About Wix
Wix is one of the world's largest website building platforms, powering over 200 million websites globally. Founded in 2006 in Tel Aviv, Israel, Wix built its reputation on making website creation accessible to anyone regardless of technical skill. The platform's drag-and-drop editor gives users complete design freedom, while over 900 designer-made templates cover nearly every industry. Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence) can generate a personalized website in minutes based on a few questions. Beyond website building, Wix has expanded into a full business platform with Wix Stores for e-commerce, Wix Bookings for appointments, Wix Blog, Wix Events, and Wix SEO tools. The Wix App Market offers 300+ apps for added functionality. Wix is particularly popular with small businesses, freelancers, and creatives who want professional results without hiring a developer. Plans start with a free tier (with Wix ads), and paid plans range from $17/month (Light) to $159/month (Business Elite) with full e-commerce and advanced features.
