Wix and how it helped me

A month ago I was contacted by peerspot.com who asked me to review Wix and it's impact on the business.

What is our primary use case?

I use Wix for my management consultancy business. I built the website as a landing page and booking tool where clients can book me through it. There is a calendar with dates, a live chat function, and links to a blog and other features.

How has it helped my organization?

It has made my website look attractive because the drag and drop function snaps into place - central, center, right, left. It does what I want it to do when I ask it the first time. If everything is not centered correctly or does not look of a high standard, people will not look at the website. It makes it very easy to build an attractive, professional-looking website. I can use the hash tool for the colors to put in the hash number which follows the colors of my business exactly.

What is most valuable?

This is the first website I have built with Wix. I checked with a couple of competitors, although I cannot remember their names. I settled on Wix because the interface of how you build a website suited me and was easy to understand. The other two I looked at were not as intuitive. I could probably use them, but I felt it would take me twice as long to build the website. Wix is simple to use, works consistently, and never goes wrong. It is straightforward to use.

What needs improvement?

The mobile view needs to be fixed when reviewing on the desktop to show what it actually displays on the phone. There were a couple of small bugs which I think they fixed. Sometimes when dragging and dropping things into place, they would snap into place, and then after saving and checking the live page, it would not quite match what was showing in the website builder. I would have to go back in and move it to the right and then snap it back for it to work. Sometimes doing exactly the same thing when building requires one or two attempts to get it to reflect what you want to see on the live page.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for exactly a year because I have just received a renewal for my website. It has been approximately a year and a week since I built the website.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Sometimes what is displayed on the laptop does not reflect what appears on the phone. I keep my phone open on the website so I can refresh it and check. A couple of adjustments moving things around makes it work. In general, it works quite effectively. There are a few bugs where what it says it will show on the phone versus the laptop does not always match. It works effectively 90% of the time, though it needs some bug fixes.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used other solutions before.

How was the initial setup?

There is a bit of a learning curve. It took me about an hour to understand the interface. After an hour, it became pretty straightforward with no issues.

What was our ROI?

I have received some work through the website. It has paid for itself. Over the course of a year, the cost of the website and the email address that comes with it through Google can be covered by approximately two hours of work. It provides good value in that sense. I get sufficient work through the website to cover its costs.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have used Google Analytics with it. I have not used Wix's internal analytics, as I have always used Google Analytics.

What other advice do I have?

The biggest advantages are that it is inexpensive and very easy to use, which means I can spend less time building the website and more time working. Using another portal would probably give me a poor result and require more time to achieve that result. It is quick to use, intuitive, and gives me good results.

For what I need, I would rate it 9 out of 10. It has been very good, with only a couple of bugs affecting the score. When you need to provide advice, it usually suggests something is not very good. The fact that I cannot think of any advice indicates that it is good from the outset. Everything about Wix made me choose it over the other two competitors.

I do not think there was anything negative about using Wix. It was the best tool for what I needed.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

NA

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Google
