely excels. They have an "uptime, which is pretty remarkable considering they host over 70 million websites. While they are not transparent about the security and reliability measures that they take, they claim that this is a good thing since it is such a sensitive issue. At the end of the day, the fact that they have millions of satisfied users speaks for itself.
<h4>Customer Support</h4>

Wix.com does everything in their power to prevent the need for you to contact their customer support team by providing users with what is probably the biggest resource center in the industry. They provide you with access to thousands of guides, tutorials, and how-tos about using their services and the fact that there are so many users on Wix means that there are also several independent blogs dedicated to helping their users.

For those seeking one-on-one support, however, there are options for users that subscribed to their premium plan. The most popular support option is their scheduled call option, where you set up a time to have one of their customer support agents get in touch with you to talk about whatever issues you are encountering.
<h3>Cons</h3>
While they are one of the few website hosts that offer a ‘freemium’ plan, it will not suffice as a reliable option for most website owners. The prices for their premium plans are higher than most of their competitors, although it can be said that they make up for this with the reliability, ease-of-use, and customizable options that they provide.

Another small disadvantage of choosing Wix.com is that you are not able to change your template once it is selected. Once you choose your initial template from their over 500 professionally designed options, you are stuck with it for the remainder of your plan. You can, however, change some of the design and layout options within the template.

For experienced website owners, you may be disappointed by the fact that Wix.com does not allow you to change the HTML or CSS of your website. This is generally only going to be an issue for web designers that are experienced with coding and other technical aspects of their website.
<h3>Pricing Plans</h3>
While it has already been mentioned that Wix.com offers a freemium plan that will allow users to set up an extremely basic website, this review is focused more on the premium plans that they offer. They offer five different plans, with each providing different perks, benefits, and features to users.
