Fraudulent renewal scams - and way harder to use than Webflow or Tilda
What do you like best about the product?
It's become a fully-integrated marketing platform (lite version)... so if you need bare minimum CRM, email marketing, shopping cart, etc. with a no-code website builder it's not a bad place to start and their template library is pretty good. But that is also why it's not a great platform if you think your business will grow - none of the tools are as robust as something else - sort of a jack-of-all-trades platform that's not great at any of it but can be an okay entry point.
Their live chat is also pretty responsive and helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
All of their tech is okay but not great. For example: their email marketing is okay but not as good as Mailchimp/competitors that specialize in email, their CRM is better than nothing, but not as good as Pipedrive/NutshellCRM or other SMB-targeted CRMs (not even talking about Hubspot which I consider more for larger orgs). And their web builder is good, with good templates and decent capabilities, but not as intuitive/easy to use as Webflow, Squarespace or Tilda - and doesn't have near the SEO capabilities or tech customization native in Webflow or Tilda.
In short, you can get okay ecommerce, but would be better off with Shopify or BigCommerce. You can get okay email marketing and CRM but would be better off getting specialized apps and then dropping their form fields into your site. You can build a decent website with Wix, but for advanced and custom design/integrations/actions as you grow your business - and better SEO tools - you'd be better off with Webflow or Tilda.
Additionally, in my opinion, they've gotten more scammy over time as their tech has been surpassed by competitors. I used to build client sites in Wix all the time (between 2016 - 2019 I built 5 client sites plus my own there)... but they've instituted hidden upcharges, confusing subscription plans and a super shady renewal practice where they bill you 14 days before your renewal ends and then tell you it can't be refunded even if you cancel before your newly-purhcased-but-not-wanted renewal starts. I don't like doing business with companies I feel like are trying to screw me so I'd have stopped using them for that reason alone.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A no-code website builder that can get a small business website built and launched quickly. It is simple enough that usually a non-technical person at a client company can then update/manage their site themselves without needing agency/tech support for day-to-day updates.
Wix - a simple, no-code solution to design and host your own website.
What do you like best about the product?
I needed to get a website online ASAP - with zero experience! After a lot of research, I came across Wix (with the help of Ai of course). From registering to publishing my website took less than 6 hours, that's how simple it is to use. I now log into the console daily, tweaking my website but also monitoring the traffic to the website. Even with the basic plan I'm using, the analytics are pretty impressive. Designing the website pages, adding photos, and links to social media was a breeze. They also have a host of apps that integrate easily with Wix. I've used 2 already. If you need help, customer support is just a click away, with a live chat option as well. I never thought launching my very own website would be so easy. I'm well and truly impressed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial pricing guide is a little misleading, especially if you are a total newbie. The monthly subscription is pretty reasonable. Only after you've paid for the subscription, they inform you that you need to pay an annual domain registration fee which is like 3x the subscription price (it is for 12 months tough).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The traditional route of using a web designer, finding a provider to host your site and launching it is something I didn't want to do. Using Wix saved me bucket load of time and money.

The simplicity is key
What do you like best about the product?
My review title says it all. Wix is the easiest platform I have ever used. From the dashboard and managing multiple sites, to editing web pages within the studio...every step of building and maintaining a website on Wix is perfect.
What do you dislike about the product?
Im being squeezed to find any problems with Wix. If I was to choose, it would be the pricing. While I believe the pricing is fairly reasonable, it wouldn't hurt to lower the cost for loyal customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting a website through Wix is such a joy. I have used other Web builders before and everything is just so plain and simple in comparison.
Can't Win with Wix
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use when developing a website.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot but the main one is the Customer Support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wix was supposed to assist regarding a billing dispute. I was charged for a premium service plan, which will not be used since I have migrated websites. After reaching out and leaving reviews, they seem more concerned about their self-interests than assisting me with my concern.
No code solution for a fully customized way to bring your business online
What do you like best about the product?
Wix helps new businesses like me to bring our personal brand into reality. I was able to customize my website with blog integration and e commerce shop where I am able to promote my affiliate products.
For my career development I used wix to build a project portfolio for showcasing my generative AI engineer skills.

There's nothing to dislike. Wix has many customizable, minimalistic or elegant templates to build website or landing page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping to manage no code website.
Simple compared to others
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a compulsive do-it-yourselfer and started with wordpress based on it's full function list but damn, it was confusing and I got way too impatient. I've also used squarespace (it's been a few years so assume many updates since then) and of the three Wix is the best. Squarespace is an easy editor as well but sometimes the default templates / layouts and the mobile versions didn't line up / present the way I was expecting. When using Wix I never even had that thought once. it was perfect.
Also, from start of implementation to first presentable site took less than an hour.

What do you dislike about the product?
They hide the web editor / blog post manager in their massive menu. why not put those front and center and spare us all the digging every time it's time for anew blog post.

presenting our company to the world. SEO.
