Wix

Founded in 2006 and now serving hundreds of millions of users globally, Wix offers a drag-and-drop visual editor paired with hundreds of professionally designed templates across dozens of industry verticals from restaurants and photographers to e-commerce stores and service-based businesses.

Its accessibility has made website ownership achievable for people who previously had no practical path to establishing an online presence.

Beyond basic website creation, Wix has evolved into a comprehensive business platform offering integrated tools for e-commerce (including inventory management, payment processing, and shipping logistics), appointment scheduling, email marketing, SEO optimization, and blog publishing.

Its Wix App Market extends functionality through hundreds of first- and third-party integrations, enabling users to add capabilities like CRM, live chat, loyalty programs, and subscription management without leaving the platform.

The Wix Editor X and Wix Studio tools cater to professional designers and agencies needing responsive layouts and more advanced customization controls.

Wix operates on a freemium model, offering a feature-limited free tier with Wix-branded domain and hosting, while paid plans unlock custom domains, e-commerce features, and advanced analytics. Its hosting infrastructure is cloud-based and globally distributed, providing reliable performance and automatic scaling.

For businesses that want more control over their technical stack, Wix Velo (formerly Corvid) provides a JavaScript development environment for building custom applications directly within the platform.
