History of Wix - the leader in DIY Website Builder
Wix has 3 founders: CEO, Avishai Abrahami; Chief Technology Officer, Giora Kaplan; on the VP Client Development, Nadav Abrahami. More of their work and expertise are mentioned on the Wix website itself. Feel free to get to know their amazing team.
This popular website design was established in 2006. By 2009, it gained about 1 million users. In 2014, the number increased up to 15 million users. And in this year, 2019, Wix serves over 150 million users in 190 countries!
Should you hire a designer or build a website yourself?
According to research, if you are going for a professional website design, you’ll have to pay an average amount of $500 to over $10,000. On the other hand, if you decide on hiring website developers for a basic site, that may cost you around $6,750. But if it were a freelancer that establishes his or her own rates, the costs would range from $500 up to $3000. However, it really depends on the type of design you require them to make for you.
But why hire a web designer if you can just create your own within an hour or less? By using Wix, you can save or invest your thousands for something else better instead of hiring highly-paid professionals. Either way, there is still a practical way to achieve a website if you lack the time to do so. That's when an affordable virtual assistant comes into the picture.
Why choose to build with Wix?
Wix is now rated 5 stars setting it above other website creators such as Site123, Wordpress, Weebly, etc. Thus, it’s proclaimed to be the leader in DIY website creation.
In addition, Wix is well known for its intuitive interface. Unlike the WordPress interface, which only experts can navigate through, if you have no web development background, Wix is most likely to be the best and easiest solution for newbies - like me. That means no coding or design skills needed!
Furthermore, Wix encourages us to be creative with designs that we can uniquely be known for. That is why today, Wix has more than 1000 innovative features. They provide a number of specialized and stunning templates for: Business, Photography, Music, Restaurants, Blog, Fashion, Education, you name it! So who you are today, whatever your business is, wherever you are, whenever you’re in the mood to reach out to people, Wix can help us create what we need to put out to the world.
I choose to build with Wix
Well, during my Freelancing Course, my FVA Coach mentioned Wordpress and Wix as two of their most recommended website creators. Comparing the two, I agreed that working with WordPress is quite tricky but it does have great features and is SEO friendly. But if you are aiming for a simple, easy, and fun experience, then Wix is the deal.
I love the fact that I can still improve my official website’s features whenever I come up with new ideas. For example, if my business grows to an extent that I can accommodate partnership, I have options to have people actually sign up to my website or if I decide to add PayPal as a payment method for my services, I can do that. So if you want to create your own website as someone new to the business world, Wix is perfect for you.
This year up to the years to come, Wix will be releasing and updating new features. One of the new features just released this month- September 16- was the Wix Mobile App where you get to view your blog analytics on the go.
