What is Wix?
Wix is a website builder. Its Free plan costs nothing and says no credit card is required. It includes web hosting, a drag-and-drop editor, no-code design features and templates. Premium plans add features such as connecting your own domain and removing Wix branding from your site.
Pros: what Wix does well
- Free plan with no credit card needed
- Drag-and-drop editor and many templates
- Hosting is included
Cons: where it falls short
- Custom domain and removing Wix branding need a paid plan
- Free plan limits are not listed in full on the plans page
