Pros and cons
What Wix does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.
Pros
- Very fast to start, including via the AI generator
- Hundreds of templates by industry
- Hosting, security, and support included with no setup
Cons
- Migrating to another platform is nearly impossible once the site is built
- Deep customization more limited than with a CMS like WordPress
- Performance sometimes lags on sites heavy with visual elements
Wix: when it makes sense.
Great for a simple, fast showcase site; for serious e-commerce, prefer a dedicated tool.
Keep if
You want a professional site online quickly without learning to code. You don't plan to migrate to another platform mid-term
- You use it at least once a week
- The monthly cost (€20) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You want full control over the code or plan to migrate someday. Your business needs advanced e-commerce features (Shopify fits better)
- You use it less than once a month
- A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
