Review: WIX.com, Pg. 3

Performance
Flash? Usually sites that are designed in Flash are not search engine friendly right? Not in the case of Wix. In fact I’ve been pretty amazed at the results I’ve gotten on Google search. I’m not exactly sure how they have pulled this off, but it works and works well.

There have been a few times when I felt one of my sites were not loading as fast as they should be. Wix was notified and soon the problem was fixed and wasn’t an issue again. Anytime when dealing with Flash you are going to run into some people not being able to see your website. It’s a choice you have to make and I say it’s worth taking the chance. Most people who would come to your site probably visit YouTube or some other flash based site. If not, a message will appear telling them to download the latest version of Flash.

Overall I would say knowing its limitations going in, Wix delivers on its promise of making Flash-based websites simple to create.


Adding pictures and other types of documents is stress free.

Value
There are several different ways to make the most of the Wix experience. Once you have created your free account you can design your site (You can also design email/widgets as well). There are several different options for payment.

NOTE: Prices are current as of this review; they can and probably will fluctuate. Discounts are also offered when a plan is purchased for a year long agreement. Currently one domain name registration and $75 towards Google ad words is also be offered for signing up.

First if you’re only interested in a site and not a web domain you can go the free route. Yes, Free. Your address will be wix.com/your account name. You will also see a Wix ad pop up on your site. You are limited to 500MB storage space and 500MB bandwidth. You can add your own domain to the free hosting for around $4.95/month.

If you are interested in making your site seem more like an original creation without ads and your own domain, there are a few more options. The combo plan offers 1GB storage and 1GB bandwidth for $14.99/month. The premium plan offers 2.5 GB storage and unlimited bandwidth for $17.90/month.
