Editorial note
Wix is a website builder that combines AI generation with a drag-and-drop editor. You create a site from a single prompt or one of 2,000+ templates, then refine layouts, text and images. Hosting is included, and paid plans add a domain, payments, ecommerce, scheduling and marketing tools.
Who it’s for
- Small businesses building their first site themselves
- Freelancers and service providers taking bookings and payments
- Creators who want a free site to start and upgrade later
- Not ideal for: sites that need to move between platforms easily or run complex custom code.
Key use cases
- Funnels & pages
- Orders & inventory
What you can do with it
Wix lets you design, host and run a website in one place. You describe your business to the AI builder or pick a template, then move and style elements freely in the editor. Business tools add an online store, bookings and services, a blog and payments, and built-in SEO and marketing tools help bring in traffic. Wix Studio is a separate platform aimed at agencies and freelancers.
