Wix Review: Advantages and Disadvantages of the Website Builder
Tutorial Hosting
welcome to another website tool tester
review this time we take a look at the
new html5 website builder by Wix which
has replaced the previous flash model
almost 30 million sites have been built
already according to Wix as well as the
really nice design the spotlight is on
the ease of use and the html5 technology
this new technology enables stunning
image galleries and other animations
which are hard to find among other
website builders and although it might
all sound a little too technical you
don’t need any programming skills to use
it so can we speak of a successful
revision or is there still room for
improvement stick to the end of the
video to learn all about wix’s pro’s and
con’s now let’s take a closer look at
the website builder
registration is quick and simple and we
selected a smart nightclub design on the
upper left-hand side the website editor
is divided into the sections pages
design adding elements settings and Wix
app market this is where you edit pages
make color adjustments add image
galleries or integrate additional apps
on the upper right-hand side you can
reverse changes save your site and
finally publish it let’s add a new text
block to do so we select shapes and
lines under add we click on box and use
box style to
then we add a header to the box this is
located at add text title
you
now we do the same for the text
as you see it’s very easy to operate and
understand
don’t forget save your sight
under pages you can add new pages to the
navigation this is also where you choose
which pages will be shown in addition
you can also determine in real time the
level at which the page should appear
you can change the appearance of the
navigation itself by clicking directly
on navigation
overall design changes can be carried
out via background colors and fonts
you
as you can see you can give your website
a new look with only a few clicks
there is however a considerable
restriction compared to other providers
unfortunately it’s not possible to
change the design subsequently that’s
why you need to consider carefully what
suits you best
the App Market offers many add-ons
whether like buttons chat functions or
contact forms you’ll find what you want
here if the suitable app is not
available from Wix you can integrate any
HTML code you wish with the iframe embed
app
okay let’s move to the administrative
area in four stages you can add a mobile
website version you’ll need this to
optimize the display for mobile devices
such as smartphones
however as you’ll notice this page
initially has nothing to do with your
original site you need to setup the
layout and contents completely from
scratch unfortunately changes to the
main site are also not transferred
automatically Wix should have found a
better solution for that as Jimdo for
example has done there you don’t need to
worry at all about setting up and
maintaining the mobile website as
everything runs automatically in the
background
the new website builder really works to
a great degree but we’ve had to conclude
that Wix is still a little bit ahead of
its time in some places html5 is the
right direction but at the moment it
still has a serious disadvantage many
older browsers such as Internet Explorer
8 and older can’t display the smart
looking websites that have been built
with Wix while this problem will solve
itself over time it’s still very present
right now in this respect
you’re better placed with Jimdo or
Weebly for example Wix is suitable
primarily for impressive presentations
artists photographers bands wedding
couples etc they’re offered a platform
on which they can present themselves
wonderfully it remains to be seen which
areas of the website builder will be
improved by Wix as soon as it’s ready
you will as usual find out all you need
to know about the new version from us
