Wix is my go-to platform to build websites for my clients, keep reading to find out why I love it so much!
It's super easy to use which is why I love designing a website on Wix
The best thing about Wix is that it is soooo easy to use. My clients often comment how intuitive and how user friendly it is when they come to edit their own site. One client recently mentioned that editing on Wix feels a lot like using Canva – and I completely agree. Both platforms are incredibly simple to navigate, yet packed with powerful features. You won't spend days on end trying to work out the basics. And for anything more challenging, speak to a Wix expert.
No coding knowledge needed
Honestly, I'm a designer not a coder. In the past I have had to learn coding to build websites, and let’s just say, it didn’t come naturally to me. I’m much more of a visual person. So, when I discovered Wix back in 2017, I was thrilled. For the first time, I could focus entirely on the design and aesthetics without having to dive into code.
The built in features
One of the reasons I love designing websites on Wix is the incredible range of built-in features it offers, even for the most basic sites. Whether you’re adding simple enquiry forms, incorporating eye-catching animations, or showcasing your content with stylish galleries, Wix has it all. These features aren’t just add-ons – they come as standard, making it easy to create professional, dynamic sites without needing any extra plugins or complicated setups. From decorative design elements to functional tools, Wix ensures that every site is equipped with the essentials to look great and perform smoothly right from the start.
Access to more apps
If you’re looking for even more functionality, Wix makes it incredibly easy to expand your site with its extensive App Market. With just a few clicks, you can integrate a wide range of additional features to enhance your site’s capabilities. One of my personal favorites is the FAQ app. It allows you to seamlessly add an interactive FAQ section with drop-down questions and answers, which not only boosts usability but also gives the site a polished, professional feel. I often recommend this to my clients because it adds a layer of sophistication while improving the overall user experience – perfect for providing quick answers and keeping the site organised.
Roles & permissions
One of the great features of Wix is the ability to assign different permissions to various roles within your business. This is incredibly useful, as it allows you to control exactly who has access to what. For example, many of my clients keep me assigned as the 'web designer,' so I can easily jump onto their site and make edits whenever needed. You can also create specific roles like 'billing manager' or 'blog writer,' ensuring each person only has access to the areas relevant to their responsibilities. This has two key benefits:
A) It helps prevent overwhelm with a clear, tailored interface, users can focus on the sections they need, without getting lost in unnecessary options.
B) It ensures the right level of access by restricting certain areas, you prevent team members from accidentally altering complex sections that require specialised skills, keeping the site running smoothly and professionally.
Blogs & Newsletters
Adding a blog to your website with Wix is incredibly simple. Once you've set up your site’s design and styles, all that’s left to do is focus on writing and publishing your blog posts. Your content will automatically appear on your blog page, beautifully styled and ready to engage your audience. What’s even better is that Wix comes with built-in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) features to enhance your blog's visibility and performance, helping you reach more readers.
In addition, Wix offers impressive email marketing tools that make it easy to create and send newsletters or mail shots in just minutes. You can even set up automations, like automatically thanking visitors after they submit an enquiry or sending downloadable documents to customers once they’ve signed up for your mailing list. These built-in tools save time and streamline communication, giving you more time to focus on growing your business.
