Wix is a platform for building websites with a drag-and-drop visual editor that also lets you set up an online store. It is a type of eCommerce CMS designed for people who want to start without technical knowledge.
How it works
You pick a template, customize the design with the visual editor and turn on the store features to upload products and get paid. The site is hosted on the platform itself, with a subscription plan.
Advantages
- A very simple visual editor: no programming needed.
- Hosting and technical maintenance included.
- Works for both a corporate site and a small store.
Limits to consider
- Fewer eCommerce tools than specialized platforms if your catalog grows.
- Migrating to another platform is usually harder, because the site is tied to Wix.
- Always check the current plans and costs.
Who is it for?
Professionals, entrepreneurs and small businesses that need a website with a simple store. If you plan to sell a lot or across several channels, Tienda Nube, Shopify or WooCommerce may suit you better.
