Wix : FAQ

What is Wix and what is this tool used for?

Wix is an online tool that allows you to easily create a website without needing to know how to code. It's what's known as a CMS, or content management system.

You drag, drop, edit... and your website takes shape in just a few clicks. It's handy if you have a project, business, or idea that you want to get online quickly.

What types of websites can you create with Wix (showcase website, blog, e-commerce, etc.)?

You can create all kinds of websites with Wix: a showcase website to present your company or business, a blog to share articles, an e-commerce website to sell online, a portfolio to showcase your creations, or even a booking website if you offer services by appointment.

But to be completely transparent with you, Wix is primarily designed for creating showcase websites. It's a good CMS for creating an online showcase for your business, but much less so for creating an e-commerce website (in which case I would recommend Shopify, PrestaShop, and of course WooCommerce).

Does Wix allow you to sell products online?

As I mentioned, Wix offers an e-commerce solution that allows you to add your products, manage inventory, track orders, and offer different payment methods. But I also said that Wix is not the best solution for selling online. Below, you will find the alternatives to Wix that I recommend.

Can I integrate a booking or appointment scheduling system on Wix?

With the Wix Bookings app, you can easily add a booking system to your site. Your customers can make appointments directly online, choose a time slot, pay if necessary, and all without having to call or write to you. It's simple and very useful for service professionals.

What are the advantages and limitations of Wix?

Advantages:

  • Very easy-to-use interface
  • Varied and modern website templates
  • Built-in features (store, blog, bookings, SEO, etc.)
  • No need for external hosting
  • Everything is centralized on a single platform

Limitations

  • Limited changes once the site is published
  • Less freedom than a custom-built website
  • Performance may vary depending on the content of the site

Is Wix suitable for beginners with no technical skills?

The CMS is designed for people who want to create a website without technical knowledge. The interface is intuitive, the templates are ready to use, and you are guided step by step. Even if you have never touched a website before, you will be able to build something professional.

And if you need help creating or managing your Wix website, you'll find experts in this CMS further up the page.

Do I have to pay to use Wix? What are the prices?

You can use Wix for free to create your website, but your address will be wixsite.com and there will be Wix ads on your pages. For a professional website, you'll need to choose a paid plan. Prices vary depending on your needs: domain name, e-commerce, storage, etc.

Prices change quite often and vary from country to country. But expect to pay less than $20 per month for a showcase website, and between $40 and $180 per month for an e-commerce website.

What is the difference between Wix and other platforms such as WordPress or Webflow?

I'll quickly compare the three CMSs beginning with "W." But a real comparison would take pages and pages.

Wix is an all-in-one solution that is easy to use and perfect if you want to create a website quickly without complicating your life.

WordPress is more flexible but requires more time and some technical knowledge.

Webflow, on the other hand, is more for designers who want total control over the visuals and code.

Each platform has its own style, so it all depends on your goals and skill level. For a showcase website, Wix can be a good solution.

How do I customize the design of a Wix website?

Once you've chosen your template, you can change everything with the editor: text, images, colors, buttons, layout... Just click on an element to customize it. You can also add sections, embed videos, change fonts, and even create animations. It's really flexible, even if you don't have any design skills.

Can I create a multilingual website with Wix?

Wix makes it easy to create a multilingual website. You add the languages you want, then you can translate each page. Users can then choose their language using a button provided for this purpose. This is very useful if you are targeting an international audience or several language regions.

How can I improve the SEO of a Wix website?

Wix offers several tools to optimize your website's SEO. You can edit title tags, descriptions, URLs, add alt text to your images, and connect your website to Google Search Console. There is also a built-in SEO wizard that guides you step by step based on your business. For best results, consider creating content regularly and paying attention to your page structure.

Can I integrate external tools (Google Analytics, Stripe, etc.) on Wix?

You can easily connect your Wix site to external services such as Google Analytics to track statistics, Stripe or PayPal for payments, or Facebook Pixel for your advertising campaigns. The Wix App Market offers many ready-to-use integrations, and you can also add custom scripts if needed.

Where can I find a freelance Wix expert?

If you're looking for a professional to help you, you can hire a freelance Wix expert directly on our BeFreelancr platform (above on this page).

You'll find experts who can create, improve, or optimize your site according to your needs, whether it's for design, SEO, e-commerce, or digital strategy.

What Wix services can you find on BeFreelancr?

On BeFreelancr, you can find a wide variety of services related to Wix: complete website creation, redesign of existing pages, SEO optimization, addition of features such as booking or e-commerce, configuration of a multilingual website, integration of external tools, or even strategic support to develop your online business with Wix.

What are the alternatives to Wix?

If you're looking for an alternative to Wix, you might want to check out WordPress (more flexible), Webflow (more technical and design-oriented), Squarespace (elegant and simple), or Shopify if your priority is e-commerce.

Each tool has its advantages, depending on your goals, budget, and technical level. As I mentioned, Wix is not the best tool for an online store (yet it is more expensive than Shopify or WooCommerce).

How do I transfer a Wix website to another platform? Is it possible?

It is not possible to automatically transfer a Wix site to another platform because Wix is a closed solution. This means that you cannot export the design or structure of the site. However, you can manually retrieve your content (text, images) and then reintegrate it into your new site on WordPress, Webflow, or another platform.

It's a bit (a lot) of work, but it's doable if you're changing your strategy. A freelancer can take care of migrating your Wix site if you'd rather not do it yourself.
