Busting the Myth: Wix is only for simple websites!

I’ve got a serious crush❤️ for all things Wix. Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: the myth that Wix is just for “basic” websites. Spoiler alert: it’s time to bust that myth wide open as well as the myth that Wix is no good for SEO.

I’ve built and maintained dozens of Wix sites for clients, from stunning professional portfolios to beautiful online stores and even exclusive membership communities. Trust me, Wix can handle complexity with grace.

Ditch the code, not the power

Sure, WordPress gives you ultimate coding freedom, but let’s be honest: for most businesses and business owners, that’s like needing a Formula 1 car for your daily commute. Wix empowers you with drag-and-drop ease and pre-built features, freeing you to focus on content and design, not wrestling with code.

Complex doesn’t have to mean complicated

With Wix, you can easily showcase your work with dynamic portfolio layouts, complete with filtering, lightbox effects, and even client testimonials. Build sleek online stores with product variations, secure payment gateways, and inventory management. Or, create exclusive membership sites with gated content, discussion forums, and member-only areas. All within Wix’s intuitive interface!

This is not an Ad

I know this blog is beginning to sound like an advert for Wix, but it’s not. In fact, I built my own website on WordPress but that’s ok for me, as I know that platform really well and it’s my day job to maintain websites for clients. But I am guessing if you are reading this, then it’s not yours!

But wait, there’s more! Wix doesn’t shy away from advanced features. If you need something you can add custom code to get that bespoke touch, you can also leverage powerful integrations with tools like Zapier and Webflow.

Worried about SEO?

Wix has built-in optimization tools and apps to get your site ranking high. But is as good as WordPress and the many SEO plugins that work with them?

Remember the whispers about Wix SEO being subpar? Well, consider those whispers silenced! Wix has come a long way, offering built-in SEO tools and apps that help you optimize your site for search engines. Plus, Wix seamlessly integrates with Google Business Profile, allowing you to manage your online presence directly from your Wix dashboard. This means claiming your business listing, updating information, and engaging with reviews – all in one place! With this powerful duo, you can ensure your website not only looks stunning but also gets found by the right audience.

Now, let’s talk about ease of use

Remember that WordPress “freedom”? It often comes with a steep learning curve, requiring plugins, themes, and constant updates. Wix, on the other hand, is built for intuitiveness. You don’t need coding knowledge to create stunning websites – just drag, drop, and customize. Plus, Wix handles updates and maintenance automatically, freeing you from technical headaches.

In short, Wix is the perfect platform for those who want:

  • Stunning, complex websites without the coding nightmares
  • A user-friendly interface that empowers, not intimidates
  • Powerful features and integrations for ultimate flexibility
  • Automatic updates and maintenance for peace of mind

So, ditch the myth and embrace the possibilities! With Wix, your website can be as complex as your vision, without sacrificing ease of use.
