Wix is the most popular web hosting solution on the internet — 24% of website-builder sites were created on the platform, and it’s not hard to see why. Wix offers a clean, straightforward interface and up to 900 customizable templates with drag-and-drop components. To save you browsing time, a baked-in artificial design intelligence (ADI) suggests suitable templates, web pages, and copy based on the kind of website you’re building. It also gets points for niching down: from the jump, you can select whether you’re creating a website for an online store, blog, portfolio, event, restaurant, service business, and more.
If you’re not satisfied with the pre-made templates, Wix offers the option of hiring an on-platform professional to vamp up or custom-make designs to your taste. You enter a brief and a budget, and you can find an expert for designing a logo, creating a marketing strategy, writing custom code, or integrating a third-party payment method.
Other useful additions include inbuilt ad, email, and SEO tools (although the latter is only available on paid plans, but you should know that storage options are limited (even on the paid plans), and the site doesn’t do great on mobile. You can get started with an ad-supported free strategize on Wix, but to access more features (including a free domain name and web hosting package), consider one of their premium plans.
