Perfect for building free websites, as long as you can tolerate their obnoxious banner

What are the best aspects of this product?

What puts Wix way ahead of its paid/unpaid competitors is that it provides open access to amazing options and features one would only have upon paying for a premium package. Wix's free version is absolutely admirable, with classy features and customization options, fun graphics, and background editors. The biggest advantage of using it (together with few more bucks in your pocket) is that you save time.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

The free version is not exactly a 'no strings attached' one, and you will see that immediatelly after their obnoxious 'Use Wix' banner appears on the bottom of your page. Users will know immediately that you didn’t pay a dime to make the website, in case they didn't figure it out already noticing your username on the URL. I hate adware in general (mostly competitors' ads), but I think even those are better than having your own platform advertising on your site. It is so annoying!

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

I work in a school library, and I created a website to display the content. It was fairly easy, even when I was trying to upload media and to create catalogues. Storage is unlimited, which is quite strange for an unpaid platform, but who'd care about it now. I have my website, and I am pretty happy with it!
