Building a site before going live
- Wix web hosting
- Drag and drop editor
- Thousands of templates
- Wix-branded wixsite.com address
Costs extra
A custom domain and removing Wix branding need a paid plan.
Wix puts the editor, hosting, domain and apps in one account. That removes friction on day one, at the cost of a Premium plan per site and no export to another host.
Overview
Wix is a hosted website builder. Building is free; a Premium plan (Light, Core, Business or Business Elite) connects your own domain, removes Wix branding and sets storage, commerce tools and collaborator limits.
Strengths
- Everything in one account: editor, hosting, domain and apps.
- Built-in stores, bookings and an app market.
- Quick start for non-technical owners.
Watch out for
- A Premium plan per site, every year ($17 to $159/mo, billed yearly).
- Collaborators limited by plan: 2 on Light up to 100 on Business Elite.
- AI runs on credits, and Wix reserves the right to change credit costs.
- No export of the site to another host; leaving means rebuilding.
